What is the difference between a back to blind and a KGB!

Is it making the pass before u hit the water or landing font side as apposed to toeside after u make the pass. (extra 180)

Back to blind is when you start to sober up, but then get your second wind and start drinking again.

A KGB is definitely a shooter, and very useful when trying to achieve the above.

a back to blind you dont pass the handle in the air, and a KGB you don't land blind, anything in the middle is either a back to front :)(if you dont pass the bar for a KGB), you may also call this a back to back or back to heel with an allehoop,; or a back to toe with an air pass ( because now your not technically landing blind any more hence it's not a back to blind with an airpass cause you cant be blind if your lead hand has the bar???), with a back to back or back to front ( whatever you want to call it) actually being a kgb (if it's passed in the air) , or have i got it all back to front ?

In wakeboarding a mobe is any invert including a full 360 rotation. Weather or not you pass the handle is a touchy issue as a Whirlbird (backflip with a 360 spin where the handle goes over head)is not really classed as a mobe. If you do a roll to blind your only doing a 180 so its not a mobe, unless you started blind which would be interested to watch because alcohol effects your judgement.

Whats an F16 and does anyone have one on video?

I thought if you passed the bar in the air (not inverted) and landed toeside it is still a back to blind.

A KGB needs the extra 180

my question is what is the difference between riding toeside and riding blind???
i think you may find it is that the bar and lines are "wrapped" or pulling from your back away from you....so if you pass the bar in a kgb atemp and land without the extra 180 , then the bar isnt wrapped around your back ? your front hand has the bar, and if your front hand has the bar , how can you call that blind ?? it is MUCH MUCH easier landing like this (TOESIDE) than blind.Blind isn't just looking away from the kite when you land?
, you could land like that and not even be able to land blind at all..

IMO it isn't a back to blind with a pass
its a back "revert" to toe with an air pass , which is probably between a "normal" back to blind and KGB in difficulty

f16 is a kite loop with a roll or s-bend if you like

no here's the key!!!! its not that you have to ride blind out of the trick or even land blind, its called a back to blind because you do a back roll and a 180' "blind" (your back is the first to face foward) rotation. it doesnt matter where you pass the bar or even if you pass it at all its still a back to blind.
