Raley <BR> <BR>This is taken from the WW website: <BR>Backside Air Raley <BR> <BR>Description: Starting heelside, rider goes into air and raises board above the body (pushing the board up - inverted) <BR> <BR>Category: Advanced <BR>Point Value: 1250 <BR> <BR>Tip on performing this trick: Joel Goertz from Kelowna, BC,Canada says; "Like most big tricks, the Raley requires a specific approach. The approach to this trick is absolutely crucial to its execution. Speed is key. Edge out as far as you can on your toes to set up for the backside/heelside approach. Use your progressive cut but build it quickly and increasing it as you get closer to the wake. As you get closer to the wake, start dropping your butt lower than normal and keeping your back straight. Stay low. Edge all the way through the wake and you will feel the lift on the board. Let it go. When you've reached the peak of your extension, start bringing the handle down towards your knees and bring your feet back underneath you for the landing. This is when you'll discover whether or not you got a good cut to the wake...Plan for a few painful failures. There is a huge psychological aspect of this trick and overcoming it is half the battle. The key is all or nothing. Good luck
