Dude everytime i try to do a raley i just end up doing a laid out backroll and i dont know what im doing wrong. My friend can land them fine and tries to give me tips but it doesnt help. it might be a mental block but i really dont know.

Too much weight on your back foot coming up the wake. Try doing them with a wakeskate first, then add the wakeboard.
|
Yes. Leo is correct. One of the main problems people have with raleys are stargazing them. You definatly need more weight on your front foot than you would expect.
|
From the point you start your cut, never stop looking at the boat.
|
I dont know about that matt, I dont look at the boat until I know I am riding up the wake.
|
yes...definitely try with a wakeskate...i have been and it helps a ton with confidence and bringing your feet back under you...my only problem is now i did them with the wakeboard but now i land switch...whats the deal?i can land and ride switch but what am i doing wrong?...maybe not looking at the boat totally? <BR> <BR> <BR>
|
Midwesty- I know your problem, but I am not sure if I can put it into words. I had the same problem when i started doing them. I think it has to do with handle positioning. Try pulling the handle more to your lead hip. When I first started doing them, I would drift into a 911 but then have to yank with back hand to pull both feet under evenly.
|
thats it...now that u say that the handle is always on my back hip and when i am bringing it back in i spin the 180...thanks...will try it this weekend
|
Good luck bro. Last season I learned how to pull one, and I agree... The wakeskate is the safest, and easiest way to learn. Here's a pic of me 2 weeks ago... Sorry about the goofy look on my face. Hurry up and learn it... It's a fun, and easy trick to do. <BR> <BR>-Blake <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/230498.jpg" alt="">

I don't know if I would question Matt's instruction. Take from the guy that stomps Vulcans! He definitely knows how to do a raley.
|
In the book, they say to push the handle towards the flats on the landing to avoid the blind landing. <BR> <BR>Eric

If he is landing Vulcan's, he is also a little more experienced and can trust himself not too look at the wake. For us mortals, we look at the wake till the last second. I would not trust myself by not looking at the wake.
|
I never stop looking at the tower or boat. If your looking at the wake you never going to have <BR>enough time to extend and then pull it back in, a raley is a trick that should be taken to the <BR>flats, also looking a the boat will keep you from stargazing somewhat. good luck
