Pull the handle down.

yes pull the handle down like paul said but also before you get totally extended start pulling it back in. hope this helps

same old smae old. Pull the handle down into your lead knee. I am so sick of this trick...every newbie only wants to learn how to do a ralley.

b/c every girl on the boat says do the superman trick, when girls start asking for ts9's, people will forget about railey's

I've wanted to to a raley since before I rode a wakeboard. I still can't do one

, but I think it's a good thing that such an old and relatively simple trick can still be so motivating for new riders.

actually, I really like TS fronts. If I had a choice between a raley and TS front, I would go with the TS. If it was grabbed.

Andy, what trick did you want to learn when you first started? HUH????

Just think about it everybody is new at one point. I've been riddin for a long time and I still think the raley is fun to throw big and just float. Ya it's easy but who cares. Wake boarding was ment to be a fun sport for everyone, RIGHT?

I don't think raleys are that easy of a trick to learn. I think r2r's were easier. When you eat it on a raley...IT HURTS. Also you can't do blind judges, krypts, 313's without knowing how to do a raley first.

but yes, pull the handle down. if you don't let go of the handle it should be natural to pull yourself down.

Don’t forget 911's, you cant do those without a raley. Most glides are easier to learn if you have a solid raley.

Also, most coaches advise learning a TS raley before moving onto the batwing. Now there’s a trick that impresses the ladies.

I know that edging harder and going bigger helps for some people to get the board back. If the board whips out from underneath you really hard and fast, and you push the handle back down to the water - it’s somewhat easier to come back again.

If I could only learn to do a wake to wake raley my knees would not hurt so bad.

(andy_nintzel)

ALlen-

I wanted to learn a tantrum. then a backroll then a I learned how raley.

Joshau-- calm down. ralleys are always cool, just easy and boring. I am way more into drifting grabs, and you cant learn how to do them if you cant do a ralley. Good luck have fun, and please catch your front edge for me on the way down. Eveybody needs to pay there dues on the ralley.

Say it with me people... Raley...

Not Railey or Ralley.

Thank you.

I think it will end the spelling issue here if we go back to calling it the superman air. Plus wake skateing should be referd to as water danceing. And the quality of youre rideing will only be dertimend by how good you're fashion air is.

Andy,

Nice call on the front edge raley homage...it has to be paid, even if just once...

RALEY! wahoo I got it right I think ...

I do think superman air is much cooler.
