|
|
| [Im having trouble stomping my landings on my Raley attempts. Ive only been trying them for three days and im getting plenty of height and the board is coming behind me just fine. When i land the board is scecthing out from under me and on a couple attempts i have gotten into good poistion in the air but at the bottom of the Raley its like i start spinning into a 180 which wood be cool if that were what i was trying to do. Any help where should my eyes be focused when i land?[/b] |

| try looking down the rope at the boat, that should keep you straighter for the landing... |

ManC you got ballz bro for keeping at it, those falls are ruthless, keep at it though
and if you going into the start of an S-Bend (from the sounds of it) go all out maybe u will stick that first, would be a real cool story "like raley hah i don't bother with those I only do S-Bends"  _________________ I'd rather die trying.....then live wondering |

Dw, you know nothing, stop posting. He doesn't have balls, as you can see he has been landing on the board and sketching out, not take an edge bite on the way down. And he is not going into an S-bend, he is turning Krypt on the way down.
As for the actual post. Just keep your eyes on the tip of the tower, when you look down you will slowly start to turn. Also the bigger you throw them the easier they are because the further out you take them the softer and slower the landing is. If you land them just like 5 to 10 feet outside the wake you will have to land on a hard edge, and might slip out, sort of like you are saying. |

I have tryed half a dozen raleys but I've only felt the pull of the boat once. Am I not edging hard enough? Any suggestions? I seem to get ok layed out, but I"m not being pulled into that raley position. _________________ The fear of the Lord, is the begining of wisdom. |

try to spot your landing on the way down and stomp it.  |
