Every time I throw my Raley I lay it out and then I get jerked into a flip for some reason! What the heck am I doing wrong? I do not know if Im getting enough air time.. HOW much air is needed to throw one off? PLEASE HELP!

Im not the most consitant with my raily but I think i can help. First your going to need a good bit of air, like a big wake jump. About 6 to 7ft. But if it make u do a front flip then your most likely not keeping your head up and looking out. If u look down it will throw u inverted. And you just have to be ready for the boat's tention when your exstended cause it will snap u back pretty hard. hope it helps...

I might be doing that! Im not sure if im getting 6-7 feet up also, only on my double-ups... But im still haveing a hard time with them,, there kind of unpridectible to me! But I will see if I can do them on a Triple up! I can do them on my trampoline like crazy, but when I get behind the boat it tears me apart when I flip.....( WATER ENEMA )

If anyone else has help too let me know:

Thanks: Gene.

I think you might not be fully extending either i heard that is a problem. When i do mine i like do it then i like spin( I ride right foot forward, and my right foot goes back so its like i am doing a OA FS 3) if any one has any help let me know?

Slay - that's caused by not having enough weight on your front foot. You need more weight in front than a normal wake jump to keep the board level when you pop. Otherwise you start to rotate and "star gaze", which can lead to all kinds of problems. A buddy of mine was doing that and it would throw him off balance so he would drop his back hand, which completely screwed him up. So then he'd drop his head and let go with his other hand and end up doing a front flip. Kinda cool looking but painful landings.
