hey, in wakeboarding videos and stuff you see some of the pros doing stuff like surface raleys and tantrums and all sorts of inverts without using the wake at all. it seems impossible to do, but it can clearly be done. how does that work?

surface means they don't leave the water, these aren't surface tricks, what you are talking about is when they ollie and do a trick.

Air raley? I have heard of rolls, tantrums, mobes, and the like but a raley?

yes its called a square raley. its not too common behind a boat but youll see it a lot on the cable.

not using the wake doesn't make it be called an AIR whatever, any trick in the air is an air trick. When they don't use the wake it's an OLLIE whatever.

Actually, when you say that something is an "air" trick, it means that they didn't use the wake. Don't ask me for the logic behind that. It's just what they're called.

(with the exception of an air raley)

aloharodeo, ty540 is right.

That's not the way it is here.

Of course you'd say he's right Fredrick Eisenhauer, because if he's wrong so are you. Razz

alohardeo, its not Ollie whatever, because they arent actually olliing to do the trick. They create a lot of line tension really fast, then pop. Yeah if you do a 180 in the flats or whatever thats an ollie but these arent.

Like a air mobes and junk, you would cut and get line tension build up, then just glide right off of the water into the flip

how hard r these tricks?

savage3221 · Posted: Aug 11, 2004 10:19 pm Post subject:

I wouldn't know. I can't do them. but they look very very hard as I can't even do an air raley at a cable lake where it is much easier.
