two things: try and keep the weight more even between your feet on the approach, and keep you head looking up towards the boat, it looks like you're looking down. good luck

NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE TOWER WHEN LEARNING RALEYS....NEVER, basically the only thing to learn a raley is keep your eyes on the tower. when i learned them a few years a go, i actually didnt even look at the wake cutting in, only the tower, but i wouldnt reccomend that, i am just weird

man how bad did that last fall hurt

falls didnt look to bad, wait till you keep your eyes on the tower and dont pull it down in time, that is when raley falls get bad

kyle, true dat. i fell like that for the first time in a while on a raley and my body folded and i pulled a stomach muscle and couldnt breathe or talk or move for a little bit after lol. i was slanted too so my front edge caught... it sucked. anyways, you gota pull that handle down to your lead hip and keep your eyes on the boat. and pull the handle DOWN towards the water and pull your knees up to get your body back underneath you. on the last one for example you kept the handle at your head when you were trying to pull it back down. look at some vids of people doin clean raleys and watch how they use the handle to move their body.

one more thing you could improve on is flattening out before you hit the wake. you should be holding your edge through the wake for a raley, it will help kick you into the raley motion faster.

With a raley is it vital that you look at the tower, cause a lot of the times i watch pros they always seem to be looking at where they're going to land, and when i do them on the tramp i also look down at the tramp.

once you are used to them you can do whatever you want.

Wake Force One, stick around for a few years and you will realize the ENTIRE site is the same thing over and over......

What I have noticed is most people like to chime in on stuff they know about regardless of the info being repetitive or helpful.

IT'S A MESSAGE BOARD!

IMO - as long as people are not cutting and pasting other peoples responses I don't see what the big deal is.

I'm no pro here and I have not done a Raley, but it looks like your pulling the rope to the wrong hip when your bringing yourself down, causing you to rotate. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but thats what I notice from your video!!

Nice attempts, makes me wanna get out there and grow some balls...
