Well first you have to familiraze yourself with your surroundings...once you know where you are and where you want to be, you have to take a long progressive approach to the "search button"

Really though, it's all over the place. If you found the Trick Tips on the forum, you should be able to find the Trick Tips on the site. Videos and a step-by-step set of directions

ya, it's everywhere, but not everyone has 2200 posts and knows every article thats ever been on this forum... plus fresh experience-related advice can be more valuable than a 'trick tip section'

its been like 6 months since ive rode so i dont remember everything real clearly, but here's what i remember...
the raley is a pretty natural motion when you do it correctly. to initate the trick you will want as much tension as you can muster up, as you release off the wake you want to let go of your body and let it glide behind you. if there is a lot of tension and you dont hold back like a Taco Bell Chalupa, then youre legs should shoot behind you pretty quickly. as your body position flattens out you pull the handle down to your knees and reach your legs beneath you. when done correctly you can find a sort of rythm in the motion, and it doesnt take much effort at all.

the thing ive found helps me the most is to remain composed when approaching the wake for a raley. the trick can require a lot of strength but if youre not calm and commited it's difficult to do smoothly. maximize tension on the approach, but stay in control.
