My advice is, take the S-bend to the double up. Every raley based move I've ever done is much easier off the D-up.

For the 5 it really depends on if your doing it TS or HS. If you doing it HS you need to pass the handle to your front hand. and make sure you HS FS 180s are on lock.

RC, i can't do S-bends, but from what i've heard, think about doing a really laid out front flip when you do your raley.

any ways for a trick that i can do.

on your HS 5, if you can spin easy and end up sliding out with your back hand on the handle, then you are spinning too soon off the wake. by waiting, you will set your axis a little more over your toes for the landing making your sliding out problem gone.

if you are landing with only your back hand on the handle i would recommend some on land training to speed up your handle passes. i sometimes take a milk jug, fill it with water, and attatch an old handle to the handle of the milk jug. and spin the jug around you on land.

hope that helps
