Just did a comp at the weekend and gotted pipped by some dude doing a 911. Decided I gotta do one now. I gotta solid raley so I reckon it should be a piece of cake! Anybody got any advice?

Yes, when you leave the wake, if your are goofy tilt your head to the left. I like to put my chin on my shoulder. if you are regular look to your right. The moving of your head looking to one side will cause your body to rotate to a 911. All you have to do then is look back straight and pull back down when your ready. Dont look the other way though, you'll go into an s-bend like id id one time, sucked...

Look at your back foot.

There is a little more to a 911 than just looking back. Come in like a raley, but load more of your front foot than you would with the raley. as soon as you pop up look back as they said and really twist your hips backside to get into the correct 911 position. From there, pull back down as a normal raley. the more you twist your hips the better the 911 will be. I also personally think it looks better when your legs arent all the way locked out like on raley.

Thanks, so it's just a backside twist on the raley. Do I have to look behind me to make the trick legit or can I look forward through the whole trick?

so on a 911 you dont actually complete the twist you bring it back down the same way you twisted or do you continue the twist? sorry if that sounded confusing but im confused

you twist backside then come back to normal and land like from a raley.
