Sup....im having trouble bringing my board back down on my raley attempts. Everytime i try to pull the rope in it seems that i pull myself into a front flip or dive. If anyone has pointers or tips i would appreciate it.

You want to pull the rope back down towards your knees. But you need line tension to do that. YOu also need to control your body with your core.

Practice them on a tramp if you can. Lot less painful and you can get more done quickly.

You need to cut alot harder when you are closer to the wake IMO, that will give you the needed tension when you are in the air.

I realize not everybody can afford a $50K wake specific boat, but you may want to try that with a wake. Props for trying though, takes nad.

I thought he had enough air and landed in the flats. I think it's more a matter of having the line tension when it's time to pull down. I can only do them on the tramp (i.e. me no expert) but if you don't have the tension when your at full extension then it's a lot harder to pull your legs down.

wow, it's been a while since I've seen somebody eat it like that.

I really have no idea..but i think the boat might've been going too fast..

props.

progressive cut and wait fo the pop. more you wait, more pop you got, so more time to bring it back.

try few on a trampoline and you'll be fine

you're not snapping out the back very quicky. you need to get laid out faster so you have more time to pull it under. Alos, look at the boat the whole time. Your chest and head should be pointing forward, not down.
