[Im having trouble stomping my landings on my Raley attempts. Ive only been trying them for three days and im getting plenty of height and the board is coming behind me just fine. When i land the board is scecthing out from under me and on a couple attempts i have gotten into good poistion in the air but at the bottom of the Raley its like i start spinning into a 180 which wood be cool if that were what i was trying to do. Any help where should my eyes be focused when i land?[/b]

youre probably taking off tail-heavy. If youre like I was, me telling you to keep your weight evenly distributed isnt going to do much at this point.... Youll eventually get to the point where you can land stargazed raleys. Then when you get comfortable with the trick, you'll start launching them straight Mr. Green

I think he means lookin up so upside down ..... but I've been told that right when u leave the wake fix your eyes on the back of the boat so u keep your head straight and your body will follow ... that should help keep u oriented and not rotate in the air ... thn just pull the rope hard straight to your knees and land edgeing away from the boat
