Raley Help

[bluebomber]

Getting great air and getting extended but when I go to pull the rope back to my knees it throws me into a spin. Any suggestions besides wear a helmet and keep trying?

i'm working on them too but just make sure when your pulling use equal force with both hands and pull to the center of your pelvic bone. may not help but it helped me

im not sure but i think the reason why you are going into a spin may be because of how you are leaving the wake. just make sure your leaning back with your whole body more straight up and down than a normal wake jump and make sure your weight is even over both feet. it should be pretty easy to pull it down once your in the raley position just pull straight into your waist. Are your raley's straight across when your in the air or is one tip of the board way higher than the other tip?

I don't normally do scare stories but this one is quite entertaining now that I've recovered.

When doing a raley my hand kind of slipped of the handle and I then tried to grab it (this was all one kind of clumsy motion). By now I was clearly about to eat stuff so I should have bailed and braced! As I went down my arm slipped through the handle, due to the clumsy-ness above, and as I hit the water the handle yanked away.

The pull dislocated my shoulder and ripped the pectorial mussle away from the bone!

Now that hurt!!!!
