Inverted Raley is a kicker-based raley variation. Use the kicker for lift, let the board rise behind and above you, then recover by pulling the handle back toward the hips before the board drops away.
Ride through the kicker tall and centered. Avoid throwing the head early; the trick needs controlled extension first, then a strong pull-down to bring the board back under the body.
Build from raley mechanics, straight kicker airs, and reliable edge release. If the handle drifts away, the recovery becomes late and heavy.
