Raley is the base move for many advanced air tricks. Load a wide progressive edge, stand tall through release, extend the board behind you, then pull the handle to the hips to bring the board back underneath.

Keep hips high and the handle close before takeoff. Once extended, stay long for a moment, spot the water, and recover with a deliberate pull instead of collapsing at the waist.

Use strong edge control and repeatable landings before trying variations like Krypt, Blind Judge, 313, Hoochie Glide, or S-Bend.
