Raley

About this trick

The Raley is a classic extreme sports move where the board is fully extended behind and above your head at peak jump height, creating an almost horizontal body position. It's a power and commitment move — the board leaves its natural position entirely and must be swung back down for landing. One of the most spectacular tricks in the air.

Key tips

1. 1

   The raley position requires you to be pulling hard on the wing — it's the wing tension that allows the board to kick out behind

2. 2

   Let the board swing back naturally as the wing pull is released — don't force it back

3. 3

   Your whole body should be nearly horizontal at peak — arms extended on wing, legs extended behind

4. 4

   Land with weight forward — the Raley body position tends to pitch you back on landing
