The indy glide is a great way to take your standard Raley and put a little extra on it for style points. Chad Sharpe's got one of the best glides in the business, so let him show you how to dial in your indy glide with this video instructional, and take it to blind when you get comfortable...

Roll to Blind
1. We call this an "up"-style roll to blind because you're passing the handle early on the way up. Combine this with a Mexican back roll rotation to get the handle easier. Try to ride up toward the wake instead of away for the right rotation...

Indy tantrum to blind
1. For this trick, make sure you spot the wake on the landing side before you pull the handle to spin blind. Spinning too early will cause you to fall back over your heels as you hit the water...

Raley to Blind
1. I see a lot of riders learn this trick at the cable park, where the ride seems slower and more forgiving. If you don't have access to a cable, try to take a short approach from the wake and learn it with a smaller cut...

This is the kind of trick you see the pros throwing in between their huge tricks and think to yourself, "I can do that." Then you try it and get worked. Well, maybe it's time to try it again but now with a few tips that will help you make it happen...

The tantrum to blind is a real stylie move to add to your bag of tricks after you dial in your regular tantrums. Like a tantrum, you get your speed and pop by edging outside, flattening off and changing your edge at the wake...

You would think a simple-looking trick like a blind 180 would be one of the first things you learn. But a lot of people don't even try them. I actually learned one well after I was doing inverted moves...

Toeside blind spins are probably the hardest spins you can do on a wakeboard. The main reason is that on spins you usually try to use the handle to initiate rotation; but in this case, you've almost gone past the point of the handle being able to help you...

The Raley to blind starts out easy but obviously gets difficult toward the end. Although it looks like a power move that you just need to hang onto, finesse is actually the key to landing it...

Begin by taking a short approach into the wake from just outside the trough, like you're going to do a regular back roll...

Again, you want to have a good wake-to-wake tantrum to do this move. Do a normal tantrum, and as you're coming down and spotting the landing, move your head and chest toward the opposite shore...

Practicing blindside 180s is a great set-up for this trick and remember: The rotation to blind is done at the very end. Now, set the trick as if throwing a normal tantrum by taking a wide progressive backside approach with more weight on your front foot then rear...
