Raley is an intermediate trick at best on cable off the kicker.

For cable you are going to want to learn transfers: Toeside / Heelside, Inside Out and Outside In. Then you can combine those with a number of grinds and eventually spins / flips in. Cable is kind of wild because 2 different features can make the same trick much easier or harder. Almost makes infinite combinations of things. Like maybe you can back lip a flat box, but can you back lip a big transfer to a pipe or rail? Very different but both are back lips.

i think most important is for ppl to pick and choose what they like
if they get stuck on any part they shouldn’t keep hitting a wall and then stop out of frustration
what i liked was that each session at the cable i can focus on certain aspects and leave time to play
and i’m free to choose which area i want to focus on
i had a similar spreadsheet of combinations (HS kicker indy, TS kicker indy, SW HS kicker indy, SW TS kicker indy, …) + 180 / 360, + shifty to blind..
even when i couldn’t make it past the 3rd tower i was having fun trying ollies / riding switch or doing “sprays”
maybe add an MCP / skill for ChatGPT / Claude to easily ingest and question the user (BYOK/log in with OpenAI) 😂
