Halfpipes as in vert ramps or just mini ramps? I do tricks on a 4 foot, 6 foot I'm scared to try hard stuff 8 foot I'll drop in on and that's as high as I go.
Switch, mongo, fakie and nollie.

Actually I have heard of Lib. They make some pretty neat snowboarding merch. Sponsored Scotty Whitlake as well
I have a skateboarding/snowbaording question. I always see the term "cab" used. I have no clue what it is. People who I ask give me such shady answers that I doubt they know what it is either. Some people use it to replace 'switch'. So I ride in switch (riding goof, but my normal stance is normal) into a hit, do a switch 5-0. Would this be a Cab 5-0? That's what the general explination is, but then I see stuff like "half cab", which really mess up the definitions. Anyone have a logical explination to any of this?

Everybodys getting Element decks now. I got one before they were cool.
I think maybe Bam Margera has boosted the sales of Element alot, with Jackass and Viva La Bam

A half cab is a fakie backside 180 and a caberial(sp) is a fakie backside 360. That's the only cab things I can think of. It's not switch though. So No a switch 5-0 is not a cab 5-0.

So if I spin a switch backside 900, that's also called a cab 9?

Whoa.
What's the difference between fakie and switch then?

Hmm. I'm no skater, but I see both terms used the same way in snowboarding, where riding "standing your natural way at the front of the board" is impossible. So now I have no clue which one is used, and how it is used in the term "cab" (associated with rotations) in snowboarding. No wonder I never got a straight answer.

Yeah, I got that bit. Now I just someone to explain it to me how it applies to snowboarding.
So cab 360 is fakie backside (standing normal, riding closer to the front of the deck, nollie style).

My point exactly. Whatev, I never use it. And you sound more pro if you tell someone you spun a switch backside rodeo 5, than if you say you spun cab rodeo 5.

If you really want to sound like a pro say you pulled of a SS BS TS.

That's a switch stance backside tailslide.
That was on Cky2k, I think. One of the Cky movies.

when it flips does it land inbetween your legs?
Some peopld do that cause they're turning their shoulders. It takes a little while to get used to being sideways.

Practice sucking your knees into your chest. That's also how you get high ollies.
I was able to kickflip over 2 skateboards easily back when I skated. Now I have trouble ollieing up curbs.
