Half Cab and Full Cab

Welcome back to my blog. This week I will be talking about the half cab and full cab. These are two very fun tricks and are generally pretty easy.

The half cab is a fakie backside 180 and is actually a learning step towards backside 180’s. The half cab is very fun although personally I prefer the fakie frontside 180. I feel that the momentum of rolling backwards makes it easier to do a fakie frontside 180. I like other variations of the Half cab, like the Half Cab flip and full cab. The Half Cab just feels like a slight pivot on your front foot rolling fakie, and to me doesn’t feel like a trick. It is a trick though, and it is pretty fun to do. Rolling fakie is fun and going back to regular with this trick feels safe, just like a front or back 180. The best part about the half cab though is learning the full cab, which is a solid and really fun addition to your trick pool. Go view my blog about the 180’s for more help with the half cab, but just practice it for a while and you will have it down pretty quick.

The full cab has to be one of the most fun tricks to learn. The full cab is a fakie backside 360, and is moderately easy to learn. The biggest thing with the full cab is the pivot because it helps you get down the feeling of rotating 360 degrees backwards. The backside 360 is a difficult trick, a lot harder than than the full cab for some reason. The full cab will need you to get very good at the half cab. Like I said earlier, the half cab is really easy and doesn’t even feel like a trick. The full cab is really fun to do off of curbs and ledges and looks really nice. The best part about the full cab though is that you don’t even have to do a full 360 because of the pivot. The pivot from the 180 to the 360 is super weird and takes time to learn, but eventually you won’t even need it.
