A switch 7 with a shifty....

AKA go backwards, do 2 spins, and twist your skis back and forth once.

Hopefully that shows up, I still don't understand this new video embed.

if I'm not mistaken, a cab is when you come in switch, and do a spin on axis.

Ok, history lesson. Steve Caballero inveted the "caballero" on the skateboard, ie. a fakie 360. Evolved in a "half-cab", ie a fakie 180. Snowboarders took the term to describe any switch frontside spin. Skiers took the term to describe any switch spin. The term cab has lost a big part of its meaning because there is (in skiing) no criteria for how you pop and what direction you spin. It is simply the same thing as switch.

If you don't understand what a fakie 360 on a skateboard means, that is for another post. In encompasses how you pop your board and what direction you spin. Snowboard kept the spin direction but lost the pop. Skiing lost it all except the switch part.

Sorry, I should have clarified that the caballero is fakie FRONTSIDE 360 and half-cab is fakie FRONTSIDE 180.

I've always thought that cab meant switch and unnatural spin. If you're just taking off switch or just spinning unnatural then you just call them exactly that but cab is the combination of the two.

So OP, a cab 7 shifty is taking off switch, spinning unnaturally 720 degrees and either doing a shifty in the middle of the spin or doing a late one when you land.

No it isn't. Cab is just any switch spin. Once again, see my above post and video. Textbook cab 7 shifty

So you're saying that a switch 2 on could also be called a cab 2?

I would say that cab is switch unnatural. So a cab 7 shifty would be, switch unnatural 720 with a shifty

loganschnurSo you're saying that a switch 2 on could also be called a cab 2?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.
