skiersupremeif I'm not mistaken, a cab is when you come in switch, and do a spin on axis.
jensenOk, 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.
K-Dot.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.
jensenNo it isn't. Cab is just any switch spin. Once again, see my above post and video. Textbook cab 7 shifty
loganschnurSo you're saying that a switch 2 on could also be called a cab 2?
jensen@2:58 - still on of the best cab 7 shiftys ever done, no less 10 years ago.
