Half-Cab

Do a fakie (riding backwards) Frontside 180 ollie.

Backside Halfcab

Alright, before you try the trick, know how to ollie, etc. like I say everytime. What a halfcab is, is a fakie (riding backwards) 180. Backside, believe it or not, is turning towards your front in a 180. So turn so that your front foot is heading towards the front of you, not the back of you.

What to do is to ride backwards at a comfortable pace, then hit your tail, jump and spin in the previously indicated direction while rotating your legs. Your body should be leading and your legs should be coming right along with you.

The Frontside Half-cab Flip

To perform a frontside halfcab flip, you must first be able to do frontside flips fairly well. Place your feet in a normal stance for a frontside flip. It may be easier if you put your front foot farther up. This will help with balance. Do this trick the same way you would for a frontside flip only lnstead of landing fakie land in your regular stance.

Backside Half-cab Flip

1. Start out by riding in fakie position with a good amount of speed.
2. The ball of your back foot should be on the edge of the tail and your front foot should be in the middle of the board with the front half of your foot on just like a varial flip.
3. Crouch down to get power but make sure you don't lose your balance.
4. Slap your tail down and bring your back foot under you to make it spin 180. At the same time kick your front foot off the side just enough to get it to spin. Remember, when you make the board flip, try to keep your feet above the board and don't flip it too hard.
5. During all of that, spin yourself backside 180. It's very important that you turn all the way 180.
6. When you and the board are finished spinning, land and keep going.
