    Caballerial

    Switch:
    Can be ridden switch

    A caballerial - or cab - is a fakie 360 buttering trick. It's essentially a switch frontside 360, except you pop it from the nose of your board instead of the tail. It's a style trick more than anything else: nobody does a cab because it's the efficient way around, they do it because the nose pop looks good. The name comes from pro skater Steve Caballero, who originally did it in the half pipe.

    Before you try it

    You want to be able to pop switch frontside 360s easily - that's what gives you enough spin momentum to carry a full cab. You also want a half cab, which is where you learn to get pop out of the nose of your board. The full cab is just those two combined, so if either one is shaky, work on it on its own first.

    A comfortable nollie and confident riding switch make everything here easier.
