How to
Full Cab
The short answer
A full cab is a fakie ollie where you and the board turn a full 360 backside together. You roll away fakie. Roll fakie with the ball of your back foot in the middle of the tail and your front foot just behind the front bolts, straight across and fully on the board. Pop hard, lift the back leg high and throw your shoulders round, and let the board pivot under your front foot.

FAQ
Full Cab
FAQ
What is a full cab?
A fakie ollie with a full 360 backside turn, you and the board together. It starts fakie and you roll away fakie.
What should I learn before a full cab?
The half cab. A full cab is the same turn taken twice as far.
Why is a full cab level 5?
You need a high pop and a full turn with the board still under your feet, so the pop, the shoulders and the front foot all have to work together.
How is a full cab different from a 360 shove-it?
In a full cab your body turns with the board. In a 360 shove-it only the board spins and you stay facing forward.
