## 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.

## Where your feet go

- **Regular:** Rolling fakie. Ball of the back foot in the middle of the tail. Front foot just behind the front bolts, straight across, fully on the board. Pop hard, lift the back leg high and throw your shoulders round; the board pivots under your front foot.
- **Goofy:** Rolling fakie. Ball of the back foot in the middle of the tail. Front foot just behind the front bolts, straight across, fully on the board. Pop hard, lift the back leg high and throw your shoulders round; the board pivots under your front foot.

## Step by step

Each step is a part of the trick Skate AI scores when you film a try.

1. **Set up:** Roll fakie. Ball of the back foot in the middle of the tail. Front foot just behind the front bolts, straight across, fully on the board.
2. **Pop:** Pop hard and high, and lift the back leg.
3. **Turn:** Throw your shoulders round hard at the pop and keep your weight over the front foot so the board pivots under it.
4. **Land:** Land over the bolts, knees bent, and roll away fakie.

## Troubleshooting

### You only turn 180

**Why:** The shoulders do not go round hard enough at the pop.

**Fix:** Throw your shoulders round hard at the pop.

### The board stays behind you

**Why:** Your weight is off the front foot.

**Fix:** Keep your weight over the front foot so the board pivots under it.

### You do not get the height

**Why:** The pop is not hard enough to give you time for a full turn.

**Fix:** Pop hard and lift the back leg high.

### You land in the wrong stance

**Why:** You are stopping short of a full turn.

**Fix:** Keep turning until the board and your feet have come round fully.

## Drill

Get the half cab consistent first, then 10 full cabs with a bigger pop and harder shoulders.

## 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.
