The half cab is a fakie 180 ollie that can be performed flatland or vertical, like on a vert ramp or in a pool. It is basically half of a Caballerial, or a full cab, which was invented by and named after Steve Caballero in 1981.
A seemingly simple trick, it is not as easy to do as it sounds at first. Good ollie skills are definitely required. Go forward (or backward) fakie, bend down as if you’re going to ollie, but wind your upper torso opposite to the direction of your intended half cab. Pop up and unwind your shoulders, bringing your legs and board with you in a 180 degree turn. Land in the same direction you were going originally, but now you’re looking in the opposite direction. Ride away and bask in the glory of all the jealous onlookers.
