"JOSHUA BLANKENSHIP: Hi. My name is Joshua Blankenship with Expert Village, and today I'm going to teach you how to "pop" a frontside half cab. So the pop for a half cab is pretty similar to the pop for an Ollie. The only difference is that you're rolling in the opposite direction when you pop it and you're going to be spinning your shoulders around. So, you just want to be sure that you pop all the way through the board and pop it hard and it will get you up in the air. Good way to learn how to pop it is you pop the board, catch it with your hand. It's pretty much how you want to get it up in the air. That's how you pop a frontside half cab."
