"JOSHUA BLANKENSHIP: Hi, my name is Joshua Blankenship with Expert Village, and today I'm going to teach you how to do a frontside half cab onto a curb. So, first thing you need to do is get your half cabs on good, pop them high, and find yourself a curb, such as this one right here, and then you just go ahead and try to frontside half cab up it. The trick is, you gotta pop it early and suck up your legs high, that way you get a good half cab and you don't bump into the curb when you pop it. So before you do that, you might want to go ahead and Ollie it just to get a feel for it, but you gotta pop it earlier than you do an Ollie. So, maybe try to do an Ollie where you pop about six inches earlier then that'll help you get the timing for it. Okay, so once you're popping your Ollie early at the curb, go and try the frontside half cab up it. That's how you do a half cab up a curb."
