How to Do a Half-Cab on a Skateboard

Video Transcript

"JUSTIN VAN ZANDT: My name is Justin from the YMCA on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip, I'm going to show you how to do a half cab which is a fakie 180, and so you're going to start by rolling backwards, roll fakie because that's what your half cab is. It's a fakie 180. So, you start rolling backwards and you want to put your feet in an ollie position so your back foot is going to be in the middle of the tail and your front foot is going to be just below the bolts, and when you start to pop, you're going to turn your shoulders again. You're going to turn your shoulders in a 180 and pop at the same time and it's going to send your board in the 180. And you're going to turn the rest of the way and spot your landing and come down and make sure you're centered on your board so you don't slip backward or fall forward and just land on your bolts and roll. And you're going to throw your shoulders and pop, so that you turn 180. So, you're rolling backwards and you pop and turn your shoulders and that will send your board in that backside 180."
