    So do you have to be able to do a particular trick before you can fakie it or am I allowed to fakie my double front flip decade?

    Half Cab is fakie up and back in fakie only on a ramp. On flat or gaps you go in fakie and out forwards.

    Full Cab is fakie up and back in forwards on a ramp. On flat or gaps you go in fakie and out fakie.

    Clear now ?

    Ah yes, I never I think of it terms of anything other than ramps where it came from the Caballerial.

    Up until that point they were just fakie 180’s on the flat, they got tagged half-cabs sometime after…

    Is (h)is BMX magic? Why doesn’t he have to pedal backwards when going backwards?

    cos he’s got a coaster* hub innit onnit.

    innit.

    (*magic bmx hub with a clutch type thing, that doesn’t engage the freewheel until the rear sprocket is turning)

    the ‘cab’ thing originally came from skateboarding didnit? – any switch frontside spin is a ‘cab’ spin – ie, a ‘cab 540’.

    named after a bloke called caballero…(?)

    Thanks ahwhiles. Certainly looks like magic to me. Pain in the backside to trackstand though, surely?
