To avoid a threadjack, please explain a half cab for dummys

Can someone please explain this http://forums.wakeboarder.com/viewtopic.php?p=1173535#1173535

An explanation or vid would be great as this sounds like a fun move to learn.

Switch 180.

In that other thread I'm assuming he means to edge out on his usual toeside of the wake and not actually edge on your toes. He has you confused.

Ok, so HS switch out which would be your reg. TS then 180 to reg. HS back in?? then half cab back to switch?

It's simply a Switch HS 180. Approach the wake switch HS then 180 to regular TS

Sorry about that. I misspoke. You would need to edge out heelside, then slide a 180. Then you would cut back at the wake switch heelside, and pop a one wake 180. Sorry for confusion.

The other fun part about this trick is it can be linked to your regular wake to wake. As soon as you land your wake to wake, you would be in a position to hop to fakie and hit the half cab. I like half cabs, they feel kewl.

Yup.. thats what I thought you meant. I do like em' myself too. Are they still called a "half-cab" if you take em' all the way.. w2w?
