it is a snowboarding/skateboarding trick, why are skiers using it?

'Over time, most people experience life involving love, suffering, compassion and an unspeakable drive for something new...For me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and it encompasses everything, everyday I'm out there.'

^to us it does. But it was originally a specific trick in skateboarding, hence the point the author of this thread is trying to make

'can you read what that says?'

'donna simma?'

'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'

'simma, donna?'

'that's right now Simma down na!
 
caballarial (sp?) steve caballero. fakie 360. half cab- fakie 180. cab in anyother sport just refers to a switch spin.

cab is a good term for skiing cause it's fakie spinning, but actually we cant go switch in ski in the meanning of the other sports.

'Moi c'que j'propose c qu'on envoye chier l'monde, on leur paye une criss de traite'
 
from what i can detremine a cab is a switch takeoffwhile spinning unnaturally..right?, but it isnt a skiing term so dont use it

'Over time, most people experience life involving love, suffering, compassion and an unspeakable drive for something new...For me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and it encompasses everything, everyday I'm out there.'

it means switch frontside i belive for snowboarding andd the such, but i like saying it instead of switch, who the hell cares if it's a skateboarding and snowboarding term

b/c we dont a frontside and backside direction to spin, we have left and right, hence it doesnt make sense to use it in skiing

the cab is a cabellereo....its a fakie nollie f/s 360. yea

there's a reason its called snowboarding......it's snowing!!!

-dumbass xgames anouncer

now the only thing to make my life complete is to turn ur face into a toilet seat.....im gonna piss on it.
 
fakie 360 not fakie nollie 360 and there is not a single term from snow/skate that fit well with skiing.

'Moi c'que j'propose c qu'on envoye chier l'monde, on leur paye une criss de traite'
 
and to the guy that is saying that we dont have frontside or backside, if we translate it, when we spin to the left, its frontside, when we spin to the right, backside(if we compare to the regular stance)

'Moi c'que j'propose c qu'on envoye chier l'monde, on leur paye une criss de traite'
 
yo, has anyone actually answered the question because so far it sounds like no one knows what they are talking about

 
frontside and backside do not exist in skiing no matter how cool you think it sounds. Spinning natural and unnatural are exactly the same, just opposite ways....obviously ones harder than the other,etc, but frontside and backside only apply to sports where you are riding sideways aka skating and snowboarding, not skiing. The term cab therefore should not be used in skiing, because we cant differentiate between front and backside spins, so cab isnt the right term. It shouldnt really be used for snowbarding either, since in order to do a real 'caballerial' you would have to start with a fakie ollie, in other words lift your leading truck after your following truck. 99 percent of the time in snowboarding, they just use it to mean switch frontside, because they hardly ever actually 'fakie ollie', they just switch ollie.. If you know anything about skateboarding youll know what im talking about (if i make any sense)

 
when you see a trick, you can't say if it's natural or not, but you can say if it's b/s or f/s or call it like you want(right side and leftside) i dont care

'Moi c'que j'propose c qu'on envoye chier l'monde, on leur paye une criss de traite'
 
the original meaning of cab came from steve cabellero and ment a fakie 360, so a switch 3 on skis is a cab

backside frontside does exist in skiing, when ur on a rail spinning off you can do fs or bs 270s 450s... ect.

It's retarded to say cab because in skateboarding cab means fakie spins not switch spins. If you skate you know the difference between the two. There is no such thing a skiing fakie.

I think rails in general are just a phase. - Anthony Boronowski
 
well you're even more retard cause fakie in skateboarding is when you use your tail as your nose and vice versa, wich is the samething as switch in ski. the switch of skateboarding is impossible, except if you want to ski with your leg crossed.

'Moi c'que j'propose c qu'on envoye chier l'monde, on leur paye une criss de traite'
 
its just different in skiing than skateboarding, such as offsides is different in soccer than in football. when i say cab 5 or cab 3 ect. i mean just a switch 5 or a switch 3. well thats my view of it

 
i do high speed nollie 180s over rollers...its sick...or nollie lipslide onto a rail...

When in doubt...FSI

...fuckin send it

work to ski...but only if you ski to work. The simple equation to skibumming 101
 
Arsenic apparently you don't skate or have no knowledge of it. In skateboarding, where the term cab originates from, cab is riding regular but vbackwards. Whereas switch is riding the opposite way you normally ride. And Nollie is riding switch backwards. So either it's switch or cab but it can't be both. We muct make up our minds and come to us a universal term throughout the ski community. Just kiding I really could care less.

THE TRUTH:

switch frontside is CAB: snow and skate

so someone regular, normally spins frontside(left) more comfortably than backside(right) but it they're riding switch then frontside is now spinning right and switch backside is spinning left. but technically there is no frontside in skiing because you face forward(except on rails) and a 720 isn't techinically harder depending on which way you spin it only adds diversity

cant expect everyone to see shit the way i see it cant expect anyone to be dope the way i be it.

I expected the rocky mountains to be alot rockier, that john denver is full of shit!
 
See that's the funny thing, is we won't make up our minds. And this thread won't solve the argument. Personally I think it's cool that you can call the same 540 a cab 540, a fakie 540, or a switch 540, and everyone knows what you're talking about.

Q: How many NS.com members does it take to answer a simple question?

A: 10. One to answer, three to say 'How fucking stupid are you?', three to say 'This has already been asked a thousand times', and three to say 'Who the fuck cares anyway?'
 
in my opinion we need to loose the terms cab, frontside, backside, natural, and unnatural. like has been said before there is no cab in skiing. the dude above explained this. as too did he explain front and backside. as for natty unnatty, there shouldn't be a natural way. sure it is harder for most people to spin one way over the other, but if we want this sport to progress then spinning both ways is a must. in snowboarding if somebody doesn't spin both ways they won't go very far in the scene of trying to become pro. it should be the same in skiing. AND, when describing a trick if you say unnaty 7, how do you know what that actually is. it coiuld br right side or left side. this is why we should just say right side or left side, not natty unnatty.

Basicly we really need to loose natural and unnatural before it is a main stream term while at the same time kids don't have a natural and unnatural way of spinning, cause they started spinning both ways from the start.

i think the samething for natural and unnatural, but cab stay true in skiing, but it's useless. i dont care that we use the name of different sport, but we shouldn't compare them, cause it's too much different.

caballariel is a fakie frontside 3 in the halfpipe on a skateboard.. then the term half-cab was used for a fakie frontside 180 on a skateboard on the ground.. i dunno how the fuck it got to snowboarding.. probably some stupid x-games announcer.. but it still makes sense if they are switch and frontside.. it doesn't make any sense whatsoever if you are talking about skiing.. this is purely a word stolen from snowboarding, which was stolen from skateboarding..

Smoking pot leads to uhh... I forget.

50 nuts in your mothafuckin' mouth

What's with all the hate?

 
because lets see it just makes things easier, like intead of say whoa a switch unattural 5 you just say cab 5. and you sound 'hip' and 'grovy' and 'in' when you say it.

'And Nollie is riding switch backwards'

what a great point......

'mute, japan, rodeo, misty...fuck the list goes on..we copied all those, so why not cab?'

i just thought i'd post that...cause it is so true

Jeff

Why shame on me?

And to you other guy. Yes a nollie is an ollie with your nose but it is done switch whereas an fakie ollie is done with your nose but skating regular. Stop arguing with me i've been skating for years and years I know what I'm talking about.

Heres the only way we can have the steezey backside/frontside trick label in skiing: Backside=taking off BACKwards. frontside =takeing off FRONTwards. then we defintly look like dumbasses.

------------
 
ollie - regular stance, pop of the tail

nollie - regular stance, pop of the nose

switch ollie- opposite of regular, pop of the tail (which is really your nose)

fakie ollie - opposite of regular, pop of the nose (which is really your tail)

frontside - start SIDEWAYS and spin so your front is going down the hill first

backside - start SIDEWAYS and spin so your back is going down the hill first

(frontside and backside are different than this when you are going ON TO a rail, ex, FS boardslide)

~BDP 2004~
 
cab in snowbording=switch frontside translate that to skiing and it equals switch unattural. who cares what we call it, its sweet either way.

how can you say their is no cab in skiing? cab is a made up word resulting in what ever u want it to mean.
