180 right on the lip of a jump.

Ahall does it in magma and off the top of my head Anti does one in Rob a bank to get rich
 
I don't think it's really called anything.. It's not a nb or tb because there's no buttering. Technically it should just be a separate trick in a line altogether.

For the sake of naming it though, maybe it should be like a pre-180. Or maybe a pre-revert. A Pre-vert!

Correct, it’s called a pre-180 or a revert. Tokyo drift would be sliding but not completely rotating 180 degrees

1st - No

2nd - I hate when skiers say cab. Like no dude, stop. Just say switch. Some ppl seem to think cab is just switch unnat. No, just say switch unnat then. This isn’t skateboarding.

Fakie is technically correct though

Fakie and switch are for the two different stances going switch in skating, but in skiing we only have one stance. We also don't have any tricks that require the term fakie that you couldn't just use switch for. Also sounds obnoxious when people tell me to go fakie IMO.

fakie is riding backwards with the tail facing in the direction of travel.

That's what Wikipedia says

That actually could easily apply to skiing, I guess.

Maybe its up to preference but it seems that the norm is "switch" which makes plenty of sense as well.
 
It's weird because in skiing you cant really "ride" fakie because you're just riding what we call switch...

...but once you do a trick (riding switch but trick popped off the nose) would technically count as a fakie ollie?

That’s another trick name in skiing that’s always inconsistent. If you’re riding switch/fakie whatever u wanna call it and you pop off of your noses, is it a switch/fakie nollie? Or switch/fakie ollie? I’ve heard both in slvsh games or in real life

That's what Wikipedia says

"In Freestyle Skiing the act of descending the slope backwards is referred to as "switch" rather than "fakie"".

Copy-and-pasted from the same wiki article. I would personally always call it switch just because there is really no way to distinguish them with skiing. I would also call it a switch nollie if you are going backwards and pop with your tips but I could definitely see that going either way

Heres my opinion:

switch in skateboarding is not like switch in skiing because riding switch on a board just means you have opposite stance and has nothing to do with going backwards. Fakie on a board however, is going backwards but with your regular stance. (Don’t confuse nollie with going backwards. Nollie is technically riding unnat.)

A fakie ollie on a skateboard is off the tails, so a switch ollie on skis should be off the tails also.

Popped off the tail of the board but traveling the opposite direction so it appears like a regular nollie***

I think this may be what is confusing people?

I agree with this I just wish everyone followed this
