Look man, I think naming a trick in just one stance a certain way "like half-cab" or merlin twist (switch 180 ff impossible) is dumb, it makes the whole trick name stuff confusing, but I understand my opinion means nothing. So here's a clip of Steve talking about it, at 12:26 minutes I think. [VIDEO] He also has said it multiple times, people ask him that shit on Instagram all the time.

I've heard both used. Also, Steve Caballero acknowledges frontside cabs [VIDEO], so I think it's fair to say frontside half cabs are a thing.

not correct. Steve Caballero will correct you if he catches you saying it wrong: [VIDEO]

ollie on transitions do not require you to pop your tail like a street ollie. you can bonk your wheels off the coping or just fly off of it. The higher the ramp the less you need to try and pop your tail because you will just fall away from the ramp and land on the flat bottom. little ramps like 2-4 feet will require you to use your tail to pop. if you dont do that you will just hang up because no vert makes you land

Nollie switch isn’t a thing, it’s fakie. >Being good at something doesn’t make you an expert on nomenclature I mean, Steve and Tony and bunch of other guys pretty much invented most of the tricks (when it comes to spins and what not) so that gives it a quite a lot more weight than just ”being good at something” [LINK] > The original trick is a fakie backside 360 ollie > The Caballerial can also be done frontside (Fro
