Freestyle Tricktip 28: Half Cab Impossible

Thanks to a certain Mr Mullen, this trick is one of the rolling tricks that almost every new freestyler wants to learn. Although it has a tendency to hit me in the shin when I'm not paying enough attention, it's a fun one to break out every so often. Give it a go!
If you want a bit more help and info, check out the in-depth breakdown and photo sequence on the website at freestyletricktips.com/imposs... - but it should go without saying that you shouldn't even try the half cab impossible without being able to do the stationary nosehook impossible. The breakdown for that one can be found at freestyletricktips.com/imposs...
Anyway. Like, share, subscribe, do whatever you please. If there's any trick in particular you'd like a tip for, drop a comment below and we'll see what we can do. And if you appreciate these tricktips, please buy us a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/fstricks to help keep this project going!

Thanks for this.

No worries. Hope it helps!

These videos are superb, and the level of theory you explain tricks with is much appreciated. A lot of problems ive run into learning are with microadjustments of foot placement (obviously) so it helps to hear this detail. Could you make a video about pogo or 50/50 to rail?

[@FreestyleTricktips]

Glad to hear the tips are helping. A lot of tricks have one or two small adjustments which make them work, so I try to highlight that sort of thing as much as possible. In all honesty, it's been a long, long time since I've done a regular 50-50 to rail, but I'll see if I can relearn them for you.

Besides practicing the nose hook impossible first before doing a half-cab impossible any other tricks I should practice beforehand.

[@FreestyleTricktips]

Hm, good question. I'd probably suggest anything that involves spinning 180º and rolling away would be a help, but the obvious choice - fakie bigspins - might lead to you scooping the half cab impossible like a shuvit out of habit. I would say half cab fingerflips could be a good option, but those are actually considerably harder/more awkward than these impossibles are! As such, the only thing I can really suggest is endovers. That's always a good thing to work on anyway - even after 20 years of skating, it's important to go back to basics and make sure you're still getting full 180s, fluid movement, and are able to roll away cleanly at any point in the sequence from time to time.

@@FreestyleTricktips alright thnx for the help also is the tracker flipside good for impossible variations. Here the dimensions: 7.25" x 26.5" Wheelbase: 10.5" Nose: 5.75" Tail: 5.75" Singlekick, non-concave

[@FreestyleTricktips]

@@gamesincharacter5106 It should be. Square tail = a more stable pop, short length = easier to get vertical.
