Half-Cab: is a fakie ollie 180. In other words, a backwards 180.

Bluntslide: Ledge:When your sliding on your tail and wheels and your over on the ledge/curb with your tail covering the side of the ledge

Rail: When you go over the rail and do a tailslide. I mean when you come up to the rail you ollie(or whatever you do into it) over it and land into a tailslide on the oppisite side you came from.

i'll post a pic in the gallery for you with an example of what one looks like on a ledge.

This should also be in trick help

couldn't have put it better blind... but im jsut gona try to anyways

half cab=fakie 180... fakie is when your rolling backwards. so a half cab is when your rolling backwards and do a 180.

blunt slide=when your back truck clears the obsacle and you slide on the tail... this is pretty much the same for both ledge and rail, being that you dont ever ride on the ledge, and then grind the edge of it. you usually ride on the ground, ollie up and grind the edge or the ledge.

but for the half cab it has to be a fakie ollie witch is where ur rollin backwards and u have a foot on the front so u are doin the same thing as an ollie and to someone who skates regular it will look like a goofy nollie and vise versa

Yep...couldn't have put it better. My half-cabs are now like 6"-12" high.....but all I do...is I ollie backwards a tiny bit (sort of like a frontside shove it)...and rotate. I put my foot more towards the nose than in a normal 180.

phoenix..If you can even land them, thats great. Mine aren't that great...if you can land them, then start jumping higher, and the board will follow!

As for bluntslides, I suck at them. lol.
