I have questions for Cab,

1. How do you feel / deal with the FACT that your name / trick has shaped skateboarding and snowboarding forever?
What you have done will stay with the world forever, do you ever just stop and take a moment to think “WOW” I have changed the world?

2. Expanding on the above, with regards to changing the modern day world, you are up there with Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Shaun White, the dude who invented google…......... you get my drift. Is there something else you wish your name was on, carrying on into the future?

3. Its understandable for teenagers to be fans to the extreme, you have a following that covers generations. Do you find it strange / odd to have 40 something year old guys & girls admiring you and worshipping you like a god?

4. Do you think the original Bones Brigade will get back together for another world tour? I would pay good money and travel vast distances to be there.

5. If you are free after Bowl-a-rama, would you like to come and hang out at Chill Hill for a few days? Five skateparks within 20 mins and a mad private mini ramp for us to session shaka

I remember reading an aussie snowboard mag where Russ Holt ( i believe) was stating that most snow tricks that are called “cab” aren’t actually “cab” unless performed in the halfpipe.

I see people call tricks “cab” whilst hitting a jump all the time;

Wiki “The term “Cab” in snowboarding generally refers to any switch-frontside spin (no matter what the amount of rotation) on any feature (halfpipe, jumps, rails, boxes). For example, a “switch-frontside 1080 double cork” off a jump would be referred to as a “cab 1080 double cork”. The term was originally only applied to a switch-frontside 360 in a halfpipe in which a rider would take off a wall switch, spin 360 degrees frontside, and land on his/her comfortable stance (regular/goofy). Therefore the term “Cab” only applied to tricks in the halfpipe in which rotations were in full 360 increments, such as a “Cab 360” or “Cab 720.” For example, since a switch-frontside 540 would land a rider in the same switch position he/she took off from in the halfpipe, it was not referred to as a “Cab 540” because the rider dide not take off switch, spin frontside, and land in his/her comfortable stance.”
A Half-Cab is a switch-frontside 180 spin.
