What is a "cab" 900 in snowboarding?

Answer 1

ride into it switch.

so if u regularly ride regular ...you ride into the jump or w/e goofy

if u ride goofy....then you ride reg.

so ... cab 900 = ride switch + 2.5 rotations

Answer 2

The term Cab is shorterned from Cabellereil which is a trick invented by old school vert skater Steve Cabellero. The original trick was like a backwards 360 so you would ride into the pipe straight and if you ride regular you would spin to your left if you ride goofy you would spin to your right. The trick doesent have to be done switch but say for a cab 360 if you didnt ride into it switch you would always land switch, and most people tend to ride into it switch as its easier than landing switch. A Cab 900 is just a 900 degrees Cabellerial. Hope this helps, Good luck.

Answer 3

Mel has it right!  Hit the jump switch, spin 2 1/2 times, ride out regular.

Answer 4

Ride into the jump switch. Spin front-side off the jump. (front side switch ends up being the same as your normal backside rotation.)  So you ride in switch (opposite or backward of your normal stance) and spin front-side (spinning front-side is what makes this a cab spin, if you spun switch backside it would be called a switch backside spin.) You spin two 360's and a 180 so all in all its 2.5 rotations. 360 + 360 + 180 = 900 Land in your normal stance and ride away.
