Switch Frontside 180 — Park Jump
GLOSSARY
Starting switch, the rider spins half a rotation frontside on a jump and lands riding forward, keeping the landing in view throughout.
Context and distinction
This is often called a Half Cab on jumps; the Bible keeps the descriptive name with the alias.

Switch Frontside 180: Editorial Application Draft
A switch frontside half-turn returning to main stance.
Preparation and setting
Switch straight-air control and repeatable main-stance 180s.
How to do it — editorial adaptation
- Establish controlled switch entry on a familiar feature.
- Coordinate a modest frontside release with takeoff.
- Maintain landing awareness through the half-turn.
- Align the board for main-stance contact.
- Absorb and ride away without additional pivoting.
Learn it
Establish the switch approach independently; practise a modest half-turn before adding grabs.
Errors and corrections
Uncontrolled entry: return to switch straight airs. Overrotation: reduce the release.
Cues
Switch departure; main-stance finish.
Successful attempt
The half-turn is completed in the air.
Evidence boundary
S10 confirms departure/landing stance and landing visibility, but gives no detailed switch-FS edge sequence. The steps above are editorial coaching synthesis and require review; no edge variant is claimed.
Aliases
Half Cab/Cab usage varies with historical convention and pop end.
