indy 360 - maybe switch depending on the above question
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 3:22 PM EST
Kashikis,
Good question. I'm regular-footed. That impacts the name of the trick.
I'd give you $5000 for picking that up but then you had to go and insult me by saying 360.

Summary of hints so far:
1. No one has gotten the rotation correct.
2. I'm regular-footed (will be full-time goofy next year due to knee problems)
3. Has nothing to do with human cloning.

Glory, I've never landed a FS Invert 7 (aka McTwist) but i tore my rotator cuff and knocked myself out trying.

Not a rodeo.
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 4:19 PM EST
.. and definitely not a 5
If nobody has rotation correct yet you are saying this is a 900?
I highly doubt it first off followed by the fact that there is only just 2 turns in that picture definately not 2 and a half
Relic
February 25 2005 4:27 PM EST
I have blow up the pic and if this isn't a 720 then I am blind. It looks like a fs 720 grab or a switch fs 720
I'm no expert, but the key frame seems to be the third. The orientation of the board seems out of place compared to the second and fourth exposure. Does that help anyone?
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 4:31 PM EST
From the angle of the pic, you can't see the kicker, or the direction i was going before the take off (goofy or regular) but you can make a pretty logical guess by looking at my arms on the first picture and the direction of my board on the second.

[EG] Almuric
February 25 2005 5:08 PM EST
It's not indy, he's not grabbing the board anywhere. It's just a plain old 900, looks like. I can't be the first to guess that.
Relic
February 25 2005 5:09 PM EST
A cab is only a 360 :)
quote from one of my favorite snowboarding sites:
Caballerial (Cab)
A trick in the halfpipe which begins fakie, spins 360 degrees, and lands riding forward. Named after skateboarding guru, Steve Caballero. Also see Half-Cab and Gay Twist
Number one, you are not in a pipe as far as I can tell, two, you spun more than 360. Not entreily accurate in my opinion.
Almuric you obviously weren't looking that well. All through the first turn he is grabbing the board.
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 5:10 PM EST
Geez Almuric,
I'm 32 years-old. that's 95 years-old in snowboarding years. At this age, it's close enough.
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 5:11 PM EST
A cab is any spin where you take off on your opposite direction.
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 5:12 PM EST
Zog, I think what Almuric is referring to is maintaining the grab through the whole jump.
Reebok
February 25 2005 5:13 PM EST
So by glory's definition I'm right?
RIPsalt3d
February 25 2005 5:16 PM EST
That's exactly the same definition as I found, Glory. I just knew it'd be right after Jibfest said it was named after a person.
That was really entertaining. I only caught the business end of it, though. :)

OK, you're right. I see he's grabbing the board. My bad.
Cabs were originally 360's, though, but I guess that's changed.
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 5:17 PM EST
If you guys want to get that specific, a Cab can only be done on a skateboard.
We're using today's definition.
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 5:19 PM EST
So the whole point of this was for me to figure out who the snowboarders on CB are.
So who are the snowboarders on CB?
Who are the skateboarders?
[EG] Almuric
February 25 2005 5:20 PM EST
"A trick in the half-pipe, which begins fakie, spins 360 degrees, and lands riding forward." Why would you not be able to do that on a snowboard?
Reebok
February 25 2005 5:23 PM EST
I skate board a bit, and if I want to get hurt, I snow board.
RIPsalt3d
February 25 2005 5:29 PM EST
My housemate, sssimmo, is a snowboarder. I find that attempting anything requiring coordination and balance is dangerous for me. ;)
Nixon Jibfest
February 25 2005 5:33 PM EST
Salt3d,
you should try longboard surfing. if you can stand up on a sidewalk, you can stand up on a longboard. if you fall, you just land in water.
Relic
February 25 2005 5:36 PM EST
So the guy that isn't a snowboarder jumps in on the post and wins? Sounds like we all aren't very good snowboarders then :P Or at least all but Mr. Cab 900 Indy.

I don't board, but my play station controller makes a great snowboard. Thank all my years of Cool Boarders for me having any chance here.
