I haven't done it on a board that big in probably 7 years but I did cab 3 my swallow tail flatland 2 seasons ago.

Can someone please explain the meaning of the 2 terms, "pow" and "cab"?
I have been making searches in the forum but with no luck. Thanks.

POW - untracked powder, snowy goodness, fresh snow, unpacked snow, greatest thing EVER.

cab - going backward and doing a spin

[snowklinger]

pow-powder

cab-short for caballaerial, for Steve Caballero, who invented the trick, and also the best skate shoe ever, the Half-Cab by Vans. The trick is a fakie (skateboarding) or switch (snowboarding) often started with a 180-nosepress followed by the cab trick.

A cab is a switch frontside 360.

A half-cab is a switch frontside 180.

Many thanks blunted_nose and snowklinger. Got it.

But regarding cab, if someone is very good in riding switch to begin with, what's the point in naming it like it is (cab)? I think I am still missing something there. Damn me. But thanks guys.
