The term "Cab" in snowboarding generally refers to any switch-backside spin (no matter what the amount of rotation) on any feature (halfpipe, jumps, rails, boxes). For example, a "switch-FRONT1080 double cork" off a jump would be referred to as a "cab 1080 double cork". The term was originally only applied to a switch-backside 360 in a halfpipe in which a rider would take off a wall switch, spin 360 degrees backside, 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-backside 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 backside, and land in his/her comfortable stance.

Caballerial, Full Cab or Cab,
Caballerial, Full Cab or Cab, was originally a skateboarding trick performed in a half pipe, however the trick is now also performed in snowboarding. It is a Fakie Backside 360 ollie, or in snowboarding, a switch frontside 360. The Caballerial was named after professional skateboarder Steve Caballero, who invented the trick in 1981[1], originally doing the trick backside.
