What's a Fakie Full Cab Flip?
There's this mission by Jahmir in Brooklyn Banks called "NYC Banks Wall" that asks you to do a Fakie Full Cab Flip over the wall

Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/L2pt6eX

So, I know a Full Cab Flip = Fakie Flip 360. But then, is a Fakie Full Cab Flip a Fakie Fakie Flip 360? Then isn't the Fakie of a Fakie, a normal one? So a Fakie Fakie Flip 360 would just be a Kickflip 360?

See my screenshots above and see how I do a Full Cab Flip and a (Normal) Kickflip 360, but none of them gets registered as valid. I've been trying other combinations too but I haven't found what a Fakie Full Cab Flip is

EXTRA INFO: I'm goofy

You need to rotate the other way

"Full Cab" Is redundant anyway. This game has all kinds of weird things with the trick names. I'm surprised I haven't seen a "double half cab ollie" yet.

Yeah, I'm with mayhem. It took a while for me to get this one. Basically did the same as mayhem described. Speed helps too.

Skateboarding doesn’t have any rules, and trick names don’t follow any sort of convention. Whoever invents a trick usually names it what they like. Then often someone else comes along, does a slight variation, and calls it something completely different.

I mean sort of, but nollie will always be nollie. Switch will always be switch. Fakie will always be fakie. And frontside and backside will always be frontside and backside

If you're skating by yourself and just screwing around, then yeah, there 'are no rules' or 'conventions'. But if you've followed the evolution of skateboarding since the 80's and watched skate videos and/or competitions along the way, then there are indeed specific trick names and conventions. (and definitely trick names in session) Frontside vs Backside is different switch from normal and different when you're grinding. If you are skating wherever and do a kickflip and decide to name it a 'poopenheimer deluxe', it is still a kickflip to anyone who skates. (and indeed a poopenheimer deluxe for you as well)

I'm still trying to land this trick.

yeah, there is no fakie full cab, it's just a cab/caballerial then. idk, the new devs nacon put in don't skate i guess.

a caballerial is already fakie and a full rotation, so putting fakie full in the front is totally redundant or in the case of fakie even paradox, as doing a fakie trick fakie would basically mean going forward the normal way. you got a half-cab, which is a fakie 180, and people discuss to this day on skateboarding forum if the bs or fs is the way to rotate. in most cases, a half-cab means fakie bs 180, whereas a caballerial is usually a fakie fs 360. if you want to be anal about it you could put a fs or bs before the trick to specify direction of rotation. but a half cab is always some sort of fakie 180, and a caballerial is always a fakie 360, no matter where you stand on the fs/bs issue.

also note that traditionally fs and bs were reversed when it comes to fakie rotations, because fakie tricks were done and named before switch skating was a thing and in contrast to switch and nollie, frontside or backside used to always refer to the direction the skater goes if he would actually ride forward. so in order to determine if a fakie trick is fs or bs, you would picture the trick in rewind, which flips the meaning of fs and bs compared to all other stances, where fs and bs remain consistent.

this is another issue skaters are a little divided over today. most traditionalists will use the counterintuitive 80s definition for fakie rotation, while younger skaters might just go for consistent rotations treat all stances the same, i.e. rotation is defined by the way the skaters body rotates in reference to the direction he is facing/going.
