I actually learned how to fakie and half cab on a cassette yesterday. I had a cassette for one day and learned it because I had originally learned on a freecoaster. With the cassette it’s kind of difficult timing your crank position right to where you can turn and you won’t go into like a wheely. My advice is to lean back, it won’t happen unless your back wheel can pivot in a sort of balance point(learn this and switch half cabs are a breeze) as you lean, lean more to the opposite side you are trying to roll out (if you spin left lean to the right) you want to be almost sitting slightly to the right of the wheel almost like a manual. Finally you want to carve (just turn your bar in the opposite direction so that is rolls you sideways) a little bit like the guys said to the point where you’re anywhere from 30 to 90° angle. Then jerk (pull your bars in the direction you want to go) the bike to the left while turning your head. I recommend going on flat land, and just pull up and move your tire from side to side. Almost like a turn but just picking up and turning you and the bike just a little bit, it’s a similar motion to rolling out. This will also help later when you under rotate a half and need that little extra turn in order not to fall sideways
