HOW TO CASPER FLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL

What this video teaches

Aaron Kyro breaks the half casper flip into three build-up steps you can practice standing still. The front foot sits near the front bolts angled about 45 degrees, close to a kickflip position, and the back foot is perched on the ball of the foot toward the front edge of the tail, almost in a pop shove-it position, so it can pop down fast and then scoop forward. He is explicit about what separates this from a hospital flip: here the back foot actually hits the tail and shoots the board forward, whereas a hospital flip is done with the front foot alone. His advice for the air is to stop worrying about pop height and concentrate on moving your feet very fast.

Key tips

• 1Front foot near the front bolts angled about 45 degrees like a kickflip; it does a half kickflip rotation, not a downward push
• 2Back foot perched on the ball of the foot toward the front edge of the tail, close to a pop shove-it position, so it can pop fast then scoop forward
• 3Practice step one: just half kickflip the board over and set it down, no landing attempt, over and over
• 4Practice step two: half kickflip and land only your back foot on the tail; step three: from the board upside down, scoop down with the back foot while pulling up with the front foot
• 5The back foot hitting the tail and shooting the board forward is what makes it a casper flip rather than a hospital flip
• 6Do not chase a huge ollie; the trick is won by moving the feet fast, and expect to land primo and under-rotate while learning
