What this video teaches
McKenna from Skate Like A Girl teaches the casper flip from the casper position outward, starting with the front foot on the bottom of the board near the front bolts and slightly hanging off, and the back foot on top of the tail. She has you first get comfortable holding that position standing on the board, leaning slightly back while bending down, with the back foot completely loose and the front foot doing all the pressure work. She then isolates two parts to drill separately: the scoop, sliding the front foot and using pressure to move the board, and the push up, kicking up with the front foot while the back foot rests on the tail.
Key tips
- Front foot goes on the bottom of the board near the front bolts, slightly hanging off; back foot goes on top of the tail
- Practice pushing the front foot down onto the underside of the board so it covers your foot before adding anything else
- In the casper position lean slightly backwards while bending down to stay balanced
- Keep the back foot completely loose and doing no motion; the front foot supplies all the pressure
- Drill the two halves separately, the scoop (slide the front foot with pressure to move the board) and the push up (kick up with the front foot), then combine them
