The boys at Zombie Brand Skateboards demonstrate the proper technique for doing the skateboard trick, Casper Flip. Instructor Punk Luke provides guidance and a live demonstration of the Casper Flip.
Today, I'm going to show you how to do a Casper Flip. What you want to do is kind of pop up nice and high in the air and with your front foot, just nudge the corner of the board down a little bit just with your toes. Once it's down as far as you can get it, you want to scoop it back around behind you, so flips like that and then back on the board.
And a little tip I've found when doing them, when you are nudging the board down, you just want to do it really gently with your toe and then just scoop it a little in the concave right there until it goes right down. Otherwise, you risk of kicking the board down all the way, and it flipping over, okay, which you don't want. Hey, so for Casper Flips, what you want to be doing is kind of having your feet exactly how you're going to ollie, right, but maybe bring your front foot a bit back, right? Because remember, what you're doing is tilting the board downwards as you're doing it.
So as you're popping up, you literally really lightly give it a little bit of a tuck down, okay, just with your toe. So when it's down there and it gets to where you want it, you kind of just scoop it around with your toe, right around like that, okay? And that's how you do a Casper Flip. .
