Freestyle Tricktip 43: Nose Casper to Casper

[@GoG_Z_IL]

The most usefull f.s guide out there!!!

[@xmqqv9209]

Perfect timing for this tricktip, since i recently started learning Casper to Caspers, and i get the Flip really consistent, but I just cant land back in a Casper, it just doesn't work in my head. Ill definitley give this trick a try, to build up the catching skills for the Casper to Casper, which always has been one of my dream tricks in Freestyle. Thanks Tony

[@FreestyleTricktips]

I'm pretty sure I know exactly where you're going wrong with the regular casper to casper. I'll get round to doing a tricktip for that in a couple of weeks, so you've got a bit of time to work on this version first!

@@FreestyleTricktips thats awesome man! Really stoked to see the Tricktip

[@karlros1443]

Thanks man your a really good explainer and i relly felt like this would be a piece of cake after watching the vid, cheers!

[@FreestyleTricktips]

Thanks, mate. Give it a go and let me know how you get on!

[@blsk8s]

Great tip, as usual.

[@xpndblhero5170]

I like that board.... Where'd you get it¿?

[@FreestyleTricktips]

It's my signature pro model. You can get it in the US at www.moonshineskateboards.com or in the UK & EU at www.offsetskatesupply.co.uk

[@guybayo2002]

When I do Casper to Casper I just do a regular Casper flip but I add a late half flip to go back in to Casper

[@FreestyleTricktips]

That sounds like the weirdest way possible to do that trick. Can you land them consistently that way?

[@guybayo2002]

@@FreestyleTricktips I don't do freestyle that much anymore, I am mostly combining freestyle and street. But back when I did only freestyle I could do them very consistently

[@kunjan4996]

Can you please do a 360 fingerflip tricktip? I m struggling with it so much

[@FreestyleTricktips]

I'll put it on the list, mate. I'll try to get around to it in a couple of weeks. What's going wrong when you try it?

[@kunjan4996]

@@FreestyleTricktips i can get only half of the flip. I heard its all about foot positioning.Is this true?

[@FreestyleTricktips]

Yeah, that's fairly accurate. That's assuming you've got the right grip, anyway - thumb on top, fingers underneath, in the centre of the nose. Once you get the footing and the grip right, the flip should come relatively easily.

[@Legion88able]

Hey man, loved this video. Where do get your setup from? I’m guessing you’re UK based. Been messing around with my street deck doing caspers etc but obviously not ideal! Is it even possibly to do these kinds of things on a street deck?

[@FreestyleTricktips]

I used to have to import everything from the US and I got so sick of it I started my own shop. Have a look - it's offsetskatesupply.co.uk. There's a "setup builder" on there so you can pick out your own complete but a LOT of stuff is out of stock right now. I can almost sort you out with a complete of my pro model (the Gale "Lionheart"), but I'm waiting on more skids to come in this week. As for the second question... you *can* do this stuff on a street deck, but it isn't easy, it doesn't feel nice, and it tends to look like ass. Especially casper stuff, because the steep nose and tail really don't work well; your foot slides off them easier and it forces the ankle into weird positions.

[@Legion88able]

@@FreestyleTricktips Sweet, thanks for the reply. I didn’t realise how niche freestyle is considering the availability of gear. I’ll check out the site, I’d be very interested in a set-up once stock is in.

[@Legion88able]

@@FreestyleTricktips In fact I’d almost certainly get one! Best to message through the website?

[@FreestyleTricktips]

@@Legion88able Yeah - I check messages on here often but it's just easier to deal with emails. BTW: skids should be picked up in the US today, so if all goes well, I could be back to building completes on Thursday.

[@connormaczee]

Dam it one more trick to learn now 😍

[@desertlizard4723]

I do all my Casper’s on the nose lol

[@FreestyleTricktips]

In that case, swap over, and go regular to nose. You want to start on the weaker casper and land on the strong one.

[@Ayanami5193]

even getting out the board he keeps doing freestyle tricks

[@FreestyleTricktips]

Yeah, that's the side effect of doing this stuff for years and years!
