How to Hospital Flip (AKA Casper Flip) |

This time on the Shred School - hospital flips, AKA casper flips. I taught the 'legit', two-footed version years ago, which you can check out in the video cards. But this time, we're learning the one-footed hospital flip version, which is a lot more popular and useful these days, because you can expand it into bigspins (or alpha flips), and all kinds of other variations.

[@VLSkate]

it's crazy to me that you do these switch so well

[@RadRatVideo]

+VLSkate it's crazy to me too. The day I filmed was the first time I did one in probably 8 or 9 years.

[@not6405]

Rad Rat Video Can you talk about "Nerdflips"?

[@BennyHeflinger]

Great youtube channel ! I landed a hospital several minutes after watching this video never attempting it b4 in my entire life. MOB IT !!!!!

[@cclbiah]

I remember back in the day a buddy at the skatepark I grew up near said he invented this trick. He called it a drip flip. I was so determined to learn it, and when I finally did I felt so badass. A few years later I discovered your video on your first channel calling it a hospital flip. I havent skated in years but I could probably pull this one off in 5 tries. Really easy once you get it down and feels quite satisfying.

[@hybrid_wwbtr549]

I actually learned how to do varial kickflips the way I like them when I was trying to learn this one. My problem with hospital flips is that I seem to be bringing it back the wrong way. I do the half flip and get the wrap, but then I don't seem to be able to bring the board back horizontally, I just try to do it vertically and it just does this shove-it like motion and the grip side stays facing the ground.

[@WojackToter]

I just realized How do you only have 11k subscribers? I hope you reach 100k pretty soon!

[@FakieFSflip]

Dust he's been gaining subs pretty quickly recently. around like half a year or so ago he had 2000

[@thebeanmaster4358]

Check his subs rn

[@LJM2stepspain]

Not sure how possible it would be but a series on skate slang would be cool. If you can find as much info on when it started and why it started like you do with trick histories it would be pretty interesting.

[@regularguy3879]

I really enjoy this trick, funny thing is while learning this trick you can also learn front foot late shove at the same time

[@BottleBrassMonkey]

IS THAT A FUTON COUCH? MAN, I USED TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE

[@Grommtmetal]

You seem like such an awesome dude. I skated for about ten years, but haven't really been keeping up for the past couple of years, but I still enjoi (see what I did there?) watching your videoes. Keep it up, man. If you ever come by Copenhagen, give me a shout :)

[@jack_laplnt5691]

So in depth, helped me a lot, thanks!!!

[@CarInMyAss]

In like 1997 I learned these by accident trying to 180 kickflip and I was so happy because I thought I invented something since I've never seen it and then I found out it was so much older

[@RalphLBaer]

Can you expand on what happened to your dumb knee? How you injured it, etc

[@BIMONLAKI]

How do you feel about board size trends? I remember a few years ago everyone rode 7.75. Now everyone usually rides 8. I ride 8.25 but it's pretty common

[@Oipeeepwns]

he already did a vid on this partner

[@crimson1718]

hapizskate 8 ? are you kidding ? Here , literally everyone rides an 8.5 . I used to ride 8s or 8.125, and I would often hear things like "your board is so small man wtf !" Now I mostly ride 8.25s

[@crimson1718]

PK Boricua anything above 8.3 is theorically awkward for flip tricks

[@Dandosa1]

Dude I use to ride a 7.5, maybe even a 7.25 and I’m so sad bigger boards took over, I stopped skating in 2011 right around the time anything smaller than 8 was hard to find, I always felt the smaller boards were easier to flip, and lighter and could Ollie higher. Bigger boards were nice for transition skating but I hated flips with them.

[@johneapleseed6876]

Rad rat Is it still a hospital flip if you do them front side spin. Like a half front foot impossible.

[@emilku491]

thanks man! love your videos.

[@gregnubody3871]

I use my back foot for Casper flip, and front for hospital, does that make any, or no difference at all?

[@abyssalspecter93]

speaking of hitting your ankles, how do you feel about those protective sock things that people like braille skateboarding always talk about?

[@severlst2293]

Thanks for this video!

[@shawnkintz9813]

Love your channel brother. Hope you're doing well man.

[@slimestar861]

On easy way to do it is when you flick try to not let your foot come off the board

[@prodbyzsolo9897]

I like your shirt! :)

[@matusb8059]

got a new setup?

[@fernandoreyes680]

Are you still using DKL grip?

[@claysoggyfries]

I figured those were the same trick

[@BottleBrassMonkey]

SHOUT OUT TO JOHN GAYBAR IN THE COMMENTS

[@domnicktrujillo5604]

awesome video! I've cracked so many tails doing this trick

[@CarInMyAss]

Yes. Snapped a few right off and did a painful split

[@1436am]

Casper flips are 2x as hard as hospital.

[@ericlowery2162]

Thank you for putting hospital flip instead of Casper flip

[@misskobayashi4460]

Just do a half a kick flip and wrap it back its simple

[@PatchsOhulahan]

Hey can you do a vid on the history/what happened to the A-team skateboard company

[@daverunstrain]

I cannot do these. Every time I try to half kickflip it ends up as a varial flip

[@olliehewson2955]

Randy Shredmenton pop straight down , if u scoop back it'll go varial man

[@daverunstrain]

Just like Aron said, it's super hard to get out of that habit lol.

[@crimson1718]

Randy Shredmenton the thing is that you don't "half flip". You Kinda do, but there is literally no flick. It's just like an ollie, where you would slide your foot a little sideways and the board automatically turns upside down. from there you bring it back around .

[@Whupsw0w]

Interesting, totally not the way i do them. I like to put my feet like I'm about to do a higher ollie, where your front foot is little bit more back, maybe twisted for kickflip a little bit, but not too much. Then I pop and start dragging my front foot up (not down like you said) and a little bit to the side. Right when i feel my board is sucked to my foot (somewhere before the bolts) I wrap it around. Don't try to do a kicflip and then add something to it, it's not gonna work, altough having a good kickflip will help. Think of it as it's own thing. It's one fluid motion. The wraping part is mostly in the anckle. Remeber your back foot is not doing anything but popping straight down. I'm able to get some solid height this way, even when I wrap it verticaly. I might upload a video of me doing it, just for the comparsion. Be sure to search "Adam Zvada casper flip" on yt, that dude got them so well. Good tricktip nevertheless, love your vids .)

[@flatgroundtv7097]

Casper Flip is harder than Hospital Flip

[@f602r5]

Casper flip

[@MyshalDynasty]

F602r casper flip : with the back foot . hospital flip : front foot only

[@Franky_theSkater]

Crazy cuz i can do better impossibles while riding switch

[@AustinDebar]

a hospital flip and a casper flip aren't the same bro. They're totaly different.

[@phxnigtmare]

Not totally but different enough to be different. The look different and are done differently

[@matthewdrury6443]

Virgin trucks.

[@x_x_velvy_sk8zx_x581]

Casper and hospital flip are not the same bro🤦‍♂️

[@fernandoreyes680]

He didn't say that bro 🤦🏽

[@mimik4568]

hospital flip, terrible name

[@bubbadagger]

challenge.i wanna see you do a frontside grind on transition. also, regarding switch, back in the 90s when I was mad tech I found switch fs flips way easier.
