THE FREESTYLE TRICK TIP: Kickflip to Casper

[@skatetolivelife]

When you realize after all these years of not street skating in the winter you could have been in your basement practicing freestyle tricks all winter long

[@ericlowery2162]

What a rad clip of Kilian Martin skating to some Electric Light Orchestra. Living Thing is an awesome song!

[@masterblassster]

Awesome tip Mike!

[@sairysclark8185]

Dude thanks for this vid i have been waiting for this trick tip

[@mechanikjoe]

Skating a double kick now Mike?! That single was so sweet!

[@forgottenuts]

I gotchu boo. I'll see what I can do tonight, actually never done a half flip to Casper before. Have done 1.5 flip to Casper, I'll do something or another.

[@tomtownsend5009]

Thanks man!

[@Arch117Angel]

Love it Mike! I suck at kick flips too! The boringest of tricks in my opinion

[@jamesmata2945]

What deck are you using now?

[@danm.9045]

how long you been skating..?

[@chrislee4706]

Hey mike! Ik this is weird but I always have trouble getting out of casper. I can never rotate it properly. Any tips?

[@mike_osterman1]

+Chris Lee totally understandable! I find it’s easier if you twist at the hips and bring the foot that’s under the board in front of you (imagine the way some people tweak their truck stands for Photos). When you do that, the board has a shorter distance to rotate and you can more easily bring it back to the wheels

[@mike_osterman1]

+Chris Lee I have an older “how to Casper” trick tip in my FSTT playlist that may help illustrate this

[@throwawayarchive3722]

I love kickflips to trucks.

[@xmqqv9209]

Just a question Mike, can you do Switch Caspers or Switch Walk the Dogs?

[@throwawayarchive3722]

I don't think even the best freestylers do switch walk the dogs.lol. mike's arsenal of tricks he has are so big that he doesn't find time to do much switch footwork. Idk just a guess lol

[@mike_osterman1]

+Stand that Ground ehh, I’ve just never really worked on ‘em. I’ve seen tkc Suzuki and isamu do switch dogs though 😊

[@throwawayarchive3722]

Mike Osterman that's crazy. Any links to isamu doing that trick?

[@xmqqv9209]

Stand that Ground actually i tried switch walk the dogs, and theyre really not that hard :D but switch caspers are tough tho :( i need to try them because technically i learned them nollie, which means i cant really ollie into them, because my switch ollies arent really good

[@xmqqv9209]

Mike Osterman thx for answering Mike!

[@yngrizzlyakagrizzly278]

u need to do a video of the first tricks u should learn for beginners

[@mike_osterman1]

+Uncle Bear I did :)

[@mike_osterman1]

+Uncle Bear check out my First 5 Freestyle Tricks vIdeo

[@guybayo2002]

I have good kickflips, can I still do it?

[@mike_osterman1]

Probs, it’ll just take some practice dropping the front foot

[@Estilomedialivre]

NICEST MAN !!

[@wellpreparedman]

Awesome find 🔥🔥🔥 I'm about to go try this on my Longboard ✌️🤟

[@bongsnhell]

Next up you gotta do....... KICKFLIP to CASPER then TRANSFER

[@Beccalind41]

ayyyy, Jonny Giger in a Mike Osterman vid! It would be rad if you guys could do a video together. He has some insane #faketricks

[@mike_osterman1]

+Beccalind41 yeee that would be fun. He had a really solid kickflip motion so I figured I’d borrow the clip :)

Grow out the hair!
