Just a little side note, hospital flips are not the same as casper flips, [VIDEO] hospital flips use one foot while casper flips use two.

I'm going to be blunt and say you're wrong. This [VIDEO] explains the difference. I uploaded a video of a hospital flip, not a casper flip. Second, I can learn whatever fucking trick I want. I want to learn a half cab backside hospital flip, I'm going to fucking learn a half cab backside hospital flip.

See, I always saw these as Hospital Flips. A casper-flip is similar, but with the one exception that you actually use your back foot to hit the tail to revert it back over. This guy had really good tips for both [VIDEO]
