Why skaters like it

Linked in trick name threads to settle Casper flip versus hospital flip. Skaters point to it as a clear example of the real Casper.

“Casper flips you return the board with back foot. People often get the names mixed up, but they are different tricks.”

I used it as an example, everyone I know refers to the tricks like that. And it’s not like that we’re talking about a Reynolds fs flip vs a muska flip where they are actually the same thing but different style. Hospital flip and Casper flip are actually 2 different things and I think I explained it pretty well with the Mullen reference. It’s up to you if you wanna believe me or not, but that’s what the majority of th

The guy above is correct. It's a stall. It's a half flip to Casper stall, and I normally say it's half impossible out due to how the motion with the back foot feels, but it looks like a varial kickflip out.

this guy kind of gets it some of the time [VIDEO] most people refer to hospitals as caspers and the other way around because its a pretty arbitrary difference and can be difficult to see at speed. its also pretty easy to be meaning to do one and end up doing the other.

It's not a Casper flip because the board makes the full kickflip rotation. It doesn't in a Casper flip. This is what a Casper looks like [VIDEO]

That but with a backside 180/ the bigspin version of this is pretty unanimously called alpha flip [VIDEO] this is what I mean by tapping the back foot, but it's pretty much the same trick. The names are just gimmicks anyways the whole point is to make someone understand what trick you are talking about, using a name nobody knows doesn't really help with that. Just calling it hospital flip is a lot more common than ca

That's not a flip at all? You just rotated the board and rotated it back. What makes it a Casper is rotating it then pulling it back under you're feet except opposite ends. This is a casperflip [VIDEO]

Yeah you do a half kickflip, then you catch it like a freestyle casper and flip it around. Here's Aaron Kyro doing a couple that aren't so great [VIDEO] but I think it gets the point across.
