Ooh yeah that sounds nice. Caspers are actually hard as fuck to make look good on street board

I try no complys and also struggle with them heavily. One that Ive been focusing on making look smooth is strawberry milkshake and its looks like ass every time I do it

Straight no complies are harder than doing them with shove it's or as 180s, I've only ever done caspers on a street board, you need to pull up by leaning back instead of just bending your front leg is the trick to doing them stylish. Strawberry milkshakes are easy as hell to do but really really tough to make look smooth. I got into doing a variant where I'd flip it heelside, 180 body varial into the footprint and spring it up like an pressure flip from underneath, you need.to get your toe just between the wheel and the board though

Are you talking about casper big spin?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Nope those are cool too. It's a weird trick and I doubt it has a name. Dunno if I can describe it better, it's sorta like a strawberry milkshake but you roll the board half way over in the heel flip direction, pivot your body 180 and the same time and catch the grip of the half flipped board from the underside as you land on your front foot, kick it up so it flips and land
