yep thats a caveman..... or you can have your hand on the nose of the board and i find it easyer to land and you land fakie so you get good lines with it that way............

no thats not a cave man. a caveman is when one hand is on the nose, the other is in the middle of the deck then u jump and land. i think that kinda shits retarded though. whats the point?

i spin the casper like a half tre flip (its already upside-down so it lands right-way-up) and then land it

Well,I grab the nose,jump really high,make the tail come up so that its evened out,then put my feet on and roll away.Oh,i'm usually running when i do it.

i grab the nose too. i swing the board away from me then when it comes back i jump against it and hold the nose so i sorta like...do a nosegrab while leveling out...also usually running. i think they come in real handy when there's a grass run up before a drop or summin along those lines

i hold it with my back hand on the toeside rail and run, jump, place my back foot on the board,then let go of the board with my hand and jump off my front foot and then bring it onto the board. the next bit is hard to explain. i am currently at the apex of my caveman, and the board is currently below and behind me. then i kind of roll my ankles forward to bring the board under me. then, to land i just let myself drift dowen a bit then strech my legs and roll away looking class...
this version gives you alot of height and because you dont outstretch your legs at first you get quite alot of distance, which i always win with in skate:D

when u grab the nose and do a caveman its calld a bomb drop
wen u grab the heelside rail its called a caveman and wen u grab both the nose and tail its call a cannonball caveman

a caveman is when you hold the board, run up to a rail or something, and hop onto it and grind it. its because you dont ollie, so its like before they had ollies or something, even though they didnt have grinds then either. hence the caveman reference.
its not when you just pop it up and grab it like some boneless thing and then land back on.

There talking about just jumping on to the board, from holding it, to jumping, to being on the board.
