this is a really cool trick that i learned from shadowpunk. its really fun and makes you look really good even when youre not :D(these instructions are for reg.)

1. put your left foot on the nose(the board should be like this / ), and other foot in the air behind the board (leg straight)

2. grab the tail with your right hand, and roll the board end-over-end (from / to \ ) with your right foot on top of the bottom truck and holding the nose with your left hand fingers on bottom and thumb on top. left leg should hang beside you

3. hop a little, point your right foot down and half-flip the board counter-clockwise and land on the top

this is just the basic trick, you can add stuff in between #2 and #3 like wraparounds (which im currently trying)

have fun! :D

That explanation is to confusing for me to actually do the trick. I probably couldn't do it anyway.;)

yup your rite poop_loser it does make u look good this is how i do it

1. put ure back foot on the tail and front foot off to the side... also you have 2 turn you hand on the board so ure thumb is on the griptape

2. (the hardest bit) jump off the back foot and at the same time flip the board over so its in the casper posistion but with your back foot on the back truck and the front foot behind the front truck (now ure thumb should still be on the griptape, and your 4fingers looking up 2 the sky.)

3. flip the board back over and flip the board back ova onto it wheels and land with legs bent

also when you are at stage 2 then there are loads of combos to do: get in2 a casper and flip out, wraparounds (im learning), balance 4 a long time or even kick your front foot off like a lickflip HARD and let go while bringing up your back foot and (hopefully) it will flip as in a kickflip and when you c the griptape slam down your back foot and ride away
