Well its pretty basic and I dont know if its been done by anyone else but its pretty easy.
There has probably been a time in all of our lives where we have wonderd if you could "Casper" (skateboarding trick) on a scooter.
Well the other day I was messing round outside my house and thought of that. What I did was go into a Pogo (Well not really bouncing around but on the back weel) and get your frount foot under the deck then take your hands off the handle bars and stay in the Pogo/Tyre Tap (dont really know what to call it but I think you get the point)

Incase some of you dont get it I drew a sketchy little drawing in paint...

Edit: Try linking it into cool combos for instance: Go up and tyre tap a curb do that trick and spin around doing it and jump out fakie....

ya I would call it a casper, Ive tried those before but with no luck. I usually try them with my hands on the bars and do manuals like that. It would look pretty sick if someone could do that really well.

I think It would look good on top of a quaterpipe, I have no idea of how difficult would it be to balance with no hands though.

Yeah... i would call it a casper too although i'm not into flatland tricks. You should talk to my friend whose username is easter in SR, and exchange experiences with flatland tricks in MSN. (and if you add him to your MSN, then say that i suggested).

Noope havent botherd to do any editing and stuff yet. Im gonna get around to it soon. I was just doing a little footage tonight with Jordan so I guess Ill edit it sooner or later. Its just a pain becase for some reason WMM wont work and Ive looked for demos but none of them are any good.

I think the scooter would just fall on the side, that's what always happens when I try barspins to tailtaps and I don't catch the barspin before I land. But maybe if you've got mad skills you can pull it off.

I've been doing dat 4 years, wile hard, but mines sorta Varied, ive never accepted it as a bona fide Trick, so I guess AX3D has Dibs. I even do it in manuals some times without my foot on da brake, and hands on.

why not just do an ordinary manual instead of putting one foot on the bottom of the deck? To me, I only see caspers as cool when they are done on a skateboard.

Because, I like Broadening My tricks, 'I can do a Manual! So what! Can you do a variation of it?'

Thats like asking:
Why do a Heelwhip when you can do a Tailwhip?
Why do a Frontflip when you can do A BackFlip?
Why do a 360 one direction when you can 360 the other direction?

Broaden your tricks for tech dudes.

I saw a Video on google where some really technical Scooter guy (I think he called himself Miastro) Was doing that on flat, except instead of using his hands for balance he just double flipped the camera off.
