A skateboarding trick is a maneuver performed while skateboarding (or other boardsports such as snowboarding and wakeboarding).
The basic elements of the skateboarding trick are the varial, jump, flip, grab, slide (or grind), and stall, combined with twists of various multiples of 180 degrees.
Tricks which require some kind of ramp, usually a halfpipe[?], are vert tricks; the rest can be performed on the flat or off of curbs and rails and are known as street tricks.

A casper flip is when you ollie, kickflip the board round half way, catch it in the casper postion (While still in the air) flip it back over normall like a shuvit half kickflip (while still in the air) and land on it.

The plan is that your legs and feet and skateboard follow your shoulders around and you land parallel to the ledge.
Your toes should be near the toe edge of the skateboard and, depending on shoe size, your heel may be hanging off of the heel edge.
This action requires you to actually kick your front foot off of your skateboard; the last point of contact between the front of your shoe and the skateboard should be in that little concaved dip just before the nose.

 Skateboarding Tricks Beginning With C
A freestyle stance where the skateboard is upside down and balanced on the point of the tail.
Despite the name, this isn't a casper trick at all - it was just invented by the same man. Basically, it is a fakie 180° pivot in rail where the deck and the front wheel never touches the floor.
After the skateboarder gains air from the vert ramp, he grabs the nose of the skateboard with his front hand as in a nosegrab and then extends his arms and legs in order to look like a capital 'T', or if you prefer, someone being crucified (hence the title of the trick).
