    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

        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
