Step-By-Step

Figure 01
Start off in a Heelside Railstand. This trick is usually done on the nose, so the Nose end of the board should be on your right side.

Start off in a Heelside Railstand. This trick is usually done on the nose, so the Nose end of the board should be on your left side.
Figure 02
Position your right (back) foot farther forward with your arch over the right wheel. This will help your right foot transfer onto the Nose more easily. Once your right foot is positioned, start shifting your weight over to your left (front) foot.
Figure 02
Position your left (back) foot farther forward with your arch over the left wheel. This will help your left foot transfer onto the Nose more easily. Once your left foot is positioned, start shifting your weight over to your right (front) foot.
Figure 03
Pick up your left (front) foot and move it toward the back (griptape) side of the deck.
Figure 03
Pick up your right (front) foot and move it toward the back (griptape) side of the deck.
Figure 04
Place the toes of your left (front) foot against the griptape right behind the left truck. This is where your foot will be when you go to casper.

Now use your right (rear) foot to pull the board backward so that falls into casper stance.

Now use your left (rear) foot to pull the board backward so that falls into casper stance.
Figure 07
Let your right (rear) foot roll off the wheel and onto the nose, while keeping your left (front) foot underneath the griptape side of the board.
Figure 07
Let your left (rear) foot roll off the wheel and onto the nose, while keeping your right (front) foot underneath the griptape side of the board.
Figure 08
You should now be balanced in the casper stance with all of your weight on your right (rear) foot.
Note: In a proper casper, your right (rear) foot should be completely resting on the nose and should not be touching the ground at all. Your left (front) foot should also never touch the ground during the duration of the casper. It may take some practice, and your feet can often touch the ground a little bit, but a no-touch capser (from either foot) is what you should be aiming for.
