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.

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.

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.
