To do the Gainer, or to not?

[Night Rider]

Should I attempt the Gainer? Lol, I'm know I'm not gonna half-ass it...in fact...I know it'll be easier to do it. I can't even BHS or back flip, but it's because I'm moving backwards and going somewhere I can't see...

To tell you the truth, I think I have more confidence doing a gainer than BHS or btuck...should I try it? (First like into a pool or something)

[alpha7158]

you should do it. do it with the jstep

[Night Rider]

is the j-step nessisary? like, i mean honestly i dont understand why a jstep is nessisary or someone would even want to turn or do the jstep

whats the special about it?

[alpha7158]

makes it easier, you get more momentum from swing and it flows nicer

[Night Rider]

o....is it a big difference?

[alpha7158]

yes definatly

[Night Rider]

so then i cant continue going forwards if i add the j-step, right?

[alpha7158]

im just saying which is the easiest way to do it and that looks best. who cares if it gains distance unless your into parkour and need it to go off a ledge?

[Mastersword203]

I say learn to do it j-step then try it straight. J-step is much easier though. You just have to make sure you do it right.

if you can backtuck, try the reverse gainer setup, it's how I learned it first

[alpha7158]

yeah reverse is probably the easiest way to get yout head around doing a gainer. I have had to learn gainers off both feet for combo and neatness purposes and jstep is the best from my experience

[Night Rider]

exactly, i need to get off the ledge lol
i think i can reverse gainer, but ik for a fact i cant backtuck

Dude, no! If you can't backflip, don't gainer, bad things happen.

i dont believe u! :dead:

=D

[norik0]

yea if u cant backflip dont try a gainer man... im telling u now.. its a lot easier to not hurt urself with a normal backtuck than with a gainer... with a gainer the possibility of landing on ur face and getting a black eye and bloody nose is very high so i would suggest getting use to backtucks first

[BBoySafety]

i've been training rev. gainers for a while and those fuckers just won't come to me!!!
aaargh i think i'm going to eat my hat!

luke learned a jstep gainer flash before a backflip

[TartanPajamas]

There are exceptions to every rule.

[Towlie2110]

If you cant backflip I wouldnt reccomend the gainer.

[Night Rider]

u guys realize im doing this into a pool first, off a diving board...until im 110% comfortable...right?

[Towlie2110]

lol. Well in that case try anything you want. Your going into a pool what does it matter.

[James Branleur 3]

i branletuck, its enough for any branling trick. i know what i am branling about. i could send you a sampler of how to branletuck... via messenger, my address is harry__thompson@hotmail.com

I'd be wary of any trick into a pool. Off a diving board shouldn't be too hazardous but I'd watch out anywhere near the edges.

Kaos learnt reverse gainers 5 minutes before a backflip :)

...but exceptions aside, I'd recommend backflip before a gainer. Because after a certain point during the gainer, it's basically a backflip until you land.

It'd be like learning to skip before you can run; it's weird if you do it, but makes more sense to do it the other way round.

[Night Rider]

looks like im headed that direction! =D

<end this fucking post>

[Gazapo]

yup. backflip first for sure, then move on to gainers.

[Towlie2110]

Yup backflip then gainer. have you considered trying the front flip first?
