I saw the gainer where the foot caries the person all the way around and I saw the gainer where their foot caries them up but the back as if a normal backflip.

Which one do you do?

i like gainerflashes better. but occasionally i do tucked ones too, like when i do gainers in a straight line

gainerflashes look better imo, especially kgb7's and kaos's *drool*

I like gainer flash better, but don't u need more height?

more height than what? tucked gainers?

no not really, the swing of the leg gives you about equal height in both gainerflashes and tucked gainers.

tucked gainers are soo easy. flashes are pain in the ass. =[

both are so easy... flashes more so because you don't have to tuck.

I think that naturaly I flash but Since I'm so close to both I try both. I landed a flash but tucking is easeir for me.

I mean I think flash is easier but tucked for some reason makes me feel as if I can landed when I don't.

flash is easier with j-step setup

tucked is easier with straight setup

once you get flashes they become second nature, virtually the default gainer.

yeah, you'll most likely never do them tucked again after that.

Well, only when they are set in a game of trick (horse) :P
