J-stepped gainer and reverse gainer

[RozoN] · Mar-31-06, 01:24 AM

I've been watiching a lot of vids and reading a shitloead of threads, but I still cant get the difference between a J-stepped gainer and a reverse gainer. When u do a J-stepped gainer you turn around just like in a reverse...pleas help

Try watching Dogens, gainer tutorial, pretty sure that explains the difference.

Either way though with a reverse gainer you take a hop to change directions before you flip and with a j-step you just step through... thats a bad explanation but hope it helps.

oky... so there isnt anything called reverse j-stepped gainer ^_^ jsut wanted to be sure

whaaaaaaat a j-step is where you hop 180 degrees on one leg and then backflip off the non kicking leg.

a reverse gainer is a frontflip travelling backwards

Wrong. The definition above your post is correct.

Yeah I always thought that too cuz it makes sense...the frontflip travelling backwards is called a loser...

That's right, gainer gets it's name because you are 'gain'ing gound, going forward through your backflip and this is why travling backwards with a front flip is a Loser

a j step is just when you don't pivot on your non kicking leg :)

incorrect on both counts.

a frontflip travelling backwards is called a loser. as opposed to a gainer.

Even though I know the difference between the two, I can't seem to do gainers "non-straight forward". I always kick straight up, and I lose height from it. No matter if i do a j-step or a "normal" step, I always just do a normal gainer, as opposed to the side-gainers most people do.. Tried kicking to the side, but that didn't do much..

Any idea why this is?
