I'm not sure if this is a gymnastics move, but I don't know how to make it have good form either.
Here's the attempt... I can't flip to good with shoes.
Here's the landed one. Sorry for the hop after, I was happy. ![]()

Nothing wrong with a hop after, great job! After training at a gym I lost off my 'balls' for the lack of a better word with flips. Gainers are a pretty cool trick, and maybe you're interested in some free running?

I like some free running too, I mostly practice gymnastics though.
Sasquatch, gainers are a very common diver move besides being used by the girls off the beam as a dismount, gainer full being very popular.
I knew divers did it, I didn't know gymnasts did it off beam though, I'll have to find a video of it.Blairbob said:Sasquatch, gainers are a very common diver move besides being used by the girls off the beam as a dismount, gainer full being very popular.
One thing you can do to easen your gainer, is to think about kicking your leg up above your chest, if you only lift your knee a bit, it will not contribute to any rotation, and you are left with only your arms and your tucking to get you around.
