Breaking Down the Gainer

OK so we're going to learn how to do the gainer. So in order for us to learn how to do the gainer, I'm going to demonstrate the movement from a couple different angles so you can take a look at how it's done closely from all different sides. Now remember we're going to do the one where we come in from an angle and kick up because that allows it, that run with that step gives us an extra amount of momentum that will help especially with first time triers of the gainer to complete the gainer successfully. I'm going to start from this side. Basically going to arch in and then kick up and still continue to move in that forward momentum while still spinning upside down. So I'm going to do this a little bit slower than normal just so you can take a look at it. So I run slowly, I kick, and go a gainer. Now let's try one from this opposite side. Again, I'm going to do it a little bit slower just so you can take a look and then I will spin over while keeping both legs separated. And that's the basics of how you do a gainer from both angles and you note that when I run in, I stop and kick over. And after I've shown you how to do a gainer right there, we're going to bring all together by going step by step in the next upcoming clips.
