How to Land a Gainer

OK so we've already taken the assessment of kicking up and arching our back. Now before we do that complete move, we need to focus on the landing. Now typically as your body is spinning in the air, you're going to want to bring both legs down at the same time. That way it gives you more stability and you're not going to fall or shift your body. You basically want your weight to be in the center as you land like so. Again, if you're able to be more flexible or your legs kick apart further then they can land with more distance which will give you a more stable landing. So let's see, let's take it from here without the actual flip. From here, we arch, we kick up, we bring this in, we rotate around, and we land with both legs planted in the same, almost along the same line that we kicked out of. We're not going to land with our legs like this, or they're not going to be this way if we're kicking out this way. They're going to line up in the same line that they started in. And next we're going to go over the completed move and how to complete the gainer.
