Gainer? or Back Tuck?
«

Well i'm just wondering is a gainer easier or a regular backflip from standing. It would seem a gainer is easier because of all the swinging momentum from your leg, but then backflips would seem easier to spot so feel free to suggest.

Just because one has trained under harsher conditions doesn't mean they are better than you, but what does is their dedication.

A gainer is much much harder then a backflip.
Have you done a back tuck before?
Or are you choosing which one to try first?

Go for the back tuck.
Gainers are quite a bit harder.
