Gainer
A gainer is slang term for an
acrobatic skill in which the acrobat performs a backwards
somersault while still moving forward. In
diving, this is known as reverse rotation (as opposed to front, back, or inward). Many stunt performers and
martial artists are capable of performing a similar skill on the ground, sometimes in combination with a midair inverted
kick.
