i've tried them off an 8 meter platform a few times.  closest i got was abbout 1 and 3/4 and i just tucked up on the landing, hurts quite a bit.  i think i need something taller to do it off

major props for people that stick these, its insane to watch

i've never seen somebody huck one on a board but that sounds super sick.  especially if you could launch a cliff and do it slowed down....imagine that, like seth morrison froggy style laid out double gainer

Baha, that'd be soooo $$$$

It'd need to be a ginormous cliff though. And you'd need to have perfect entry form for how big it would be.

I've only done  a gainer, off the edge of my pool, no diving board.

I really need a diving board...

what if u RAN BACKWARDS towards the cliff, diving board, wutever u jump off of, and then you do a frontflip, that would be insane

Yeah, that's a reverse gainer. You just stand with your back to the edge of whatever you're jumping, jump back and out, and frontflip.  Running backwards and doing it would be hilarious. hahah

not hard at all off a high dive. i've been debating weather to try a dub gainer off the high dive, so far i haven't attempted it but i can do double backs off the low one.

no its called a loser. because when you do a back flip going forward youre gaining distance but when you do a front flip back wards youres losing distance so its called a loser.

Baha, that makes no sense. Your still 'gaining' distance, you're just doing it with 'reverse' rotation. Thus 'reverse gainer'. I've never heard it called a 'loser', but hey, to each his own.

It is.
And gainers are called reverses in the diving world, gainers are just a slang name for them.
