Does anybody know how to figure out which leg to lead with in a gainer dismount? Which leg kicks up vs which leg stays on the ground?

Depends... if you want to connect it to something like cartwheel gainer then your bad leg should be on the ground. Otherwise you can just see what feels natural by doing a gainer start to flatback in the pit.Does anybody know how to figure out which leg to lead with in a gainer dismount?

Regular.A twisting gainer or just a regular one?
I'm just a bit confused about what feels natural, haha. Do you see a relation to your switch leaps/split leaps / cartwheels with what your good/bad leg is?Depends... if you want to connect it to something like cartwheel gainer then your bad leg should be on the ground.

You do a left cartwheel. Try kicking up with your right leg while your left leg stays on the ground to the mat stack, and see if you like it better/its more powerful. Im theory if you do leap with your left leg on the ground, then it might be stronger in taking off. Just try and see.Regular.
I was practising to my back on a mat stack and found that my right leg stays on the ground and I kick up with left. However that may just be due to having the wrong distance to the mat stack? I'm confused because when I do split leaps or switch leaps, the left leg stays on the ground and I kick with right.
In cartwheels and round offs I go right foot - left foot - left hand - right hand - right foot - left foot. (I never know if that counts as a left or right carthweel that's why I typed it out).
