help Back Full Trampoline FAQ
What is a back full on trampoline?
A back full combines one backward somersault with one complete longitudinal twist. The gymnast must finish the twist and open for a controlled landing on the trampoline bed.
When does the twist happen in a back full?
The twist can be initiated early or later during the backward salto, depending on the technique and routine. Coaches usually teach the body positions and timing progressively because opening too early can affect landing control.
Is a back full harder than a back somersault?
Yes. It adds a full twist to the backward rotation, so the performer must control both somersault timing and body orientation. It is normally learned after the athlete can perform a consistent back somersault.
Where is the back full used competitively?
It is used in trampoline routines and can also appear in tumbling or other acrobatic settings. In competition, its value depends on the governing code, the execution, and the difficulty of the surrounding routine.
