description Barani Overview
The Barani is an aerial skill consisting of a front somersault with a half twist. The twist changes the performer’s orientation so the landing can be visually prepared during the latter part of the somersault. It is used in trampolining, tumbling, gymnastics, and other acrobatic disciplines, where the skill may be performed in different body shapes and connected to additional jumps or somersaults.
