description Front Full Trampoline Overview
The front full is a trampoline skill that combines a forward somersault with a full, or 360-degree, twist. The performer completes the salto while rotating around the body’s longitudinal axis and aims to maintain a controlled body position during takeoff, rotation, and landing. It is used in trampoline and related acrobatic training, generally by athletes who already have reliable forward somersault technique and sufficient aerial awareness.
help Front Full Trampoline FAQ
What is a front full on trampoline?
It's a forward somersault combined with a full, 360-degree twist around the body's longitudinal axis. The performer completes the salto while twisting and aims for a controlled body position through takeoff, rotation, and landing.
How does a front full compare to a barani or a rudi?
The twist count is the difference: a barani is a front somersault with a half twist, a front full has a full 360-degree twist, and a rudi stretches to one and a half. The front full sits in the middle of that classic twisting progression.
What's the progression for learning a front full?
Coaches usually build it from a strong front tuck, then a barani, before adding the remaining half twist to reach the full. Training happens on trampoline with spotters, focusing on setting the somersault first and twisting after leaving the bed.
Is the front full used in competition?
Yes, front twisting skills are core vocabulary in FIG trampoline, tumbling, and diving routines. A related benchmark skill is the 'full-in,' a double somersault with the full twist packed into the first rotation.
