description Lazy Back (Trampoline) Overview
The lazy back is a trampoline element performed from a backdrop, in which the athlete leaves the back and completes a backward somersault before returning to the trampoline. It is generally treated as an intermediate skill because it requires control of body position, rotation, and landing timing. In routines, it can serve as a linking movement between backdrop skills and other somersault-based elements.
help Lazy Back (Trampoline) FAQ
What is a lazy back on a trampoline?
A lazy back starts from a backdrop, where the athlete is lying on the back, and continues into a backward somersault before returning to the trampoline. It requires control of the takeoff, body shape, and landing.
Is the lazy back a beginner trampoline skill?
It is generally treated as an intermediate skill rather than a first trampoline move. Athletes should already control basic backdrop work and backward rotation before attempting it.
What position does the athlete start in for a lazy back?
The athlete starts from a backdrop, with the back contacting the trampoline. From that position, they create enough lift and rotation to complete the backward somersault.
What makes a lazy back difficult?
The athlete must connect a back landing to a controlled backward rotation while judging height and timing. Losing body position can cause an uncontrolled landing, so coaching and suitable safety equipment matter.
