description Trampoline Back Full Overview

The trampoline back full is a backward somersault combined with one complete 360-degree twist. The skill is performed in the air during trampoline gymnastics, with the twist completed while the athlete is moving through the back somersault. It is identified by the direction of the somersault and the single full twist, and it requires controlled takeoff, spatial awareness, and a stable landing.

help Trampoline Back Full FAQ

What exactly is a back full on the trampoline?

It is a backward somersault combined with one complete 360-degree twist, with the twist completed during the somersault in the air. It is one of the fundamental twisting skills in trampoline gymnastics.

What should I master before attempting a trampoline back full?

A confident, consistent back somersault is the prerequisite, followed by half-twisting progressions such as a late half-out. Coaches typically have athletes initiate the twist only after the set and opening at the top of the bounce.

What do the terms full-in and full-out mean in trampolining?

They describe where the twist occurs in multi-somersault skills: a full-in puts the full twist in the first somersault, while a full-out puts it in the last. The back full is the building block that leads into both.

How do I add the twist without drifting off the trampoline?

Twisting too early pulls the skill off-line, so the twist should start after the opening phase at the peak of the somersault. Training with a somersault belt or into a foam pit lets athletes drill the timing safely before landing it on the bed.
