description Cody Overview

The Cody is an advanced skill in competitive trampolining characterized by a somersault executed immediately from a drop position. In this move, the athlete bounces off the trampoline bed on their stomach or back and uses the rebound to initiate a forward or backward rotation. It serves as a variation of standard drop recoveries and requires precise timing and spatial awareness to maintain control and height during the aerial maneuver.
