description Double Full (Layout Double Twist) Overview

A double full, also called a layout double twist, is a tumbling skill in which an athlete completes a backward somersault in a straight-body position while making two longitudinal twists. Each twist is a full 360-degree rotation around the body's head-to-foot axis, rather than a horizontal rotation. The skill appears in artistic gymnastics, trampoline, cheerleading, and related acrobatic disciplines, usually within a connected tumbling pass.

It has two full twists, totaling 720 degrees of longitudinal rotation. The athlete is also completing one backward somersault in a layout position.

Which axis is used for the twists in a double full?

The twists use the body's longitudinal head-to-foot axis. The skill combines that rotation with a backward somersault in a straight-body layout.
