Full Twist (Trampoline)

description Full Twist (Trampoline) Overview

In trampoline terminology, a full twist is a complete 360-degree rotation around the athlete's longitudinal axis during a jump. The athlete takes off from the trampoline bed, turns through one full spin while maintaining a controlled body position, and lands facing the original direction. It is a twisting skill rather than a named flip, although a full twist can also be combined with somersaulting in more complex elements.

help Full Twist (Trampoline) FAQ

What is a full twist on a trampoline?

A full twist is one complete 360-degree rotation around the athlete's longitudinal axis during a jump. The athlete lands facing the original direction if the twist is completed cleanly.

Does a full twist change the direction of travel on the trampoline?

The twist changes the athlete's body orientation in the air, but a completed full twist turns exactly 360 degrees. The intended landing direction is therefore the same as at takeoff.

When does a gymnast perform the twist in a full twist?

The athlete takes off from the trampoline bed and rotates during the flight phase. The skill requires body control so the gymnast completes the rotation before landing.

Is a full twist the same as a half twist?

No, a full twist is a 360-degree rotation, while a half twist is 180 degrees. The full twist therefore requires one complete turn around the longitudinal axis.
