description Piked Full Out Overview
Piked full out is an advanced tumbling element consisting of two backward saltos performed in a piked body position, with a full twist completed during the second salto. The athlete must maintain the pike while controlling both the somersaulting and twisting rotations before preparing for landing. It is used in high-level acrobatic and gymnastics routines and requires substantial height, spatial awareness, and landing precision.
help Piked Full Out FAQ
What does a piked full out mean in acrobatics?
It describes a double backward salto performed in a piked body position, with one full 360-degree twist completed during the second salto. The term full out identifies the timing of the twist, not a separate third rotation.
How is a piked full out different from a full in?
In a full in, the 360-degree twist occurs during the first rotation of the double salto. In a full out, the twist is delayed until the second rotation.
Why is the piked position difficult in a full out?
Piking brings the legs forward and reduces the compact shape available for controlling rotation. The athlete must still complete two back saltos and finish the twist before locating the landing.
Is a piked full out a floor exercise skill or a trampoline skill?
The terminology is used most clearly in trampoline and tumbling descriptions, although related full-out skills can appear in floor tumbling. The exact difficulty value depends on the governing discipline and the applicable Code of Points.
