help Rigby (Trampoline) FAQ
What makes the Rigby different from an ordinary trampoline somersault?
The Rigby combines multiple twists and rotations in one aerial flight, so it is identified by the exact combination of body movement rather than by a simple jump height. It belongs to the difficulty-focused vocabulary of competitive trampoline gymnastics.
Is the Rigby performed on a trampoline or on artistic gymnastics apparatus?
The Rigby is a trampoline element, not a high-bar or floor exercise skill. Its difficulty is evaluated alongside execution and time-of-flight factors in trampoline competition.
Why is the Rigby difficult to perform cleanly?
The gymnast must control twisting and somersaulting at the same time while preserving a safe landing position. A small timing error can disrupt both the rotation and the landing phase.
Would a beginner learn the Rigby early in trampoline training?
No. Coaches normally build toward complex multiple-rotation skills through simpler somersaults, twists, and landing drills before attempting a Rigby. The element requires advanced aerial awareness and consistent trampoline control.
