description Trampoline Double Back Overview
A trampoline double back is an advanced aerial skill in which the gymnast completes two backward somersaults during a single flight. It may be performed in tucked, piked, or straight body positions, with the chosen shape affecting rotation speed and technical difficulty. The performer must generate sufficient height, maintain spatial awareness through both rotations, open at the correct moment, and return to the trampoline bed under control.
help Trampoline Double Back FAQ
What is a trampoline double back?
A trampoline double back is an aerial skill in which the gymnast completes two backward somersaults during one flight. It is an advanced movement requiring strong takeoff height and precise body control.
Can a trampoline double back be tucked or piked?
Yes. It can be performed in tucked, piked, or straight body positions. A tighter body shape generally allows faster rotation, while straighter positions demand greater control and airtime.
How many rotations are in a double back?
The skill contains two backward somersaults in a single aerial phase. That is twice the backward somersault rotation of a standard single back.
Why is a trampoline double back difficult?
The gymnast must generate enough height to complete two rotations and still prepare for a controlled landing. Small errors in takeoff angle or body shape can disrupt the landing position.
