help Triffus (Trampoline) FAQ
What is a Triffus on trampoline?
A Triffus, also spelled Triffis, is a triple somersault combined with at least a half twist during the aerial phase. It is an advanced trampoline skill because the athlete must control three rotations while also managing longitudinal twist.
Is Triffus the same as Triffis?
The two spellings are commonly used for the same trampoline maneuver. Triffis is especially common in competition and media coverage, while Triffus also appears in technical descriptions.
Why is a Triffus difficult to perform?
The athlete must generate enough height for three somersaults and add a twist without losing orientation. The landing must be prepared from a rapidly changing body position, so timing and aerial awareness are critical.
How is a Triffus different from a triple somersault?
A triple somersault contains three rotations without the defining twist component. A Triffus adds at least a half twist, making it a more complex element than a straight triple somersault.
