Double Full

Double Full

The Double Full is a trampoline move that comprises a single (normally straight) back somersault with two full twists. This move also may be executed on the ground in rapid succession as a cheerleading/gymnastics/acrobatics routine.

Compared to a full back (full twisting back somersault), a double full is a more advanced move not often seen in high grade routines because it has only 360o of somersault rotation.

The rotation generated from a full back is sped up by the performer sharply and tightly bringing the arms down to the sides and holding a straight body position. OTher variations of speeding the twist up can also include folding the arms one above the other across the mid section or crossing the arms to form an "X" shape across the chest - the latter of which is becoming less common due to its safety debates.

Double fulls are usually performed in the straight position, however can be performed in both tucked and piked shapes. The straight shape is used more common however as it helps to slow the somersault rotation down. As somersault rotation is sped up greatly with the element of twist added, it is necessary not to generate a great deal of rotation, especially as there is a great deal of twist rotation involved in the move.

It is very hard to do.
