Barani Ballout[Sometimes called a Ballout Barani]
1 & 1/4 Front sommersault from back drop (landing on feet) with a half twist (at the end). If the twist were done at the start (think of it in terms of cradle, back pullover in one move) it would be a baby flif. This has the same rotation, simply done with an earlier twist.
It is more common to perform a barani ballout than a baby flif.

Transfer of momentumThe passing on of momentum from one body to another or from part of a body to the whole. In trampolining momentum can be set up in one part no the body and then transferred to the whole body by muscular action.
E.g. In a cody kick, the momentum from the swing of the legs gets transferred to the whole body when the muscles are used to lock the body straight.
E.g; a trampolinist falling off the trampoline often causes the spotter to fall because the trampolinist has transferred some of his momentum to the spotter.
TravelWhen backward rotating move ends further back than it starts, or when a forward rotating move ends further forwards than it starts. This usually happens when you 'throw' a move.
E.g. Front somersault lands behind the take-off position.
