1 & 1/4 front somersaults to feet from back drop with an early 1/2 twist.
Like Barani ball out, but the twist happens at the start, instead of at the end.
Baby Flif can be thought of as a cradle then back pull-over in one move. View move in our coaching skills forum...
[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. View move in our coaching skills forum...
Barrel roll
Another name for 'side-somersault'
Bed
The part of the trampoline that you bounce on. The bed is made up of bands of material. The width of these bands contributes to how bouncy the trampoline is. The narrower the bands on the bed, the bouncer the trampoline. Beds usually come in the following sizes; 6mmx4mm, 6mm, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch.
Frame work & mats attached the end of the trampoline to catch the trampolininst if they should fall off the end. They are only intended to be used in an emergency and should not deliberately be jumped on!
When forward rotating move end further back than it starts, or when a backward rotating move ends further forwards than it starts. Travel in the opposite direct to the move.
E.g. Front somersault lands behind the take-off position.
The opposite of travel
Somersault from front (or back) landing, where a double contact is made. The legs hit the trampoline bed momentarily after the body, causing rotation in the other direction.

Manual support device to help pupils learn somersaulting moves. Ropes attach to a belt around the pupils waist. Through pulleys in the roof, the coach is able to stop the trampolinist from falling too fast and injuring themselves.

Transfer of momentum
The 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.
Travel
When 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.
The opposite of gain
Turntable
front drop full turn to front drop - this move rotates around the dorso-ventral axis (rotates sideways around your tummy!)
