Frontflip

A forward tuck somersault taken off the bed of a garden trampoline. From an upright stand with the arms overhead, the arms throw up and forward and then drive down while the chin closes to the chest, the hips and heels pull up, and the shins are grabbed with the knees apart to tuck tight and spin fast. The tuck opens as the ground comes back into view so the feet can be found for a stand-up landing. The trampoline's bounce makes the rotation easy to get, which is also the trap: leaning on the bed lets the arm throw and hip lift stay lazy, so the flip stalls or under-rotates the moment it moves to a firmer surface. Losing the chin, tucking with the legs squeezed shut, or opening early are the usual causes of a flat or short landing.
