Cody

A cody is a backflip taken from a stomach landing: the body bounces flat off the stomach and the bed's rebound plus a hard leg snap carries it backward over the top to the feet. The rotation comes from the legs winding back and snapping down while the shoulders pull back and the hips swing underneath, with the core braced so upper and lower body move as one piece. The feet must never brush the bed on takeoff — kicking the bed is the number one reason a cody stalls mid-flip. The head stays neutral throughout: staring down at the bed traps the chest in front of the hips, and throwing the head back to spot early opens the body into a slow arch. Coaches build it from straight-body stomach-to-back bounces and low pullovers landing on the stomach, and have the sideways bail-out — looking over a shoulder and collapsing flat — practiced before the full rotation is ever attempted.
