Full twisting layout

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A full twisting layout, also called a full twist or a full is a gymnastics move similar to a piked full twist. It is an advanced move!

In order to be in good condition to try this skill, some skills are required; these include:

• roundoff
• back handspring
• back tuck
• layout

as well as being able to do a flatback full twist, and a half twisting layout. Many people claim that an Arabian front is harder to land than a full, because it is landing forward. This skill is not necessary.

[edit] Popularity

This skill is introduced in floor routines in levels 6 and 7. It is legal for competition in level 7. It is typically not done on the beam until later levels, but it is commonly done as a vault, in the form of a Yurchenko or Tsukahara. This is one of the basic skills in the upper levels of gymnastics.

This is also a popular skill in cheerleading, and is legal starting in level 5. Some stunts include doing a full, such as a full basket-toss.
