Tutorial - How to do a GOOD Barani (front flip half twist) w/ Olympic Silver Medallist David Morris

How to do a GOOD Barani (front-half).
Unfortunately many people teach themselves (or are told) to do a "roundoff in the air" which is completely wrong. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.
Usually the first inverted twisting skill people perform, it's good to get it right and set up good habits for all twisting skills.
**watch to the end to see why I like having proper padding around trampolines**
Here is how to learn it properly, step by step so that you will be able to add more twists successfully.
Thanks again to BOUNCEinc​ for your great facilities.
Have fun flipping and twisting safely!

[@miriamjordan7737]

Who else is completely self taught but learning this?!?!

[@yomama1169]

Me

[@kaydieoneil5142]

How did you learn it

[@miriamjordan7737]

Person 16 I just kinda did a round off aerial with my feet together!! Once I got some serious air and did a full....I was so freaking happy 😃

[@BrodyBingham]

I was, but I couldn’t do it anymore

[@memepower940]

Me!

[@danihinkle9387]

I did the roundoff with no hands thing when I was younger and twisted the wrong way 😬 Then I started competitive trampoline and had to re-learn it. Wish I would have seen this video a few years ago lol.

[@skammercury827]

Dani Hinkle SAME!

[@IwoGda]

Same!

[@wcsdiaries]

does it matter which way you twist? i thought you can twist either way?

[@speckydecky]

@@wcsdiaries you can twist whatever way you want but what they’re saying was that they twist the wrong way because it’s not their preferred twisting direction

[@EEeE3771]

Great explanation on why it isnt a roundoff

[@aerialskier]

the arguments i have with people about this... ugh so i'm glad it makes sense

[@tronkski]

This is a great tutorial. Former Parallel Bars and High Bar U.S. National champion who learned almost everything from having a Nissen 4x8 tramp in my back yard from age 4 to 19. I've given lectures on twisting direction and how round-off and flipping-twisting are not what people think they should be. Physics is your friend if you don't want to continually land on your head because you get lost in the air. I know this is a 6 year old video, but it's timeless and I'm glad you made it.

[@SilentRio]

I think the physics pr attempting to comprehend it can be confusing so it is best to just trust the process and what your coach says! Haha

[@danielpena1525]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I finally landed it after not being able to turn all the way.YOU ARE THE GOAT

[@ImJusJae]

Thank you for this video. My daughter does TNT and this helped me understand the barani. I was one of the people that thought it was a round-off in the air...oops! She will soon be moving up to level six on the double-mini and in practicing the barani her coach would tell her if it feels weird, you're doing it right lol now I get the logic behind the statement. The more I know, the more I can help her grow ☺

[@TaviTheGleek]

Thank you for this! I’m trying to learn new front skills and this is such a great tutorial! I can’t wait to give it a go at bounce!

[@yakkyuu12]

WELL, Finally a person with decent progressions AND who understands you should NEVER learn a Barani like a round -off !!! ( really baroni-- Italian gymnast its named after) Watch and learn people!!

[@aerialskier]

sadly there are a lot of terrible ones on here telling people how to do awful skills

[@alainduchesne9750]

Excellent tutorial. By far the best on KZbin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@binkmoog]

This is a great tutorial as it helps with general twisting on trampoline as well as the barani. I see so many people who try twisting moves and don't have any idea of the body mechanics behind how it works. Once you understand, it's much easier to learn. 🖒

[@summer69guy]

perfect video...i was able to do it both sides... but now i will keep the left one for security purpose

[@sonnyyoung3534]

Such a good explanation!

[@AFiB1999]

Good times of Barani out... I always landed bad. Nice step by step!

[@stephen31edwards]

just found your videos and I gotta tell you I love them! I went from coaching artistic gymnastics to power tumbling and you videos make it easier for me to better understand the skills I'm not too keen on. Thanks brother

[@amandachisholm1816]

It worked😮❤

[@e.paulwileyto5574]

When I'm coaching this stuff, I start by identifying each athlete as a right or left twister. Then I know if I should see stomach or back. For the athlete, perspective changes as they move from right side up to upside down. Same with twisting while rotating forward versus backwards. Perspective sometimes presents the athlete with the illusion that they are twisting in the opposite direction. I have this argument all the time, where an athlete will tell me that, "I twist left going backwards, but right going forwards." Then I look and see whether I see stomach or back, and I find that they are actually twisting the same direction while flipping forwards and backwards.

[@DJP123]

Thank you

[@SilentRio]

Brilliant video. I did think it was a round off in my mind. Would be interesting to see or hear how Barani (i assume it is the name of the aerialist who ‘discovered’ the move) came across it. Was it a mistake or 💡during a physics class after a trampoline session?!!)

[@galblachman841]

I am trying a lot to get a good Barani but the max I can turn is 90 degrees max, I have tried two of the sides and I am sure I am trying it from the right side, but still I can be able to get enough spin.

[@aerialskier]

well without seeing it i could only guess, but generally most people have a broken body line - as in you're too arched or to hunched in your body shape. if you go through the drills and especially think about being tall from head to toe and body in a tight straight line, the arm drop will make you spin with little effort. make sure you wait long enough before dropping, do it really late (if you have a foam pit to land in) to ensure that you set a good take off first. good luck

[@galblachman841]

Great just did it today perfectly! Thanks for the tips and great videos. Love 'em all keep on with the great work :)

[@wha_6378]

I somehow learned how to do a barani on a trampoline while trying to make up some new tricks

[@jem57098]

Wow, this is so interesting. I round off right footed, and turn to the right (clockwise) always. I've been doing a round off in the air for ages and can't even imagine going the other way in the air :O Can't wait to try it later this week. (self taught, casual flipper for dance purposes) Edit: now I think. I turn to the right. Swivel hip to the left. Oh man, now I'm confused.

[@supersmiley2278]

THANKYOU! I did tumbling at BTYC about three years ago and I had forgotten my baranis, instead I assumed it was a round off in the air like you said. I've begun improving but the differ in rotation for me still feels a little odd but definitely improving. I'll be doing tumbling at a cheerleading gymnasium soon and hopefully get back into it. Will you be doing a full twist in the near future?

[@aerialskier]

SuperSmiley22 i'm glad. It bothers me when people try and learn from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, then I have to fix them. I hope it goes well, any questions, do ask

[@tropical2290]

Thank u it help a lot

[@martynasausage6470]

I learned it off of a trampoline onto a resi and recently learned it on the floor. All I did was a really powerful roundoff turning my hips really hard. Then eventually stopped using my hands! Hope this helps!

[@aerialskier]

that's actually the opposite of what you want to do, because a "roundoff" twists the wrong way, you'll discover this if you ever do double flips with twists

[@olisutton7379]

Near the end u nearly done a front full I’m gonna practise this trick much more now

[@Omfgwhtavid]

I never got taught barani like this, and when I learnt straight barani they just said "do a barani, but straight". I'm so glad I've seen this video because I have been trying to complete a rudi for so long with no success, it all makes sense to me why I cannot seem to twist enough and why I also travel a lot, now.

[@aerialskier]

yes unfortunately too many peopel are taught how to do it completely wrong and can never do anything more than a half twist :(

[@Omfgwhtavid]

David Morris Aerial Skier Well two tries after watching this and I got it, it's so simple now it makes sense

[@teesmith3460]

I am taught it right (front sumi and last second twist??-via coach shouting twist) but i am still having a hard time with front full i have done it a few times (i think) but i fond it really tricky

[@user-fg4nb3lr3d]

I can do a barani! But I am very confused in doing front full. I know that my layout is not straight enough to spin well. I still wanna see your tutorial online. That helps a lot! Would you please take the video of front full?

[@aerialskier]

do the barani with just one arm from as shown in the video and do it with a little more power and then hold that position and you will spin the whole way around, it'll look funny with having on earm still above your head but once you figure out what it feels like and know where you are you can make it look nicer by wrapping your second arm into your body. the drill are exactly the same as a barani but you just stay in the twist longer :)

[@jaffajake8291]

When doing a front tuck barani and straight into a back tuck somersault in the same bounce, is the rule still the same of twisting after the first somersault with the kick out or can you start twisting in the first somersault as soon as you start the bounce? Let me know if you dont understand what i mean

[@Whoisin3]

Have you tried a front sault half twist back sault? It would take good height but think you could probably do it.

[@pinwizard3008]

I‘be been trying to learn the Barani for months (off a trampoline into a crash mat). I stick a front tuck all the time, but I am confused on which way I should be twisting and when. I get lost in the air and then am afraid to try again because for some reason, I’m not able to see the ground when I’m rotating (which I know is terrible, but I want to learn this badly). I do my round offs/cartwheels leading with my right foot if that helps. Anymore specific tips would be greatly appreciated. You have a great tutorial, but I wish I could see some results. Thanks!

[@weirdesttoptenz267]

when firs t learning a barani do you start turning a quarter either left or right and gradually through to the half twist,full turn or rudi is it also safer to learn them of d.m.t before tramp so you can do it on to the mat as you land if you fall rather than the fly way because that was how i was taught

[@aerialskier]

always safer to learn into a pit where it's less likely to twist your knees up on landing. hard surfaces are always a little more dangerous, but so are upside down skills. someone should learn how to stop bouncing and also how to land properly before attempting anything on trampoline or a mat. most people can handle a 1/4 turn, and then add to it, unless you're talented and you just want to go for a half twist.

[@christiankvist3739]

I need some help. I can consistently do a front sault with a 1/4 twist. I cant seem to gelt it to 1/2. What do you suppose i do?

[@moanilsson3448]

Why does other tutorials made by noobs in their backyards have millions of views and this well made one only 13 000? Very good tutorial is what I wanted to say.

[@aerialskier]

i ask myself this daily... but feel free to share it around so people stop learning it the wrong way from the noobs :P

[@TeKaMOTO]

Probably because no one who's trying to learn a front flip with a half twist googles "barani" because they don't even know such a word exists and the title of this video only that. I know I didn't. I got here through the recommended sidebar after watching a few of those backyard noobs. Maybe you should change the title of the video to something that people actually search for and you'd get higher in the search results. Like "How to: Front flip half twist - Trampoline tutorial"

[@mrvestiiq8290]

tried my first barani today got it within about 7 tries it is super easy.

[@aerialskier]

fantastic to hear

[@basil_jackson]

How would those moves that are far less chaotic and random than you see in tricking tutorials translate to floor tumbling? I started practicing on trampolines a while ago and am wondering if with a bit of being careful it will be possible to do those on ground with same technique or will I have to apply some of that tricking wonkery?

[@aerialskier]

it would be challenging to do this exact technique on ground without a gymnastics sprung floor, it can for sure be done but the exaggerated movements take more time and you need more rotation to do them well. Generally they're cut short to allow for on ground skills but the general fundamentals are the same. There would just be more contact style twists rather than initiating spins in the air.

[@armforce2345]

I'm a very curious student, and I want to learn the physics of talking the hands by the body and how the twist in barani is affevted!

[@aislingbyrne9281]

by this logic, could I (a right twister) model my right twisting straight barani off of a left round-off? it's not my natural round-off side but seems easier to wrap my head around than the straight front with a half twist combo

[@aerialskier]

By all means you can round-off on which ever leg you like and twist whichever way you want. Left leg round-off into right twist will just not flow as nicely but using the correct technique you can still definitely do this very well. You are one of the few people who do this and so if you've learned 'round off in the air' - and you also back twist right, you're twisting the same direction both times so there are no issues. Arm drop techniques on how to backfull - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGXEo2SQot9_ptU For a barani you'll drop your left arm to the side, for back full you'll drop you right arm to the side.

[@alistairwinn8057]

hey i am tying to go back to basics to brush up on skills, with my barani i find i am dropping my chest a little and giving my heels too late, how can i best ensure that my barani is straight the whole way around? is it by squeezing glutes, lower back and giving heels early off the bed, with head and chest up? or is height the key? i would like to be as technically perfect as possible

[@aerialskier]

+Alistair Winn, as shown, practice handsprings/flysprings to generate good heel drive. Throwing your chest down means you're lacking rotation, this may mean you're too low and/or have not generated enough flip from your heels. When practicing front layouts try and get a slight arch, keep your eyes on a fixed spot on the tramp for as long as possible. You will need to take off in a slightly scooped shape to start the rotation but then you want to add heels straight off the tramp, open your chest and get tall through you head. Try doing the front layout with your arms up the whole time to see if you have enough power, then start twisting

[@alistairwinn8057]

I get the arch and enough heel drive to go with arms up the whole way, but I feel like the heel drive comes on late, possibly due to having my arms at an angle that is slightly forward and head slightly forward, where as I noticed yours are behind your head, almost, as you reach the beds limit ( sinking into the bounce). So I should try to have my arms back as far as I can as I come off the tramp and think about squeezing my ass and lower back as the bounce sends me up transitioning from having legs bent to straight ( whilst I'm still in contact with the tramp on the way up)

[@aerialskier]

+Alistair Winn always arms up on takeoff. basically your shoulders will follow wherever your arms are pointing, if you want to go up, aim them up. you get rotation from a slightly hollow chest

[@sircalava9464]

I'm a little confused, I am a lefty when doing roundoffs but when I do a full twist (forward) I pull down my left arm so I'm a right twister? I'm trying to learn my back full as well for a very long time, preferably a back full after a roundoff, but which side should I twist to since I'm a lefty in roundoffs and a right twister. I also performed a barani as a roundoff without hands until now.. I hope u can help me with my struggles cuz I don't have a coach since I'm self taught.

[@aerialskier]

ya you've taught yourself the roundoff in the air, as do most people, if you can actually make a full twist forwards to the right then you're clearly doing something right. dropping the left arm will twist you properly. there are a few 1%s that do twist right when i'd think they'd twist left, and if you're efficient spinning right then spin right. as long as you're not doing vault in gymnastics or plan on doing a 1.5 back twist into a stepout roundoff then you won't have any issues. make sure you barani is in fact, a barani with an arm drop, not just a roundoff, practice the front sault kick out half twist drill. when you full make sure it's using your arms to twist, and then for backwards, you're going to drop your right arm. You'll have to adjust your roundoff and make sure you're completely square when you push off you hands to your feet. one way to do this is as your hands reach to the ground, rotate a full 180 so the end of your round off looks like you're coming straight backwards like out of a flip, then the twisting direction won't matter

[@sircalava9464]

David Morris Aerial Skier thanks for the reply, I won't be performing a yurchenko at vault ever so I think that solves all the vault problems? I also figured if I would do a roundoff --> 1,5 back twist --> full front twist, twisting to the right side on all elements (except for the roundoff, where I put my left foot in front) would not be a problem. However twisting to the left on the back 1,5 and to the right on the full front would be a problem since I would have to switch twisting direction. Thanks for the advices tho I will try to put them to work for sure.

[@TheBestRandomDuo]

Could you make a front flip 360 tutorial

[@tomkeys3755]

I can't seem to get enough rotation I am swinging my right arm across my body and following with my head and purely basing it on that as I don't really understand the twisting motion you are able to do. A response would be great.

[@aerialskier]

not getting enough rotation means you need to practice more front layouts. your arms should never swing across your body, nothing should move across your body at all, that will break your body line, the arm only drops to the side. given you're dropping your right arm that means'you're a left twister, it should just drop to the side, and your stomach will turn to face the wall on your left. you must set a front layout first before twisting, if you throw across your body i'm guessing you're twisting straight off the trampoline and therefore cutting off your rotation, wait longer before dropping the arm to the side.

[@achillestheconqueror8772]

I Did It Thanks Man Now I Can Skip 2-3 Pads Doing It W/ My Kids At Skyzone🤣

[@aerialskier]

let's be honest, beating your kids it literally the only thing that matters here!

[@achillestheconqueror8772]

No Teaching Them Is My Main Priority

[@timazguy]

The skill here in NZ when you are in the middle of learning a barani, is called a crash dive..... when you go straight up, and land on your shoulders, before the half twist to your back. Is it called different elsewhere? Or does saying crash dive sound scary so you didn't say it?? I did both gymnastics then trampolining from young. Like 4years old...

[@maddiefisher896]

I'm right footed and right handed, which way am I supposed to twist in a barani? I read online that right footed people twist to the left and left footed people twist to the right? But I've been twisting to the right, have I been twisting the right way?

[@aerialskier]

there are no "rules" for which way to twist. you can twist whichever way you prefer. For particular sports and skills you need to twist in a certain direction which may relate to which foot you put forward in a cartwheel. But other than that you go with whatever feels natural to you. *note* of course - as mentioned in the video, doing a roundoff style skill in the air, isn't the correct way to do it, but still may be the direction you end up twisting. Rule#1 - don't believe everything you read online, most people making these videos really do not know what they're talking about (i'm right footed and right handed and twist left) As a (non conclusive test), run towards a wall, touch it and the run back in the other direction, also sit down with your legs straight in front of you and quickly get up and run behind you, and generally you will turn in the direction that your body wants to twist (not a definitive rule, but for anyone questioning things, sometimes that can work) either way, decide for yourself, just do it with good technique

[@schirmeyerb]

He is really good...if only I was young..without ARTHROSE............Lot of good souvenirs for me.....And I see..he take plaisirs to do it

[@jonathansilva5078]

Question. So my roundoff and my barani are spinning opposite ways (like you said) but when I tumble out of a barani instead of a roundoff, should I do my normal barani just short and long? Or should I spin the opposite way as if I’m doing a roundoff with no hands?

[@aerialskier]

If you're tumbling then it is not as important which way you go because the contact with the ground after the barani will allow twisting in either direction. One will probably feel smoother and easier but if the barani is squared-off and very straight then there shouldn't be any problems.

[@aerialskier]

regardless, it's probably still a good habit to have everything twisting the same way, you will have better movement patterns when landing all twists if it's all the same.

[@jonathansilva5078]

@@aerialskier thanks!

[@katiegottfried6440]

I just stared to work on my front half and when I do it, I keep my legs straight at all times. But I often see people tuck their knees at the very beginning of the skill before straightening out. Am I doing it correctly?

[@aerialskier]

yep just a different position, straighter will be better for more twists later

[@aplant5174]

So I can turn the full 180 but I’m not getting enough height so I keep touching the ground with my hands, but also my feet land behind me so what can I do to fix these problems?

[@aerialskier]

i'd have to see a video, but it sounds like you're not getting enough rotation from takeoff. upload a video and send me the link

[@dattrollr8655]

when doing the barani can u just flip and extend one arm out to spin

[@aerialskier]

that depends. if you mean, lift one arm all the way up to the side or drop one all the way to the side, then yes. If you leave it sticking out to the side it'll create some twist but then also slow you down because it's a long way away from your body, so that will make it overly difficult. but if you do it right, then yes, you can do that

[@dattrollr8655]

David Morris Aerial Skier so if I do that can I stick it out when I'm untucking and then stuck and arm out to spin

[@coachmarc2002]

I'm confused. A left footed round off twists to the right. Why say they should twist left backwards?

[@saturnjer6096]

I have my barani but I twist way to early is there anyway I can learn to twist later?

[@aerialskier]

tucked and pike baranis will force you to do it

[@sumtinwrong683]

I do roundoff’s on my right side but I twist to the left. Not really sure if that’s a good or bad thing. Is it bad?

[@aerialskier]

typically that's not what i would expect but there's no reason that it HAS to be the way i say, it'll probably help you doing barani in the right direction, but won't be super helpful if you were ever going to do any twisting vaults in gymnastics or twists into a step-out roundoff. It flows better if you're a left foot roundoff and a left twister but it doesn't mean it can't be done Otherwise, unless you're having issues twisting, or twist backwards to the right and forwards to the left, nothing to worry about.

[@sumtinwrong683]

David Morris Aerial Skier Alright ,thanks. I was a bit worried about that, I didn’t want to have to re-learn anything.

[@euvink9381]

Hi, I need this question to be answered please. So, when I'm doing my rudy/rudi, SOME days, I can land it every time flawlessly. Then there are OTHER days where I land it 1/10 ratio of attempts and it is extremely frustrating. Today, it happened again where I just couldn't land it every time I wanted to. I've been thinking hard about it, and I think it might be what I ate before I went to practice. I know for a solid fact that the days where I could literally just do the rudy easily, I didn't eat junk/ or I didn't eat much in general i don't know. But today prior to practice, I ate pretty bad stuff, like chicken, potato wedges, and mac n cheese (Yeah just unhealthy stuff). Do you think that even food affects the brain activity and like how well you can twist and flip? Cause that's the only reason that I could think of, since I already know how to rudy usually. Also, what are the best type of foods in your opinion to consume before flipping/twisting??? I really want to try this because I'm still learning. Thanks

[@euvink9381]

Also keep in mind that I literally ate this junk and waited to digest for like less than 5 minutes before flipping. So basically I started flipping around 5 minutes right after eating my dinner. I feel like that's bad to do, but I didn't get a cramp so

[@aerialskier]

definitely does not effect your ability to do anything unless you have no energy or you're dehydrated and therefore not able to concentrate enough

[@euvink9381]

i see thank you, now i know that isn't a problem! Also i realise that when i rudy, i lean forward WAY too much before i even bounce off. Basically, my set is wrong. May you please describe how I should set to do rudy(and randy+). What I think people do to spin that fast is to not focus on throwing their arms down, but rather to the side. I'm not sure how they get enough power to flip, but in videos, I see them leaning forward while looking over the shoulder. I'm a little confused.

[@sarauot]

whaat i didn't understand should i twist to left or to right ?? i am right handed but left foot i guess

[@aerialskier]

you can pick a direction, whichever feels more natural to you

[@louisnotman-watt7474]

Anyone know how to barani into water because I couldn’t process my moves going into water

[@ericpetersen6997]

You seem to be treating Barani as equal to a Laid Out Half. I’ve always considered them to distinct skills, in which the Barani relied heavily on Cat Back twisting technique - a strong hollow position at take off, followed by heal drive to an arch body that then Cat Back twists like a Swivel Hips - while a Laid Out Half relies on tilting the axis, the way you’ve described in this video. Thinking of it this way, the Barani (Cat Back) might be more accessible to learn, but doesn’t readily progress to a Full or beyond, while the Laid Out Full (Tilt Axis) is more challenging but progresses into Fulls more readily. Does this approach have any validity? (I’m okay with you telling me I’m just plain wrong-I’m asking so I can learn what I don’t know!-but I’d love if you can expound more on how/why!)

[@aerialskier]

The names themselves are irrelevant, you could make up whatever name you want to call both skills and it wouldn't matter, the tuck and pike 1/2 out is really good for teaching how to be patient and not twist too early and it's a half "out" not a half "in", and that timing would then be used in the straight body line where it's extremely easy to twist too early. So yes it is a build up, but the tilt technique will be the most efficient for getting more than a half twist, though trampolinists use a combo of both when kicking out of let's say a double front 1/5 twist out. Each has it's purpose and place, and there's always more than one way to learn something, this is just an explanation of what i would suggest is the best way to do it. Good question though.

[@lilangelgames8064]

M8 i do trampolining not tying to criticise but you need to land you somersault with your arms down then bring them up on the next jump

[@aerialskier]

Oh I'm very aware. You're assuming this is purely for trampolinists? what about gymnasts, tumblers, acrobats? This is for how learn it "on" and trampoline, not "for" trampoline

[@nellsinger5515]

is it normal if i roundoff with my left foot and barani twist to the right

[@aerialskier]

there's no normal and abnormal, there are just habits, and some are less helpful. If you do a "roundoff" in the air as a barani, that will be less helpful, if it is a front tuck with a half twist kickout, that's fine, as long as you're always twisting the same way backwards. the problems only come when you combine skills.

[@nellsinger5515]

David Morris Aerial Skier yeah, my barani is a frontsault with the kick out :)

Do you do the same things for rudy/randy's?

[@aerialskier]

yes but different. the physics are the same but you have to initiate it different. Assuming your a leftie, for now as a drill, takeoff with your right arm up next to your head and you left arm down at your side, when you're upsidedown, switch then, lift one up drop the other down at your sides and that will create a very fast twist I'm going to make a video on this because i've had requests.

[@2alsen]

I do freerunning but try to flip 180 is it kinda the same?

[@aerialskier]

+PrintGuinGames a little different for you depending on whether you take off on 1 foot, or 2 feet. that's the different between the "roundoff in the air" and a barani, barani is from two feet, but if you're taking off from one foot you'll (most likely) be twisting the other direction. either way the mechanics are the same

[@2alsen]

well i do both but i am more comfortable with 2 feet

[@kakashi3426]

I did barani‘s for about 2 Years But then one day i twisted way to soon and i hurted my hand a little It felt like I completely lost my orientation and since then i have so much fear of them I still can do it but everytime it takes about 20 minutes until I commit It’s not that I can’t do it It’s just so scary

[@jordanmcgahan4052]

I am trying to do a tuck Barani but i can only turn 90 degrees max, my tramp coach is calling yup when i need to un-tuck and twist but cant turn all the way. I also cant to seat drop half turn seat drop so i think it might be something to do with turning my hips and not my shoulders. Please help would appreciate lots.

[@aerialskier]

you need to be able to seat seat drop halfs and all that stuff before you try it, everything get more complicated when upside down, also i assume you actually don't have enough rotation to actually kick out properly and twist, you need to put in more rotation than you normally would for a back tuck because you're going to kick out earlier into the twist than you normally would in a tuck, and the twist will take some power away from your rotation also. Basics first, if you skip stuff, you will not be able to do all the cool things later, you'll end up relearning it all anyway, so, might as well do it right the first time

[@jordanmcgahan4052]

Ok thank

[@rozemarijn9607]

I was trying to learn myself a full, but it didn't work. Now I know why... I was learning it from the round off barani. Now I'm going to do these steps to get a good one. Twisting to the other side is confusing, but I'll get there. Hopefully.

[@rozemarijn9607]

Flawh I didn't have much time, so I've only practised it twice. It stays weird that I have to do it from a tuck, I'm so used to do it from a roundoff, so it is confusing. How is it going with your barani??

[@rozemarijn9607]

Flawh yes the same for me. It feels scary and I kind of liked the round off with no hands barani, because it was a cool skill to have :')

[@Clopsboy]

I have the same problem, but I managed to learn a front full the wrong way. I used to do the "roundoff barani" and then rotate to the good side, but after i filmed it i managed to actually keep rotating to my wrong side, to get the full, but it always felt so weird and I didn't knew why... I can't do more than a full to my round off side though. I'll practice my opposite side today. :D

[@sophieosu]

You go to the same bounce I do!

[@ilyaporhonar9216]

What’s the difference between a barani and a front half??

[@aerialskier]

No difference, just fancy names.

[@audiocircle1019]

When I try to do a straight barani i always get a tiny bend in the hips that doesnt seem to go away. i manage to go straight after a kickout though :///

[@aerialskier]

+Audio Circle 101 probably means you haven't got enough rotation, and/or you're twisting to early off the trampoline instead of setting a front layout first and using your arms to twist

[@audiocircle1019]

thank you, does make sense ill give it a shot. i find it weird doing layouts going up though, i've been taught them before on the floor and been told that they should be traveling forwards dont know if that makes sense... ha

[@audiocircle1019]

like low and whippy ha

[@aerialskier]

+Audio Circle 101 for floor yes, this makes sense to be low and long, because it's most likely a connection move, so you need the momentum. just make sure you are trying to flip forwards, as in, pull your feet directly over your head so it's at least square when you land

[@jjgillespie346]

I'm not spinning at the part where it throws you arm down

[@aerialskier]

show me. Send me a link to a video

[@taeshook2038]

😂 I learned my BARANI at bounce too

[@sajalchatterjee7493]

Please help backflip 360

[@aerialskier]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGXEo2SQot9_ptU

[@nyexer9278]

I go to the same bounce I when't today

[@ukendt3780]

I hope this help me cause my barani hatet me😂

[@ywoak3288]

Hey i'd love to know how you can do it by dropping both arms like you do at the end :D Please

[@aerialskier]

the second arm just drops at the same time. i drops in the same plane as your flip, so it actually drops forwards in the direction you're flipping, therefore not contributing to any twist

[@ywoak3288]

O yes ok its the same mechanical that you explained in the backfull video, if u drop the arms after turning your body you doesnt rotate, alright big thanks i wasnt expecting an answer that fast, other trampoline tutorial videos coming ?

[@LivPoxleitner]

i accidentally developed a huge problem for myself where 1 day i was thinking front tuck but did a brani. now i cant do a front tuck without thinking im gonna do a brani. and brani now are hard for me to do without thinking im gonna kill myself in the process. this has lead to stopping myself before going and has turned into bad muscle memory.

[@aerialskier]

this happens to the best of us. two things you can do - 1. have a break from it for a few weeks, because you might have just confused your brain from doing so many. 2. start learning it all again from scratch and re teach yourself the things properly, start forwards rolls, and remember the feeling of going straight over to you feet, handstand forward rolls, dive rolls, front tuck and open out to land on your back. start from the start and re-gain the feeling, if you mess up and twist by accident, then start over again. the brain is a hard thing to retrain sometimes, just requires some willpower

[@LivPoxleitner]

TY for the adivce! i think the condition may be called the twistys, or something rather. it can happen with back full too. thx again.

[@liezelwallace2920]

Me it just happened while I was doing random stuff

[@benjaminmehl8951]

but when you are doing the barani you are twisting right and not left :/

[@benjaminmehl8951]

oh fuck im doing it wrong

[@connorknudsen3142]

Hi

[@TH3lilFR0]

Hi David, are you still active? Just wanted to know if there's anywhere I can send a video, as I learnt my barani as a round off, but I can barani to full and rudi/randi so I'm not quite sure what I should be doing now I've watched this video...

[@aerialskier]

link me to a video ;)

[@TH3lilFR0]

David Morris Aerial Skier instagram.com/p/BeqX18Qhotd/?igshid=1cn5xrz57uq72 The only one I've got on hand, thank you.

[@aerialskier]

obviously you have no issues spinning. the question is what if you back twist? given you've taught yourself actually quite well i'm assuming you don't have a problem. the only time this barani/roundoff issue really becomes an issue is when combining skills (especially double flips with twists) or when someone only knows how to twist with the round off hip action, i don't see this problem for you and unless you've come across difficulties then i wouldn't worry too much about it. you twist left, just make sure you also back twist to the left, and you have no worries. Remember this is just a guideline for 99% of people, some people can do stuff weird ways and get away with it, but most can't

[@TH3lilFR0]

I back twist to my left. So I'm a little confused, do I ideally want to barani the other direction? Main reason for asking is I want to start coaching parkour, and trampolines are a useful learning resource, so I'd like to know how to teach the basics properly.

[@aerialskier]

if you front and back twist the same direction you have no issues, you're just one of the small percentage of people who actually do roundoff on the right foot and twist left. i would still teach it the ways you see in this video and others, but be aware that people who've taught themselves twisting from a roundoff will probably twist forwards and backwards different ways. as long as you're aware which direction they're twisting and keep it consistent that should be fine. UNLESS - they want to do twists into a step out round off, you'll find that you're unable to do a back half or rudi into a step out roundoff, because it's the wrong way to smoothly transition.

[@Emily-mm7qv]

This video was very helpful but confused me because there were so many tricks in one video

[@aerialskier]

To be really good at a skill, we must learn the appropriate build up, it may seem overkill but when you progress past that skill your fundamentals will allow you to learn at a faster rate due to your body already knowing how to efficiently move. You could of course just 'do a barani', but if you want to advance to more than a full twist it is challenging without the body awareness. This particular skill forms a lot of bad habits in people which makes more advanced skill much harder later.

[@constra7969]

I round off right but twist left.

[@aerialskier]

unusual. but that means you've probably learned to twist with more correct technique. It's not a big deal unless you're doing yuchenko vaults, or trying to twist and then step out into a roundoff.

[@peequo3222]

every time i do a barani i just do an undershoot front full

[@nyexer9278]

Ok

[@jacobsinger164]

This guy 😂

[@gleventhal]

I taught myself to do this and I just do a roundoff in the air.

[@aerialskier]

That's the same for most people as long as you understand which way you are twisting and ensure that your twist the same direction both forwards and backwards, then it's not a problem

[@gleventhal]

@@aerialskier You look a lot cleaner doing yours. I am probably rotating the second my feet leave the ground, you have more of a 2 distinct motions approach.

[@aerialskier]

@@gleventhal whatever works for you! if you're not having any issues then nothing to worry about but if you'd like to start adding more twists then it might be worth refreshing your technique with some of these tips leading into the multiple twisting videos :)

[@faithjowett9671]

Is he self taught?

[@jackplatt3662]

Faith jowett he's an Olympic gymnast I don't think he would be self taught...

[@faithjowett9671]

Squeaker321 no he's not he's an Olympic skier or something

[@laurenm162]

apparently I've been doing it wrong, but I don't do competitive trampoline. for now I'll just stick to "no handed round offs"

[@aerialskier]

yeh look, this is all about how to do a "good" one, if you don't really care, then by all means continue doing whatever works for you, if you want to in the future, learn to spin faster and further it's best to start practicing now, before it becomes a harder habit to break.

[@laurenm162]

+David Morris Aerial Skier does this apply to the ground? I always learned it the way I said.

[@aerialskier]

it's the same on the ground, but you'd generally do a frontsault kick out into half twist. if i was to show you in person, you'd see doing it the right way is far easier and less wiggly in the air. the 'roundoff in the air' actually ends up trying to twist both ways and is super awkward compared to an actual barani

[@laurenm162]

David Morris Aerial Skier perhaps. the coach at the gym I go to for tumbling told me I was doing it correctly, so it confused me. thanks for the help tho, and sorry for the rudeness on my initial comment ^^;

[@aerialskier]

there was no rudeness, just questions. i don't know your coach, but i know a lot of people who also don't know that it's a thing, and also can't tell the difference between twisting both ways. If it works and you have no issues, don't worry about it, but at some point, most people end up getting stuck because someone didn't notice they're twisting both directions

[@lcdk9869]

U at a trampoline park tho
