The double back full is a “C” difficulty skill, which covers the minimum requirement of the full credit dismount on rings. It can be performed from a dislocate, handstand or tempo giant. It starts with a strong kick from bent legs after the lower bottom of the front swing. Simultaneously the arms pull up on the rings. At the higher vertical of the front swing, the gymnast releases and finishes the first backflip, at the beginning of the second backflip, the full twist should be initiated. Prior to the landing, the athletes opens the body. During the flip, the body remains in a tucked position. The gymnast should emphasize on the sequence of the moves. First is the pull-up, release, and first backflip. After these motions are executed, the full twist should begin during the second flip.
The skill could start from a handstand, tempo giant or from a dislocate. In the front swing after the lower bottom, the gymnast should bend the knees aggressively and pull up with the arms. When reaching the higher vertical and the bent knees are between the cables, the athlete releases from the rings and continues the back rotation of the double somersaults. During the flip the body is in a tucked position, the hands hold the legs. Prior to the landing, they open and fully extend. The gymnast should emphasize on the pull-up move. It will give the skill more height.
During the flip, the arms should be free and should not hold the legs. They should be in front of the chest, ready to initiate the twist. A modification of the drill is to perform a double back whilst clapping the hands.
In order to complete the double back on the rings, the gymnast should be well coordinated. Part of their technical preparation is to practice on the trampoline and improve the skill into the pit. The gymnast should improve their full in full out, double Arabian, double Arabian with a half turn prior to landing, double back with a full turn in the second flip, and Tsukahara double back with a full twist during the first flip.
This drill should be improved in the pit. The gymnast should execute a double back with an open body. Prior to the landing, the gymnast should perform the half turn.
The progression concludes with the execution of the entire skill in the pit. This drill helps the gymnast to focus on the technical execution, and ignore the stress of having to land on a mat.
