Double mini trampoline

DMT can be sourced back to 1970 when its inventors Robert F Bollinger and George Nissen combined two mini trampolines with a small table and mat to cover in between. Later Robert F Bollinger combined the two mini trampolines to create one 430 cm long Double Mini Trampoline and also designed the rules for competition and terms such as the mounter and spotter passes and he established its own difficulty system roughly based on the system used for diving. The first record of a double mini competition comes from the Trampoline Gymnastics World Age Group Competitions in 1973 held in London, England. Athletes competing had little experience in the new apparatus and Robert F Bollinger jumped in and provided personal training on the Friday afternoon for the athletes wishing to compete the following day. The DMT as we see it today is wider than the one Robert F Bollinger and George Nissen first created, and the change came mid 1990 when Horst Kunze, then President of the FIG Trampoline Technical Committee, asked Eurotramp Trampoline company if they could produce a DMT with a wider frame. This resulted in a wider DMT with a bed of 92 cm, which Horst Kunze states gave a real boost to the discipline. Since then this has been the international standard. == Skills ==

Some common skills performed at international level competitions are: A Comprehensive list of skills can be found in FIG Code of Point Difficulty. Full-In Full-Out Also known as Double-Twisting Double Back FIG Code 822 A somersault commonly used as a dismount in which the athlete takes off traveling backwards and does a double somersault with a double twist, full twist in the first somersault and full twist in the second somersault. This skill can be performed either tucked, piked or straight. Triple Back Somersault FIG Code 12--- A somersault commonly used as a dismount in which the athlete takes off traveling backwards and does a triple somersault. This skill can be performed either tucked, piked or, uncommonly, straight. Miller Also known as Full in Double-Full Out or Triple-Twisting Double back FIG Code 833 A somersault used as a dismount in which the athlete takes off traveling backwards and does a double somersault with a triple twist. This skill is named after world champion Wayne Miller (USA). This skill can be performed ether tucked, piked or straight. Full-In Half-Out Also known as Full-Half, Full-In Barani-Out or Full-Barani FIG Code 821 A somersault commonly used as a mount in which the athlete takes off traveling forwards and does a double somersault with a one and a half twist, full twist in the first somersault and half twist in the second somersault.

This skill can be performed ether tucked, piked or straight. Triffis ''Also known as Half-out Triffis or 'Triff''' FIG Code 12--1 A somersault commonly used as a mount in which the athlete takes off traveling forwards and does a triple somersault with a half twist, no twist in the first two somersaults and a half twist in the third somersault. This skill can be performed either tucked or piked. ==FIG Code of Point Difficulty==

The difficulty in double mini is based upon a bonus system, where the number of rotation and twists are multiplied and then the position is added. The positions are tuck, pike and straight which are represented by "O" for Tuck, "<" for Pike and "/" for Straight The FIG numeric system works as follows, first number is the amount of 1/4-rotations second number is the amount of 1/2-twist, the twists are divided into where in the skill they occur. Example: Full-In Half-Out (8 2 1) has a total of 8 1/4-rotations corresponding to the first 8 then it has 2 1/2-twists in the first somersault corresponding to the 2 and 1 1/2-twists the second somersault corresponding to the 1 ==FIG World Championship results==
