• Generating enough height and rotation for this skill is difficult. It is generally done out of a handspring, though I have seen it from a run.

• As for the arabian double, a LOT of double fronts must be excecuted to soft landing surfaces to develop a strong sense of the skill.

• The stacked mat drills for a double back apply for the double layout, but they must be executed, well, layed out.
• The set for a double layout is distinctly different than a tucked double. The chest is aggressively thrown upwards as the shoulders are pulled back.
• The shoulders pull the gymnast through the 1st flip then the toes are aggressively tapped to complete the skill.

• Timer: Tucked back full 1 3/4 to stacked mats. The gymnast should work tucked fulls without grabbing their legs. As for the double back the gymnast should land high on their backs on a fairly high stack of mats.
• Front 1/2-back out off of a mini tramp is a good drill to develop the feel of this skill.
• On a trampoline work full, back, full, back, etc. This also helps develop an air awareness for this skill.
