August 2 - TRAMPOLINE

"Prepare to be dazzled by the athletes in the Trampoline competition at the London 2012 Games, the newest of the three Gymnastics disciplines on the Olympic programme.

Devised in the 1930s at the University of Iowa, the first modern trampoline was initially used as a training tool for tumblers, astronauts and athletes. However, it grew in popularity to such an extent that in 1964 the first ever Trampoline World Championships were held at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Since making its Olympic debut at the Sydney Games in 2000, the sport has consistently featured awe-inspiring displays of acrobatic excellence, with athletes jumping to heights of up to 10 metres.

Gymnasts perform a series of 10 skill routines, with a variety of single, double and triple somersaults with and without twists. Precise technique and perfect body control are vital for success, with judges delivering marks for difficulty, execution and time of flight, minus penalties."

Barani – a front somersault with a half-twist.

Fliffus – a double somersault with at least a half-twist.

Triffus – a triple somersault with at least a half-twist.

Rudolph – a front somersault with 1½ twists, sometimes known as a 'Rudy'.

Since recently buying our own trampoline, I'll be more interested in watching this competition. These gymnasts do amazing jumps and flips!

For this challenge, use the sketch, below..... but with a twist! You can't use it as shown, you must FLIP or ROTATE it!

No, that was a sticker border that cam with some paper -- not even sure what the manufacturer was now. I've had it forever!

Gret LO, Carla! Love how you used the banner as part of the title!
