Jump Rope Videos

Here is a great interview with Saltare on the heels of their spectacular performance that landed them a spot in the next round of ABDC. The crew is doing a great job representing the sport both on and off the stage. I don’t think we could ask for better ambassadors for Jump Rope.

Keep up the great work guys!

Here is the performance by Saltare from the east regional on ABDC. Be sure to vote for them @ the ABDC website.

If you are coming here after seeing Saltare perform on ABDC, you will probably enjoy some of the Fusion videos we’ve collected here on JRV.

If you are interested in Jump Rope as a sport, I recommend checking out the documentary Jump! and the video Workshop Saturday.

Here’s a clip from MTV…

The members of North Carolina’s Saltare talks about the support they’ve gotten from the jump rope community and the crew’s versatility.

Here’s a video of the various members of Saltare in action prior to their apperance on America’s Best Dance Crew. It’s great to see Jump Rope being represented so well.

Another interview with Saltare behind the scenes of ABDC…

Look out everyone! Jump Rope is in the spotlight on the national stage thanks to a group of USA Jump Rope All Stars. A crew called Saltare has made it on season 5 of America’s Best Dance Crew on MTV. If you follow jump rope, you already know their names… Chaz Robinson, Tyler Perez, Lee Reisig, Billy Jackson, Lisa Brown, & Brittany Fortier. What an amazing collection of talent!

I just watched the east regionals in which Saltare debuted on national TV. Saltare absolutely killed it! They nailed their routine without a flaw, got the entire audience on their feet, and left the judges in awe. The judges were unanimous in their praise of the crew’s talent. When it was time to select which crews would advance, Saltare was the first crew to be chosen to advance to the next round.

Follow Saltare on their website saltarecrew.com and on Facebook.

Here is an in interview with the crew backstage during the taping of the season 5 regional.

Good luck Saltare! The entire Jump Rope community is behind you. We hope you go all the way!

This is beyond unique. I’ve seen all kinds of props used in double dutch before. In my early days of jumping rope it was common to use pogo balls and pogo sticks. Since then I’ve seen people jump double dutch on bicycles, skateboards, and even unicycles. However, this is a first for me. Have you ever seen a car jump double dutch?

This is part of a Japanese advertising campaign for the TOYOTA iQ. Cool stuff…

Jump Rope is not only a great physical work out, but it is also good exercise for the mind…

This is Superskipper John Mc. solving a Rubik’s cube inside double dutch in about 1 minute, 40 seconds. He did it on the first try and no camera tricks were used! I have a hard enough time solving one standing still.

Very impressive John!

This is the video for “My Will is Good” by indy rock band Port O’Brian. The video features 11 members of the Foothill Force Jump Rope Team from La Canada Flintridge, CA. Great job guys! Thanks to Sharon Perlstein for sharing this with us.

USA Jump Rope has posted the airdates for the 2009 U.S. National Jump Rope Championship. Set your DVRs! There are several routines that I’m looking forward to seeing through the lens of a professional camera. Until then we have to make do with the cell phone videos making the rounds on YouTube.

For a preview of the level of talent you can expect to see… this is 2009 Grand National Champ Nick Woodard. I’m stunned by the Money Maker that he drops about 20 seconds into his routine. How does he do it?? It’s possible he isn’t human.

Airdates are listed below the video. Enjoy!
