Jump Rope Videos

Here is a solid team show performance by the Recrean Skippers from Belgium.

Here’s a news story by Voice of America on the Kangaroo Kids. The story includes interviews with coach Jim McCleary and USA Jump Rope All Star Scott Simpson. Good luck in South Africa guys!!

Here is DDF performing on the very popular French tv show “Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde”. They look great as always. Thanks to our good friend Maarten Goodme from Belgium for sharing this very cool video with us. In two weeks Maarten and the gang will be hosting their 2nd annual Double Dutch Contest in Belgium.

This video was submitted by Wittman Au-Yeung. This is from the Hong Kong Rope Skipping Championships. This is Hong Kong Skipper “Yip Suet Bun” performing another Master Freestyle with zero mistakes. He is in the 15-17 age Male group. He won the gold medal in 30 sec speed, Triples, Freestyle and the over all champion with the highest freestyle score among all the age groups in this Championships. He is preparing for the World Championships that will be held in South Africa in July of 2008. Wish him luck by leaving a comment on this video.

Here is a video of the Bouncing Bulldogs preforming at the Southern Documentary Fund following a viewing of Doubletime.

Here’s a cool video of the Cary Super Skippers jumping rope in Pullen Park. The video was created by Super Skippers coach Gary Anderson and was submitted to JRV by Maureen Tarquini. Thanks for sharing guys!!! This video reminds me of some of the stunts in Lee Reisig’s movie Welcome to Jumptown. Using obstacles in the park while jumping rope is such a cool and creative idea. It looks like a lot of fun too!

The results for Double Dutch Contest Japan Vol. 7 have been announced. You can check them out on the DDC.jp website. Here they are translated in english, thanks to Google. This year the DDCJ had 96 teams with a total of 507 jumpers competing. That’s a record turnout for the event.

This is a promo video for the event which has some very impressive jumping in it. Check out the guy jumping on his hands in an amazing display of strength and balance. He does at least 13 consecutive jumps on his hands before the video cuts to the next shot. Very impressive.

Last year the USA Jump Rope All Star Team performed on “Ellen’s Really BIG Show”. This was a variety show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres that aired on November 18th, 2007. Unfortunately I missed the original airing of the show and was unable to find video of it anywhere. Thankfully, Mike Fry recently found it on YouTube and sent a link my way. THANKS MIKE!!!

Once again the All Star Team does a brilliant job of exposing our sport to a larger audience. In the process they demonstrate just how great they are. How often do you see an entire performance with absolutely NO misses?? They look very professional and represent our sport very well. Great job guys!

Note: The All Star Team isn’t introduced until about 4m50s into the video.

Here is a promo video for the Forbes Flyers Jump Rope Team from Torrington, Connecticut.

This video focuses only on Double Dutch and is from a Hong Kong Rope Skipping team called Silver Jelly. I dig the music and the way they introduce the team members. There is one trick in here that really stood out for me; the leap frog over the turner and a jumper. Pretty cool stuff.
