Jump Rope Videos

It’s official… the video of the Kings Firecrackers has gone viral. CNN has picked up the story and spoke with coach Lynn Kelley and team member Alyssa Young about the team and the hard work that goes into their performances. Their video is getting millions of hits and is making its way to the email inboxes of many more potential viewers as we speak.

I’m very impressed at the top notch way the team is representing themselves and the sport. Nice job Firecrackers!! Keep up the great work!

This is Nick being Nick. The guy is amazing to watch. He starts this video by jumping a human jump rope and then launches into his single rope freestyle. Awesome stuff.

Sebastian Deeg is back with a new series of videos. This time he is providing us with a glimpse into the evolution of some the tricks that he has created. I really like the way he has broken down the tricks into some of their basic components. It’s funny that I just used the word “basic” because there is actually nothing basic about these tricks. These are very clearly Masters level tricks. Even seeing them broken down like this, they are going to take me a very long time to land. That’s the great thing about this sport… there’s always a new challenge waiting for you. I’ll post more of Sebastian’s trick evolution videos in the future to help round out the tricks category on JRV.

BTW, if you aren’t familiar with Sebastian’s previous work… do yourself a favor and check out his “Go Hard or Go Home” video. It’s still one of my favorites from the first two years of JRV and I’m sure it will be one of yours too. Sebastian is a great athlete and true innovator in the sport. It’s always fun to see what guys like him will come up with next.

This video is currently blowing up on the internet. It’s the Kings Firecrackers jump rope team doing a basketball half-time show at the US Naval Academy. Great show ladies and congrats on the popularity of the video! Keep spreading the word about our great sport.
