DOUBLE DUTCH CONTEST JAPAN VOL.7

The results for Double Dutch Contest Japan Vol. 7 have been announced. 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.
