Jump Rope Videos

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…

These videos were sent to us by our good friend Maarten Goedemé from Belgium. This is video from DDCB 2009. This year’s DDCB was broadcast in 46 countries in 11 different languages. The official website for the event is www.ddcb.be The production values of these videos and the competition are great. Not to mention there is some serious jumping and performing going on here. These guys are definitely taking it to another level.

Thanks for sharing Maarten!

Sweet routine from the 2008 World Championships…

The videos are starting to pour in from the World Championships in South Africa. The results from the tournament are available on the IRSF homepage. Here is a video sent to me by Zev Troxler from Worlds. This video is of Mathew, Garrot, and Collin from Hot Dog USA. This routine blew me away. It’s what I call a very “dense” routine. It has a ton of tricks and turner involvement all back to back. There are no wasted jumps in this routine. There were also several original tricks that were just fantastic to see. Great job guys!

This is a video of Showta from the Japanese Double Dutch team Kurui. All I have to say is “Wow!”…

This is one of the best Fusion routines I’ve seen recently. This is from DOUBLE DUTCH CONTEST BELGIUM Vol.2. There are some great looking tricks in here. The leap frog front punch is pretty cool. And so is the two footed frog-180-high frog into a freeze headstand combination. Fun stuff. The jumpers and turners look super smooth throughout the whole routine.

Check it out…

Here is a new video from pro skipper Peter Nestler. This is episode 25 of the Rope Masters videoKast. In this episode Peter invites coach Tommy Hager to help demonstrate a couple of Chinese Wheel tricks. Tommy Hager is a long time jump rope coach, a great jumper, and one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. The first skill is the basic inside/outside turn. The second trick is the new and amazingly intricate “reverse marlee mashup”.

Peter also lets us know that his long awaited Double Dutch and Chinese Wheel instructional video is now available. It clocks in at an amazing 7.5 hours worth of instruction spanning 4 DVDs. It is sure to be jam-packed with lots of valuable insights for people of all skill levels. It also features instruction from world famous jumpers Nick Woodard, Kelsy Moe and Mike Fry.

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.

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.
