Jump Rope Videos

This video was sent in by Gary Anderson. These are just some of the highlights from a staff show at Northern camp in Indiana.

Awesome jumping by the staff as usual. Camp Staff shows were always the highlight of the experience for me, both as a camper and a staff member.

Thanks for sharing Gary!

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.

Here is another great video promoting JUMP! This video was shot in front of the PUMA store at North Park Center in Dallas, TX. It features interviews with director Helen Hood Scheer and jumpers Jeff Mauss and Nick Woodard. And of course it goes with out saying that you will see some amazing jumping!

Check it out…

Thanks for sharing Vienna. Your team has some great videos. This was my favorite because of the variety of jump rope styles that it demonstrates. Tell the team I said great job and keep up the good work spreading the word about the sport!

Here is a great performance sent to us by the amazing Sebastian Deeg. The jumpers are Mathias De Jans (Belgium), Jonas Vermeulen (Belgium) and Sebastian (Germany).

The first time we did that Show was last year in December for a Tour in 9 different Cities in Germany and 1 in France! But we (Rope Skipping) been just a small part of a huge Show, with gymnasts, acrobatics and magicians. The video is from a Show 3 weeks ago (17th of may 2008) in Ludwigshafen (http://www.oneworld-twl.de). It was a big Show with lots of different variations of gymnasts, acrobatics and of course us Jump Rope.

The show is choreographed very well and they pull it off with no mistakes! Great job guys! Thanks for sharing Sebastian!

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. For more info check out ddcb.be.

Here is the latest video by the Martial Skippers from Hong Kong. I love watching these guys jump!

Here is another series of insane double dutch tricks for you to watch. I really like the way the video is edited to show us the same tricks several times in a row from different angles. Not to mention the tricks are spectacular. These guys do a basket toss over the turner and actually land it in the ropes like you’re supposed to. Very nicely done. I also really love the toe-pitch over the subway. That’s got to be a really scary (and dangerous) trick. Finally, they do an amazing variation on the subway. I know from experience how tough a standard subway can be to complete. They take a much harder version and make it look pretty easy. The jumpers do an excellent job, but if you want to know the real secret to landing the trick… watch the turners. They are excellent. You can’t do much in Double Dutch without good turners.

This is a video of the Ropeworks performance troupe at the Seattle Folklife festival 2007. It is a very professional jump rope demonstration. You can definitely see Rene Bibaud’s influence on their jumping style. It feels like this is straight out of one of her Cirque Du Soleil performances which is quite an accomplishment. It’s always great to see a show that successfully blends multiple styles. In this video we get to see single rope, double dutch, traveler, and chinese wheel.

Here is a great performance by the staff of the 2007 Rope Skipping camp in Aarhus, Denmark. They are clearly a high caliber group of jumpers. They attempt a lot of tricks with an extremely high level of difficulty. I like how they mix up the show with a lot of Double Dutch, Chinese Wheel, and Single Rope freestyle.
