apike Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I win at jump rope! I managed a new trick today! I've been working on crossing the rope over with my hands behind my back. I could already do it by crossing my arms in front. I managed it not only once, but twice in a row! (A "full trick" being 2 normal jumps, one cross, one normal - just because I need to be able to keep my momentum for it to be useful). Pretty dang happy with that. I hit the back of my head with the rope a lot, but not too bad. : D Next is getting it smooth so I don't trip almost every time. Then doing it while jumping backwards. Jump ropes are fun. 1 Quote A.

Rooks Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Very nice! Do you do this for competitions or anything? Or just for the love of doing it? Quote Link to comment
apike Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just love. I actually just started jumping again in November. Learning tricks keeps it interesting. I've never been very competitive. It didn't even occur to me until you mentioned it that there would even be competitions! Jumping rope makes me feel like a kid again, in all the best ways. Quote A.
