Like mo...Thanks for allowing us to see your movie. <BR/><BR/>Like most people, I have some exposure to skipping rope. I recall my Dad using it to train for a mile run c. 1952. I wonder if he picked it up as a means of keeping fit while on board ship, a troop ship en route from Australia to Europe in the Second World War. <BR/> <BR/>Have you ever seen Sonny Liston skipping to “Night Train”? A slow, cumbersome looking fighter, he was suddenly transformed into a dancer. Sugar Ray Leonard was also noted for his skipping abilities. <BR/><BR/>David PonsonbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940846729714171561.post-75478492741773908422008-05-20T13:06:00.000-07:002008-05-20T13:06:00.000-07:00I'm so grateful that we got see JUMP!

When we got home, my daughter took out my old exercise jump rope and was trying to do the tricks taught at the event. My son saw the speed competition and wanted to see if he could even jump as fast as Tori… and he also wants to learn the tricks too. Please pass on the great impression the jumpers and the movie had on us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
