Wraps are perfect for both beginners and advanced jumpers. There are many wraps can be done with no jumping at all making them the perfect way to learn without the discouragement of tripping on every attempt. More advanced jumpers can challenge themselves by pushing their creativity and blending multiple wraps into one another without breaking the flow.
Coach Chris’s Top Tips TO DO
✅ Keep your chest up and eyes fixed on the horizon
✅ Keep your hands tight to your body so the rope’s arc is narrow
✅ Drive down with your hands as your turn the rope
‼️ Avoid hinging at your hips like a ‘dolphin kick’.
‼️ Avoid slamming your feet into the ground in between jumps
Is it still a double under if the first ‘under’ is a Swing?
Yes. In any multiple under, we count the number of times the rope passes by or under the jumper’s feet. So, Swing Open is a double, Open Swing Cross is a triple, and Swing Cross Swing EB is a quad. It’s important to note that the jumper must have jumped during the bottom portion of the Swing for this to count - if the majority of the swing happens whilst your feet are firmly on the floor then this won’t count.
