Double Unders. They are not popular with some folks. In fact, that is putting it mildly. Given the opportunity, there are those in my gym that given the chance would see to it that Double Unders were erased from the collective memory of all living beings. Jennier B...did you do Double Unders and get 18:15? Man, if you did, you have improved your DU skills dramatically. Cherie...welcome back. You show up and I'm not there to see you. Sorry. Michelle B. got her kip on at last. She was very excited to finally get multiple kipping pullups. Kipping is a biggie. I wonder if there is a negative ability to do a thing. Not just unable...something beyond unable. I don't want to expose him here, and thus embarass hiim publically, but his initials are Rich Scaniffe. Anyway, though I beat him in the workout, it was only because of the Double Unders...but, get this, his rope was cut in the middle. Rope in his right hand, rope in his left hand, no rope down in the foot area. Nothing to miss with. No way to actually not be able to jump over the rope...BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROPE TO HIT YOUR FEET WITH. Somehow he missed. I asked him how he could miss when there was nothing to miss and he demonstrated this very Special Olympics jump rope technique and that he would hit himself in the leg with one or the other rope. Amazing to watch really. He would boost the self esteem of the guy with helmet on and a cork on his fork. He'll get better though...only direction he can go.
