Releases

Releases are skills where the jumper releases one or both handles for a period of time. This includes mic releases, handle passes and floaters.

Mic Releases are skills where the jumper releases the handle during a side swing, allowing the rope to complete a rotation next to their body, before catching it again.

Handle passes are skills where the jumper passes one of their handles in the opposite hand for a period of time before passing it back again.

Floaters are skills where the jumper brings the rope to a complete stop above their head, then releases one or both handles for a short time, before catching them again.
