Multiples
Multiples are skills where the rope completes two or more revolutions around the jumper’s body in a single jump.
Coach Chris’s Top Tips
✅ 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.
