Double Dutch is so underrated. Like this is amazing what they do, but no one talks about them

I can't even walk without tripping.

They make it look so easy but I know it's one of the hardest things in the world. In elementary school, I remember the girls would challenge the boys to try and it was just too hard for all of us. This is truly an art form that takes skill and precision.

First, you have to learn how to jump in without messing up. It's harder than it looks; BELIEVE THAT!

Double Dutch is one of the most amazing athletic arts! This would make an incredibly fun and skilled addition to the Olympics for a trial sport.

We use to have sooooooooooooo much fun in the 1980's early 90's double dutching......omg....this is memories.

I taught my kindergarten class how to skip double dutch. It's so important for those of my generation to keep these games going.

How did I get here!!!??.............just kidding, I don't know why but I searched double Dutch.

Makes me remember how fun childhood was in the 80's and 90's!

Even the ones swinging the ropes are talented

Growing up in Brooklyn, NY in the late 1940s I clearly remember watching with awe and amazement, young black girls doing incredible double dutch rope skipping in the street. In those days of de-facto segregation, the white neighborhood and black neighborhood were divided by one street. These were the days before play dates and scripted after school activities. We were regularly sent out to the street to play where we spent many unsupervised hours. We would often stand on the street that was the dividing line and watch the (mostly) girls our age (7 to about 13 years old) doing their amazing double dutch routines with the greatest of ease. No one on the white side of the dividing line ever attempted this sport. We wouldn't even have known how to begin.

In elementary school I always envied the ladies that would spend recess F***in' KILLIN IT on the ropes. I just played in the sand... :/

I could watch double dutch all damn day.

Double dutch championship has been around since i was young, i was on a double dutch team when i was younger, im glad to see that jumping double Dutch has not been forgotten

i got here cause i remembered my childhood. i was doing this with my cousins when i was 11 or 10'. we we're so happy everytime we fail

The speed ones are so fasinatting

SO Dope!! I love you FBA!!! Creator's of it all!!!!

This is incredible!!! The girl in yellow was in a trance, in the zone! I don't think I could work the ropes never mind skip between them!

Kudos not only to the jumpers, but to the turners too!!!!

It’s me but I see more difficult moving the ropes than jumping them

Never learned :-( ...still amazing to watch at any age!

i thought they are going pretty fast in 0:30 but then i saw the asians behind them :D

I searched this and didn’t realize how much I’d enjoy watching this

I look at this and see the hours of sweat and tears it took to get to this level of skill. The precision involved is incredible. Just wow.

This breaks the laws of physics and goes straight into the laws of awesome

Brilliant for fun, team work, coordination, fitness, laughter. A winning combination!!!!

Wow.. The more things change, the more they stay the same !!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember doing this as a girl. I did it all, double dutch, hot peppers, etc. and as a girl in school, I was the local champion. In that day, there were no international championships like this. We just jumped for joy! Now, youth is gone, I am 55, and watch and remember the joy of jumping, no pain, all energy and I can retreat in my mind to my girlhood days. "Apple Core, Baltimore "- almost feeling the sting of a rope

I remember back in the day, I loved doing the doubledutch,

Man nfl and nba players need this choppy feet drill my goodness

I'm 40 I remember in elementary school I wanted to double Dutch I was afraid to jump in the ropes. I love how double Dutch is a competition and the routines that can be done doing this activity.

I miss my childhood so much man. I used to do speed jumping and it’s no damn joke.

Wow they did amazing I did not know they had competition like this great job

Thanks for posting this video.

one dutch two dutch queens of the double dutch we skip better than you by that much what our feet our moves are sweet our double dutching won't be beat.

I still ADMIRE anyone who is able (or even if you used to do this when you were younger). The jumpers make it look easy, but I know that it takes a LOT of work to do what they can do (and I’m not even talking about those that can do all the fancy tricks WHILE still double dutching! Kudos to them all! And it’s awesome to see the young men in there (when I was growing up, I only remember seeing ONE young guy who was able to hang with the girls). I know that’s gonna make me sound old 🤦🏾‍♀️

Yoooooo. This unlocked a core memory. Double Dutch is the SHOT. and that's on periodT 💅

After several months intense training I could watch the whole video in one go

It's 5am. Insomnia has won. I have found myself deep into the KZfaq hole. Completely unaware this existed. Why am I like this. Cool vid.

I couldn't do this if I wanted too. I would give myself black eyes for sure lol. I just don't have this kind of energy, never had. its definitely fun to watch

Brings back memories of being a kid in the 90s, Everyone I I knew played double dutch.

(from Bolivia) a true, American, inner city sport ! More attention please

I'm convinced, this should be an olympic event.

The 2nd team in yellow actually got my lazy ass off the couch just to stand up , clap my hands and cheer them on! You go with your bad ass selves - you ladies kick ass! Loved it .

Absolute legends- every one of them!

Fantastic ladies wow! Greetings from Germany!

What an amazing performances! Must have taken years of relentless training to achieve that level of athleticism...

whewwww what a time 😭 i competed briefly and took it for granted. i miss it.

Everybody did a great job but japan you guys were awesome!! Loveeed it!

This brings me back to elementary school, watching the girls tear it up and singing along too lol us guys sucked we couldnt even jump in haha

I can do double dutch and also use a single skipping rope in it☺ But it was hard to learn it.

Just watching this made my feet ache. Awesome job!

I love it!! It’s so awesome to see! 😊

It’s 2022 and I’m sitting here high af thinking about the good ole days

good lord you ladies freaking rock. wow what skill and ability these teams are on point with each other. way to go

This is amazing as well as even fascinating and freaky. It looks easy but it's hard. Wow!

When I was in 4th grade I was in a double dutch team after school. I learned how to double dutch (which is hard at first) then I was able to add jumping a single jump rope while jumping double dutch. That was so much fun. My 6th grade teacher had me show the class then we put on a performance during a halftime basketball game. I don't know if I could do it again though as that was 40 years ago but it would be fun to try.

I was a turner not jumper and it was jus as hard as jumping coach ms digs Maddie us go hard

absolutely fabulous

Wow, they're incredible.

Wow! This could be an Olympic game!

It feels great to be part of one of the only teams that have been able to defeat the Japanese in freestyle & the ONLY team to date that has been able to defeat the Japanese after they learned a little something about speed. Not knocking the Japanese or anything like that.. they are definitely an extremely strong team.. It just makes me proud that we.. Stan's Pepper Steppers can still hold it down, represent for the Americans & bring 1st place, Top Doubles Speed Jumps & Best Overall Doubles Team of 2013 titles back to Far Rockaway NY. With that said best wishes from a current World Champion goes out to all teams competing in the 2014 ADDL World Invitational Championship. Ready your ropes.. Get set.. TIMER!!!

Wow wow wow I watch 9 years later

I loved double dutch, 80's baby in Watts, California....good ole days

0:51 *when you wake up late and you miss class*

They are great

Amazing!

That looks hard. Good on them for all the training they do.

this is a very good double dutch video 😀😀

Holy crap!! That second girl in yellow….her focus is remarkable!!

I use to love double Dutch at school

I can’t believe I found this gem

Loved doing this at break time at school in the 1980s. When I say we did ‘this’ we weren’t quite the experts as these guys lol have a ton of fun doing it though!

Omgggg.. that's talent! I love this idk how I ended up here lol

That was beautiful 📸

I'm just speechless!!!!! Wow wow wow!

I read a book about double Dutch in my reading group at my school and we watch a vid about this after we was done reading the book. They do that fast and on beat🙂

Amazing to watch.

Loved this since I was a kid. Think my timing would be better at telling jokes. THESE kids are amazing.

Amazing

This hits different after watching Jump In

God I would LOVE to watch this in person. I can barely stand still without almost falling

These jumpers are dope

This brings back some of my most fondness childhood memories in Williamsburg Housing Projects Brooklyn New York.

I love double Dutch!!!! Back in the day “Get the ropes” cardio

Definitely thought this was a lost art till I saw the world championships decades ago

Remembering my childhood in late 60s early 70s jump roping! Double Dutch also was fun! Wish in could still bdonit

Forget the skipping, i can't even get my head around how those ropes get swung!

This is awesome.

Incredible

This should be an Olympic event

I remember back in the days this was our thing , growing up jumping double dutch when itvwas popular

HOW do you get into the ropes....i think if i was able to get in (i've tried i can't) i'd be able to do it!!!

Hi! I love your skipping video - thanks for posting it! I am doing a music video of a song I have written about jumping rope. May I use parts of your video in my song?

Incredible!

AMAZING, keep it up kids!!!

Outstanding 👍

fabuloso!!!!! me gusto mucho que hagan este tipo de actividades en las escuelas, ya que son actividades físicas de competencia y desarrollo físico!!!!!

Amazing!!

I remember doing this (white girl here) back in 1969 early 70s and singing Kamalamea Beast Day and other soul music while we jumped during school recess. A bunch of Catholic school girls practicing cultural misappropriation! Became the foundation of my love for soul, funk, blues and African music.

Such focus and concentration 🙂
