ISO: Long jump rope (I know odd huh?)

courtfrog2 · Oct 17, 2009

My kids have been jump roping alot lately. They've been outside since 10:00 this morning and only took a break for lunch.

They have a small jumprope attached to the orange track from their Knex and that is attached to the basketball hoop (So only one has to twirl). Ummm I think they need a real jumprope LOL.

I looked at Walmart and Target today and can't find a long jumprope. Does anyone have anything that might work?

Please

(I'll post pics soon of their jump rope that they are using)

Doesn't anyone have any jump rope or at least an idea where I can get one?? Here's the picture of what they are using for a jumprope now. Part jump rope, part Knex

I think you can just go to the hardware store and buy a long rope of the right consistency for twirling in the air.

Oooh... thanks! I will be going there tomorrow evening. What's a good "consistency"? Thick or thin?

Target has clothesline for less than $4 that should be long enough to make 2 or 3 jump ropes. It's in the hardware section.

Try a sporting goods store.

Are they long enough to jumprope like they are doing? They have plenty of single person ropes

Let me check the hardware store and also check for clothes line (Never thought of that). I will let you know.

Just go to Home Depot and get rope. That way you can choose any color/texture/type you want! It will cheap and customized

I wouldn't suggest clothesline because it will be thin (rope burns)

I prefer this kind.

Otherwise some of the smaller fitness stores will have the kind you use in schools.

Or try:

Jump Rope Store
