jumping goodness

this is why i heart youtube. my obsession with all jumprope-related things has led me to these videos of double dutch-ing and i just LOVE watching them all. thanks, people who post to youtube!

first, there's double dutchess, a rad group that i first heard about in bust:


then there's some serious pros (who compete):


or another team practicing and performing:

(that first song from the video - "girl for all seasons" by northern state - is so good!)

- and more fun -

a bit of double dutch during a pretty girls make graves set at a festival:


on the fredflare show - cute (but, oh, lord, the two guys are such dorks):


some food not bombers doing their thing:


and finally pretty much my favorite, if only it wasn't a song by malcolm mclaren (yes, the guy who was the sex pistols manager AND made generally crappy music in the '80s) and he didn't appear in the video (without him it would be just lovely):
