TRICKS OF THE TRADE

There are in excess of 2000 official skipping combinations or tricks. They can involve swinging the rope between your legs, over your head, behind your back or even skipping on your bottom. Most moves are identified by the inventor’s initials.

The Blue & Whites have had a number of tricks initialed after their club members.
The J.G. Circle, a trick invented by two skippers Jaye Reed & Georgie Lord, where one circles the other using two ropes in the Chinese Wheel format.

Another trick, the L.S. Cross, a single rope discipline, where the rope is tucked under the arm from the front & recovered using the same hand from behind, invented by Laura Summers.

Any new combination is recorded & sent to the U.S. for verification.
