Hello again, I just wanted to update you as I have received my crossrope freestyle (Australia). In your review you pointed out the packaging was a con as it was all bunched up. It seems like they heard your feedback as they now packed it in a large circle and there is no kinks in the rope! Thank you so much for your review as I am now starting going to start practising! Thanks again!
Grace, thanks for watching. You're right. They started packaging the rope differently. I heard that from a few people. I don't know if it was due to my review or not, but it's great that the rope is being shipped with no more kinks. Keeping getting after it and thank you for your support. JRTF. 🙂💪🏽
Great review!! I like this one as a “middle of the road” rope. Very affordable and definitely the handles are really well made. I wondered how they will packed a replacement cord which is 5 bucks I think. Great vid!!
Great review, I've seen the Rope advertise plenty and was really waiting to see a review find a station that I watch. Thanks for the quality review and I enjoy your content!
Excellent review as always, agree 100% with the misleading name and it being more of an beginner/intermediate rope despite the crossrope site stating its for advance skippers, but definitely been enjoying this rope helping me get rhythm and timing down, an epic one as always from JRV!
What's good Mr. Bear, thanks a lot. The name is misleading but it's a good rope despite that. I'm glad to hear that you're getting some value from it. Thank you for your support!
Seems to me that it's a marketing move. Have everyone by the more expensive ropes, and market this low cost rope for "experts". Cause if you like the $25 rope, then why buy the $99 bundle
Thank you, great review as always. I ordered one as a present for my brother, for he can not go to the gym anymore. Then I wanted one for myself as well, but my son took it... Seems I have to order a third one...... (ps, they pack it now in a circle, not bended anymore)
Thanks should be from me. Thanks for sharing. I love pvc freestyle rope but my problem with it is it get super stiff during winter that it gets difficult even to do regular criss cross. This rope is no exception right? I have started to use pvc wire coated ropes though I don’t like them very much because of above reason.
Great question. You're right, this rope is no exception. PVC doesn't do well in extreme cold or heat. I've switched to mostly metal ropes for the winter because I also live in a cold area.
Great review! Objective and constructive feedback on the areas of improvement 👌👍 Me personally having used crossropes am sure they would act on the packing suggedtin Btw...is the new crossrope speed PRO LE review coming?
@@JumpRopeVeteran thanks for replying JRV....big fan of your honest reviews...look forward to the pro le review...especially on the value to price point of view..
what's up JRV ,..love your review ,yeah I've been using this rope for a month now, and yes i agree this rope will be a perfect if the handle a bit longer, so far it's not a big deal for me and it worth the price,..living in outside of US I pay an extra extra money for this plus shipping and it's just make me love jumping rope more than ever 😎 #peace
Hey Ben, thanks for the review. I can see your point about living outside the US and paying extra for shipping. I'm glad that you were able to get this rope and that it's working for you. Keep getting after it man.
Great review I like how you explained everything about the rope. I'm not a fan of it at all, I was a little disappointed. I felt like it spins slow, but I'm not good at jump rope like you to have the complete knowledge of jump ropes. You're absolutely right it's not a jump rope for freestyle tricks at all. Freestyle to the name is what killed the jump rope for me.
Thanks Abram, I appreciate it. There are some disappointing parts of this rope, the name being the main one. It's hard to move like a freestyle rope and takes a lot of strength to whip maneuver quickly.
Hi man and thanks for the great videos! I already own the Crossrope weighted ropes set, I really like them but I wanted to get the "freestyle" one to learn some more tricks, since my forearms get tired rather quickly, even with the 1/4 lbs rope. Do you find this "freestyle" rope lighter to move than the 1/4 lbs Crossrope?? And how about the absence of the release/bearing mechanism? How does the 2 types of rope differ while using them? thank you, greetings from Italy !
Hi Marco, thanks for watching from Italia! Great questions. This rope isn't really a freestyle rope. The handles are too short and the rope is too heavy. I think that it's easier to move than the 1/4 lb, but that if you want a true freestyle rope, you should get either a Buddy Lee Rope Master or an EliteSRS Pro Freestyle.
I didn't, but I heard that people put the cord in the dryer for a few minutes. You could also soak it in hot water for a few minutes. Crossrope changed their packaging so that it doesn't arrive with kinks. They've gotten good feedback from changing their packaging. 💪🏽✌🏽
Thank you. You can jump like that. It just takes practice. This video has a clip of me when I first started jumping: th-cam.com/video/Rb81uQRjLPw/w-d-xo.html
I've got mine as well and the kinks was so bad that I keep tripping on it every single time. That was frustrating. And yesterday I've made a decision to boil it in a hot water and it turn out very well right after that.
My rope came as you suggested, circular. However, as I love the handles, I don't like the rope - at all. I got the HiBeast and put the rope with the handles, and this is now my go-to rope.
Great review man. I've bought a couple of these ropes as they're so cheap and I'm loving the workouts more and more with them as I find it a lot easier to mess around with and try new things since it doesn't hurt as much when I screw it up. Recently been using it more than my other sets. I think it's because I can size it properly. My form has improved massively since I started jumping in April and I bought Get lean, strong and speed LE sets all in XL. I'm now finding those ropes a bit too long, still very usable but some jumps are harder to do due to the length and my form improving.
Soloman, glad to hear that you're improving on your skipping. Try tying knots in the Get Lean to shorten it. As Nullify said, the Bolt is a good option as well.
@@JumpRopeVeteran Thanks, I'll check it out. Yeah I did tie knots in the 0.25 and that made it easier. Can't do that with the SpeedLe or get strong set though :/
Ninja skills buddy... Sub'd... I've been lusting after a Crossrope for a while, but shipping to Africa is a fortune... :-( I've been toying with the idea of making my own jump rope...
Macon, thanks dude. I appreciate your support. Shipping to Africa must be crazy high. You should make your own rope. It's not hard to do if you get the handles and PVC cord in. Keep getting after it, man. 💪🏾
@@JumpRopeVeteran I've got a couple of cheaper ropes that I use for workouts (just started one of JRD's workout plans a week a go)... gonna go all out with my custom rope... wood, metal hardware, bearings and interchangeable ropes... I'll probably do a build video... (thats kinda my thing)... I'll drop you a link once its done... 👊
@@JumpRopeVeteran Finally got it done... pretty stoked with how they turned out, the handles are awesome, but the cable and hardware I got could be better, I've contacted Crossrope to see if the are willing to sell me a set of their "quick change/release mechanisms" that way I can use their ropes... lets hope they say yes, then I'll have a seriously cool jump rope... anyway here's the link to my build: th-cam.com/video/gHMz6-J12Ao/w-d-xo.html
Ev, great question. I think this rope is better, and I have both. This rope offers cheap cord replacements, the cord has nylon material in the center, I think the handles are better, and it's better made than the RA rope/the Ampro rope. This is just my opinion, though, based on my experience with both ropes. There are many who disagree with me. Thanks for watching. 💪🏽🙏🏽
Everett, it's a company based out of the UK (I believe). They've been around for awhile. Legend has it that Floyd Mayweather is using the Ampro jump rope in the Fight Hype video of him jumping that went viral a few years ago. To my knowledge, the Rush Athletics Money Rope and the Ampro rope are the same rope with different branding.
It does get tangled a lot. I agree with you there. The WODPrep is decent, but I wouldn't get it if you already have the Speed LE. The handles are the same slim handles that come with the Get Lean.
@@JumpRopeVeteran I have the get fit package. When I get to the freestyle and do crossovers and side to side it gets tangled. I can to them with the 1/4lb rope. With the 2oz i think I would really kill it
Wait i was wrong about this rope it took me a month to dial in this rope and it work very well solid despite the cheap price compared to most crossropes on the market right now.
@@JumpRopeVeteran someone else suggested it to me yesterday. I took the handles off and put some clothes in with it. It worked like a charm. I highly suggest doing it if you still have any kinks or wrinkles in it. It didn't damage the rope at all.
Nice video. You obviously know a lot about this sport. I wish you'd edited the video down for time. Like 15 min or so. And included more B roll of you using the rope while you talk. I enjoyed watching you jump rope. Very inspiring... and soothing.
Can you try the target all in motion speed jump rope it’s 5 bucks in store or app or website and it seems to be good from ratings it has I wanna get a good rope cheap rope and I’m interested in this one
@@JumpRopeVeteran no problem love your channel and what you do you are awesome and the best with straight forward jump rope content keep doin your thing
I love the handles! However, the PVC cord feels “squirrelly” to me. I like the feel of Punk Rope PVC ropes or BuyJumpRopes.net. I intend to substitute a different PVC cord from BuyJumpRopes.net or Punk Rope with these terrific handles.
@@JumpRopeVeteran It worked great! It was easy. I removed the cord that came with the CrossRope Freestyle and replaced it with a 4mm w/ string cord from BuyJumpRopes.net. I have both the 4mm and 5mm replacement cords from BuyJumpRopes but only the 4mm fit the handles. The 5mm cord was too "fat". Also, I used the stopper ends that came with the BJR cord, rather than the CrossRope screw ends, which slipped off the 4mm cord. The jump rope now feels much more to my liking.
One of my favorites, weird, I have 45-50 ropes, of different types and price ranges...this one is one of my faves.... Also, this is not an ad, but, for someone starting out, and ya don't want to spend a lot at first...the Dynapro (it's on Amazon) for $20 is great.

why tie a node？ what’s that for? Dude
