Crossrope Jump Rope NO MORE? - CROSSROPE vs Rush Athletics Money Rope

[@Krufessor_Rad]

As I was uploading this video I looked up the current pricing for Crossrope and I must make a correction. When I purchased my Get Strong set two years ago I paid $120-$130 and I also bough a Get Lean set for $80. It seems that the price has gone up and the Get Strong set now retails for $150 and the Get Lean set is $100. I wanted to be sure to share that correction as I quote the price as $120 in the video.

Elite Jumps (formerly Elite SRS) is the rope you want to get in the USA. They have 4/5/6mm pvc rope. I recommend the 6mm. Their PVC is soft and flexible vs the cheaper ropes.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

Nice. Thank you. I’ll check them out.

[@dpiercyjumps]

Currently have 2 Elite Jumps ropes in my arsenal; I like them.

[@jonlam9210]

I got both. Both works great and fun to skip with. I used money rope in public area due to the color (orange, yellow and green) is so eye catching. Once at home, I do prefer the crossrope for sure.

[@zackrooy]

you just saved my money. I was about to buy the crossrope but the price made me thinking not twice but 10 times. Then I came across with RA moneyrope and though it's still considered expensive due to currency change, it's significantly cheaper than crossrope. So after watching this video, I bought the moneyrope & loving it so much. I did try my friend's crossrope. Though the handles feel good, like you said moneyrope feels much better. I guess it's called moneyrope coz it's worth the money

[@Krufessor_Rad]

That’s great to hear. Thank you for sharing!

[@markjennings4575]

You can do tricks with the 1/4 lb rope which is part of the get lean set when I bought it. The get lean set consists of 1/4 and 1/2lb ropes.

[@littlenel17]

I’m getting so sick and tired of people comparing the Crossrope which is pretty much a weighted rope to the money rope which is strictly a speed rope. Comparing apples to oranges. Crossrope does not promote their rope as a speed rope or freestyle rope. It’s is promoted as a cardio weight loss tool. If your goal is to skip rope for weight loss or muscle building then Crossrope will do it for you. If you want to be a freestyle skipper doing double unders, cross overs, etc then yes the money rope is perfect for you. They are 2 different ropes used for 2 different styles of skipping. Now if you compare the money rope or icon rope to the Crossrope bolt set then that would be a better comparison since those 3 fall under a speed/freestyle rope. Keep up the good work.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

thank you for the feedback and comment.

[@littlenel17]

@@Krufessor_Rad my comment wasn’t a shot at you. The was just saying that those 2 ropes are always compared because Crossrope and Rush are the 2 most popular brands on the market. I think it’s important that people know that the two ropes are very different. I own the cross rope get lean set and I just ordered the money rope 2.0 when I jump with them I know that I will be jumping differently from one to the other. God bless

[@iago07]

Crossrope had speed ropes too

[@jrg14961]

I have the crossropes, and I used it a lot, and I got the ra ropes. That being said. I have 11 ra ropes. Snapped 2 while I was on deployment. I feel more comfortable with ra ropes. I just got 3 more of the new money performance ropes and they're a lot of fun as well. I'd say that the money ropes are my favorite ropes. I can knock out double unders, double under crosses, and just go crazy with the money ropes. Like they're just smooth and awesome.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

nice! I love the hard work my man. keep it up and thank you for the comment.

[@NALODJPEX]

I totally agree, you read my thought, i drap my money buying expensive ropes until i found the MR or HA ropes.

[@ManwithHonor]

MR or HA ?

[@e4dorla]

I couldn't agree with you more. I started off with Crossrope back in 2017, and picked up a Money Rope a few months later. As you said, the Crossrope is great for feedback when you are just getting started, but you can't really do tricks with them beyond a simple criss-cross. Try and do some one arm swings with them and the handles and all that hardware will deny you every time. As soon as you said something about that damn hardware popping you in the knuckles, I could feel it as soon as you said it. I will say that the new Crossrope Freestyle LE rope is pretty good when compared with the Money Rope. The handles of the CR are triangle shaped as opposed to the tube handles of the Money Rope and are significantly more rugged. Aside from the PVC cord wearing out, the MR handles will break at the bell end at some point. The CR FS LE also uses a 5mm PVC cord like the MR. I recently picked up a new jump rope called the Rhythm Rope, but haven't tried it out yet.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

all great info. Thank you. I will look at this freestyle rope, quite a few people have mentioned it.

[@JackMihoff6969]

The 2020 Get Lean/Get Strong set doesn’t have this problem anymore. I have both sets and I use them for 30 minutes then switch to the money rope just to do tricks and have fun. I still prefer the Crossrope for better cardio and Money rope for having fun later on.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

@@JackMihoff6969 I agree

[@J-hook]

Nice brother! I have been following Rush Athletics for more than a year now and I totally agree with you. Love their ropes,even their weighted ropes and if you ever have to replace or want to buy a new one, it's still not going to be as expensive as the other high end ropes. Thanks for the vid.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

🙂🙏🏽

[@pattgsm]

Back in the day, if you wanted to jump rope for either boxing conditioning or Double Dutch you’d ask your mom or grandmother for some of her plastic clothesline that she magically always had. Today, you can get 100ft of it for $20 US dollars on Amazon. That being said, the Money Rope and CrossRope both have a place in your training regimen. For fitness, strength training, max calorie burn, & learning CrossRope is the answer. The handles provide the best turnover and the various weighted ropes boosts total calories burned over time and incorporates forearm, shoulder and mid back muscles. The Money Rope is perfect for Travel, jumping w/o a mat, tricks, and general foot work.

[@nickwolfe2910]

How long did it take to ship for you? I ordered around 3 weeks ago and haven't received it yet.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

It’s took about two weeks. I’m sorry it’s taking so long. Hope you get it soon.

[@ahmedibnhanbalashshaybani1009]

It said 3 days order 😡 it's been 4 days and I live in England! And I ordered the legacy rope

[@soyroberto2527]

Comparing different products. I've never used RA ropes but I have many of the Crossrope products including that white one, they're good quality and yes they are expensive my main rope type now is the Crossrope green one which can go fast and it's light but it's no a speed rope, the one thing I get upset is it does need to be really taken care of or it'll break fast , the moment the plastic breaks a bit it will not survive for much longer which considering the price can be a disappointment.

[@belleslovinit]

You should try the freestyle crossrope pvc rope! It's priced similar to the RA money rope and it's my fave

[@Krufessor_Rad]

I’ll look into that one. Thank you.

[@e4dorla]

I really like the freestyle cross rope as compared to the MR.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

@@e4dorla I just ordered one. I will do a comparison of the two.

[@iamdylancheek]

I love that there was nothing negative about either. Sure, CR is very expensive but it’s still great quality. I love my Get Lean set. I use both ropes daily, but i’m definitely gonna get myself a RA rope!!

[@shawnbradley3699]

I started with a walmart rope n when it finally broke I was already watching RA videos so I decided to get the money rope. Just like he said its simple seemingly cheap rope but it just works. I've tried a rope with a swivel mechanism and i feel like the money rope is more consistent cuz there are less parts to move around

[@nikyrabauliman3715]

Different ropes for different folks, but thank you for the comparison. Touched on some good and interesting key points, I am waiting for my RA Money Rope to arrive, but I still use the CR lean set for my workouts.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

Thank you so much for the feedback.

[@jcaral4171]

The money rope os good for tricks, the crossrope os better for a more strengthful exercise. Have you tried the weighed Legacy or the Icon ropes from Rush Athletics too?

[@Krufessor_Rad]

I haven't. I was thinking about trying one of those out.

[@yosherapido3461]

What’s the weight on the rope do you know??

[@Krufessor_Rad]

If you're asking about the money rope, I'm not sure, but I assume it's a quarter pound rope.

[@jean-francoislepouliquen1071]

@@Krufessor_Rad no the money rope is much lighter

[@lisapacarynuk9316]

I use both! In fact, I don’t think it has to be either/or - it can be both/and! They serve different purposes. I love the RA because it goes everywhere with me and I can do cardio and basic boxing tricks. I use Crossrope’s for HIIT and other kinds of weight workouts. The weighted ropes are marketed as a more complete workout, burning more calories, including more muscles, etc. I’m surprised Dave Hunt referred to it only as a beginner, because many people use only the weighted ropes - just get different weights. The 1/4 lb or the Speed set are great. Agree that there is a big price difference, though, but they do serve a different purpose. Glad I found your channel!

[@Krufessor_Rad]

Thank you 🙏🏽

I just picked up jumping rope 3 days ago its going great best and most fun workout ive had in a while and its great because i can do it on my backyard soon im gonna get a bag there so for the whole summer its muay thai grind

[@Krufessor_Rad]

Nice! That's great man! Get that work in!

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Rush athletics have their have their own heavy jump rope and rush athletics said the money rope is their favorite but they can also do a bunch of tricks with their weighted ropes

[@ardaleclayton5187]

What do u mean u can't take cross rope outside I do with no mat

[@Krufessor_Rad]

The bare concrete tears the rope up. That’s why they sell and train on those mats. You of course can just go outside and do it but you’ll shorten the life of a pretty expensive jump rope. To each his own of course. Thank you for the comment.

[@kaylaskurski4495]

I have been using it for years an omg I went from the Crossrope to the money rope I loveeeeeee it so good

[@Night237]

I love my crossropes and I can free style with them pretty darn well if I do say so myself. But I can tell for a fact it's not for that and I'm glad I'm not the only one getting my knuckles destroyed by these things. Waiting on a couple new ropes to come in including RA "Money" rope to give them a whirl excited to see how far I can push those vs the crossropes

[@jcaral4171]

You said you can't use the crossrope outside or without a mat??? That's the point of the crossrope, to use the outdoor on rough surfaces!!! They don't last forever, but much more than the others. I have both of them.. and I break the money rope when I do doubles or I jump in a park. Even the legacy rope wears off quicker than the crossropes

[@Dan_the_Catty_Man]

Absolutely no way i would pay over £100 for a jump rope. I paid £12 for my money rope, I paid £30 for my beaded rope, I paid £35 for my muay thai rope. If you’re going to spend big money, spend it on a good mat👍🏼

[@wolfenstein1369]

The weighted rope is specifically for building muscle if I am not wrong.... the utility and the purpose of this role is different...weighted rope is always for loosing fast weight and building Kean muscle along with other excercise....you should try crossrope LE rope...u can do whatever u want with it 🙏

[@Krufessor_Rad]

thank you for the comments and I agree. I actually purchased the LE and did a video on it. My wife and I are fans of that one for sure.

When it comes down to ropes it’s all about what suits you . I’ve never tried a cross rope looks cool 😎 though . I have the money rope and I’ve tried the Beast speed rope . Now I’m going for the new ignite rope from RA . Shipping is a problem at the moment but the great communication I’m getting and updates is reassuring. Great vid Cheers 🍻

[@Vamavid]

It was called the "Money rope" before Mayweather used it. Once.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I thought it was because of Mayweather which made me want to purchase it a bit more and it doesn't look like a cheap rope at all

[@Mr_CM_]

U need to have a mate to use a 150 jump rope??? 😮😮 Daaamn

[@SivaR1020]

You bought a weighted rope set and telling everyone that you can't do tricks with it because it is heavy? then you compare it with Rush Athletics rope and saying RA rope is better because it is light? Wow why can't you make a fair comparison? This video just looks like a paid promotion for Rush Athletics ropes since Rush Athletics recently made a clone of Cross Ropes.

[@Krufessor_Rad]

I bought a weighted rope out of curiosity for Crossrope as I've never come across a weighted rope I liked. Initially I liked the Crossrope and even bought another set. I used them for a year, but as I got better on jump ropes I learned I prefer the plastic style jump rope after trying the Rush Athletics rope. I'm saying it's better, to me, because I like training with it more than a $150 Crossrope at the time of the video. This is my overall opinion which Crossrope founder Dave Hunt discussed with me in my previous video comments. We discussed how the heavy crossrope is a good starting rope, but some people move on to regular plastic jump rope once they become comfortable jumping rope. Then I was made aware of the Crossrope Freestyle LE Limited Edition jump rope which I bought and have been training with and recently completed a video on. I wish I was paid for my content, but sadly, I have not been offered any paid promotions or sponsorships. Maybe someday. Thank you very much for the comments and thank you for watching.
