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!!

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

Thanks Juan, I'm glad you're enjoying the rope and the review! You're right, it's a good mid tier rope. 🙏🏾

[@gracehc9356]

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!

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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. 🙂💪🏽

[@MrBEARBLAST]

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!

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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!

[@caveman357]

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

[@brightantwerp]

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)

So I just got my jump rope dudes freestyle le the other day and they started packing it in a circle just like you say they should!

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

That's awesome. I saw that they came with a new rope. It looks cool! I heard that they started packing it circular, which is great!

[@myguysneaker1479]

Nice vid man .. maybe some tutorials soon. Was able to watch ur older tutorial got some tricks down

Sneaker, you're right about the tutorials. I'm going to work on one this week for release next week. I've been slacking on tutorials.

[@theyo9619]

In my opinion, this Would've been incredible if they added 2 1/2 inches to the handle length and made it a 4 mm instead of 5mm. Great review!

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

The Yo, I wish they had done that as well. I'm not sure why they didn't. Maybe that'll be their next project. That'd be cool. Thank you for your support!

[@CaptainLeftHook]

Amazing skills. I wish I could jump like that.

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

Thank you. You can jump like that. It just takes practice. This video has a clip of me when I first started jumping: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJObYqiHh89_htk

[@mentaliusDK]

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.

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

Awesome. That sounds look a cool combination.

[@heavyDuty113]

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

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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.

[@brotherabram4855]

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.

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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.

[@thehishamahmad]

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.

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

Hisham, I'm glad boiling made it easier to use. Thanks for sharing and watching the review. I appreciate it. 🙏🏾

[@soloman01uk]

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.

[@dnullify100]

Check out the crossrope bolt, if you haven't already. I really like mine, more than my 1/4lb

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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]

The Bolt is a solid choice.

[@soloman01uk]

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.

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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.

[@marcocapaccioni2086]

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 !

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

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.

[@tinalewis6782]

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.

Tina, thank you for your support! The handles are great, I agree. I think that's a good plan. Let me know how it works. Have a great night!

[@tinalewis6782]

@@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.
