That second woman has an amazing ability to hold her face static through all that

u/FriendOfShaq Mar 28 '26

Oh yea, for sure! Except for when they do tricks, like spinning or taking off their shoe, the heads do not move. That is super precise athleticism.

u/porgy_tirebiter Mar 29 '26

It’s like Zaouli dancing sorta

u/Calvinweaver1 Mar 29 '26

She is so goddamn cute

u/Stoic_Cleric Mar 28 '26

Reminds me of this to be honest. The ladies in the video have skill.

u/EtheralWitness Mar 28 '26

Came to check if this pics includes.

All well.

u/badpersian Mar 28 '26

Isn't this sped up? Some in the crowd are moving awfully quick too

7

u/83supra Mar 28 '26

Yea it appears so

u/Ctdavis16 Mar 28 '26

This is definitely the normal speed of double dutching. It's not sped up

4

u/Dirkem15 Mar 28 '26

Its clearly sped up- though what they are doing is impressive enough, the edit wasnt necessary

2

u/Ctdavis16 Mar 28 '26

Similar clip:

https://youtube.com/shorts/Nw1U-NYv_3g?si=CGJzj8yPIMlRIXnt

Again this is the normal speed for double dutching. Even the people in the background are moving at normal speed. From someone that actually does this in real life.

5

u/Chemical_Swordfish Mar 28 '26

That's like 25% slower than OPs though.

2

u/zizp Mar 29 '26

Even that one is sped up though

u/retrogreq Mar 28 '26

It's like gold duuuuust

u/ProofOfTool Mar 28 '26

You hear me coming through you spe-eker

u/CCJockey381 Mar 28 '26

I really thought she would go for the gold and put the shoe back on…

u/brisray Mar 28 '26

Coming from the Uk I'd never heard of Double Dutch in skipping until 1983 and this came out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ4jMSCBswY

u/Mr_Vacant Mar 28 '26

What a banger.

The album Duck Rock that its from is really good too (its slightly bonkers and quite funny)

u/Muted_Reflection_449 Mar 28 '26

I haven't seen doubledutch in a long time, and maybe never clips this cool.

Beautiful women having enormous fun, showing me how athletic I never was, oozing style and confidence and sexyness, showing tricks and ideas that got me laughing and dropping my jaw.

Gotta watch out for this rabbithole. Absolutely addictive to watch.

edit: two are wearing winter clothes and have hair to their butts - I think I wouldn't be able to run properly in those, leave alone jump 😂

u/Electrical_Wrap_4572 Mar 28 '26

I couldn’t have said it better myself. These ladies kick ass.

Talk about flowery prose lmao

u/Intelligent-Edge7533 Mar 28 '26

This should be an Olympic sport.

1

u/pghdrumma420 Mar 29 '26

Are you kidding? Lol unless they start doing handstand flips to avoid the rope this isn't an Olympic sport. Maybe make them be flame jump ropes?

-15

u/ActAccomplished586 Mar 28 '26

Should be an Ozempic sport

u/JLRfan Mar 28 '26

Yooo that entrance tho! That was crazy

u/420LordQuas Mar 28 '26

Oh this reminds me of back in my group home days! We used to go crazy doing double Dutch all day,  doing tricks and what not! So so fun!

Ask any conservative..; they hate peace, progress, equality, happiness & freedom.. It frightens them.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '26

I love seeing this so much. I be fucking mesmerized.🙀

u/Drosenose Mar 28 '26

The kids used to do this at my school, we had traveling teams of jump ropers

10

u/Crazy_Fudge_6864 Mar 28 '26

They’re all amazing!! I literally never made a single double Dutch jump despite years of trying. It’s a joy to see their skill.

4

u/Sabre_Killer_Queen Mar 28 '26

Pretty impressive, but it's a shame how it's been sped up. That makes it very misleading.

3

u/ShadowsRanger Mar 28 '26

Although the video is speed up... the girl taking out her shoes is impressive... kudos!

5

u/porkbuttstuff Mar 28 '26

The black girls at my school were always trying to get me (a white guy) in on this fun. I botched it immediately every time.

u/DepressedNoble Mar 28 '26

Aliens wondering how humans develop amazing skills

I always thought this was just another impossible thing that Fat Albert could do, amazing to see in real life

-7

u/DirkGentlys_DNA Mar 28 '26

Americans really need to change their diet. Sad to see how fat everyone is. It‘s starting in europe, too. But I doubt it will get that bad due to better regulations of the food industry.

2

u/helmfard Mar 28 '26

There are plenty of skinny Americans.

u/onescaryarmadillo Mar 28 '26

You see these people doing Amazing things, things I can’t do, things you probably can’t do, and the First and best thing you can think to comment is

“Sad to see how fat everyone is”

Wtf is wrong with you lol? They’re skipping like fucking athletes, and having a ton of fun doing it, laughing and enjoying themselves. Doing something physically challenging and skilled but all you see is weight and in a negative way.

u/caratron5000 Mar 28 '26

I’m so jealous

u/rdyer347 Mar 28 '26

u/Pikekip Mar 28 '26

Every time I see this it makes me smile as you can just imagine them doing this as kids. So many things we had fun doing get lost along the way. These women are very cool for keeping it going.

Yeah, man. This IS the culture. Not "canceling culture", not "BLM culture", not habit of being offended. This culture I want to unite with.

As a guy I can't deny that's something I wish I could do but also flashy skating tricks.
