Has anyone experienced using this for jumping rope and would you recommend it for that purpose?

Yes. These ropes are actually the ones that I have used at my local gym. They are very durable but not super heavy. The handles are comfortable if you're using it for longer periods of time. Sometimes I use jump roping as my cardio work out for the day and jump up to 10 minutes at a time with no problems. I took them wrapped up out of the package and they "unkinked" in a day or two. I have had them and used them outdoors for about two months now and they have not worn at all. I would recommend these to anyone.

It is way too long for a jump rope. If you cut it, you could make 3-4 jump ropes. You would have to put some type of handle on it. Hope this helps!

As a daily use rope I'd say no. That said it would work just fine for intermittent use as long as you realize it's not a fall-rated rope like a static-line or climbing rope. General use is where it's shines due to it's light weight and easy handling texture. For the money it's hard to beat.

We use with a tube and works great to hold rope out of water. Would think it would be fine with a skier too.

Yeah I would say it could be used for tricks, but only if you know how. if you get the whip and it isn't working....It isn't the whip it is you. So yes I would say that this would be a great whip, especially for learning, but also for advanced uses as well!

I did. I purchased three hooks and hung it to the ceiling stud forming a "box" shape for climbing, over a bouncy "jump-o-lene. But my daughter is only 18 mo. Old, she's a hellova climber, but she slipped and nearly HUNG herself with her neck caught in the rope. I would mount it to a vertical stud on the wall, and anchor it to a floor stud making a diagonal climb. Or you can mount it on the roof like I did, only make sure your child has enough upper body strength to pull themself up from a precarious entanglement. I would however play it safe and mount it diagonally. Hope you have no love for the carpet! Lol :) I did.

Since it is not intended for such uses, I cannot recommend using the harness that way. It is an excellent, well-fitting harness and it has ample strength so it would work for those applications. It just may not be the optimal solution for that.

Hi... i have used it for doing rafting and it is ok if it fix you properly... so that, yes, you can use it without any trouble.

Yes, you are able to use this rope outside and you are able to perform the criss-cross with this rope. I have done it several times. If you are used to a non-wire rope, the feel is different as the rope responds differently as opposed to plastic. The wire is coated with a nice, slick plastic and is very durable. Unless you are using it on some rugged concrete (which is typically not-recommended as concrete does not provide much cushion for your knee), you should be ok with this. If you ARE using it on a concrete surface with a jagged texture, expect some scratches and eventually the rope may give.

My children use it to hang from. I have it on a rope between two trees and they hang and kick off of the trees back and forth.

Not sure this is the right answer but I don't see why not. The biggest obvious issue would be just like if you were using it as a tow rope would be weight load issue. This rope is rated for two people with a max weight somewhere in the low 300lbs. Don't know exact manu. specs. I would check into that! Hope this helps

I have used this type of rope for climbing. I bought some grip tape an wrapped it at intervals the length of the climb. It worked fine. 1.5in dia. is the most common for climbing.

Hi, I would NOT use this as a box jump. It really is only good for step-up-step-down or for doing an elevated lunge. However, if you buy the full-size step, then you could use that for the box jump (it comes w four riders, but I would buy two more to add some height). I'm sorry I know the high step has a good price, but it is not safe to be used as a plyo box.

Yes. I am over 200 pounds and use it for crossfit workouts requiring box jumps. No issues. Very Sturdy.

When you fall, the distance you fall is very important as to how strong the rope needs to be as is the weight of the person falling. To be safe I don't think this would be a good choose for anyone. A much better choose would be a length of climbing rope which you could get at REI by the foot so your cost wouldn't be too high. This is really cord NOT rope.
