Did you jump rope in school?

I tried and tried and tried (nearly broke my neck once) but I could never jump double dutch either.

I loved jumping rope in school! But I could not do the double dutch. I tried to hard too! And it would just amaze me how girls could do it and even jump in when they already had both ropes moving. I just couldn't figure out the right timing and how they were able to do it! Some of my friend tried to teach me once...I got by a few rounds...but sure enough, I was the one with the sore ankles from the hard plastic pegs on the jump ropes. ha ha
