Re: the Chinese jumprope

In Trinidad we called this ‘elastic’. You would start with it around 2 people’s ankles and there were different routines you had to follow, involving jumping in, out, over the two elastics, “mashing” or stepping on then, before you could move up to knee length and then finally the hardest one was jumping in and out when it was on your friends’ hips or waists.

One of the routines was “BINGO”.
