How to do it
- Jump higher than usual and speed up the wrist turn.
- The rope must pass twice under your feet in a single jump.
- String together what you can, then return to the basic bounce to recover.
Common mistakes

- Letting the arms drift away from the body as you speed up.
Tips
- Practise one double every five single skips first.
- Hard on the calves: don't do it the day before heavy legs.
