Here's what Tim Haft, founder of Punk Rope, has to say about Double Dutch:

"What I find amazing about Double Dutch is the interplay between the turners and the jumpers and how all the participants need to be perfectly in synch. t's challenging enough just to jump in, but when you see some of the stunts hat the top teams pull off, it's absolutely mind-boggling. If you've never seen world-class Double Dutch, then make sure you get to the Apollo on December 19. You won't be disappointed."
