Straw rope making
When you hear “rope,” do you automatically think of the ones sold at home improvement stores? Actually, you can make it yourself! If you ever get a chance to pick up straw from a rice field after the harvest, why not try making a straw rope? That can be a lot of fun, too!
Cool! Jump rope performance
If you’re tired of ordinary jump rope, we recommend this “performance jump rope.” Instead of just jumping, you add a bit of performance to your moves.
As you know, there are plenty of tricks like double unders and criss-crosses, and you can work in footwork steps, too—the depth and variety are really great!
flat loop
One of the tools used in juggling is the trick rope.
It’s a type of performance art derived from the lasso, and the simplest move is said to be the flat loop.
Since it isn’t very well known, if you learn it and perform it as entertainment at a party, you’re sure to get a big round of applause.
It seems you can buy one from online shops that sell juggling equipment.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced fun rope-based games, recreational activities, and cool DIYs—what did you think? Ropes can be a bit tricky to handle, but there are so many enjoyable ways to use them! Be sure to use these ideas as a reference and have fun with your friends or during your free solo time.
