I just ordered this rope but im concerned about 2 things Can this rope be used outside ? Can we do a Criss-Cross Jump with this rope ?

Yes, you are able to use this rope outside and you are able to perform the criss-cross with this rope. I have done it several times. If you are used to a non-wire rope, the feel is different as the rope responds differently as opposed to plastic. The wire is coated with a nice, slick plastic and is very durable. Unless you are using it on some rugged concrete (which is typically not-recommended as concrete does not provide much cushion for your knee), you should be ok with this. If you ARE using it on a concrete surface with a jagged texture, expect some scratches and eventually the rope may give.

I think so, but I'm not using mine now. I think that worst case scenario would be that you might need to sit on a stool or tie on an extension to the rope. No big deal in my opinion.

This is a climbing rope (dynamic). Good quality items included with this high quality rope. Keep in mind this isn't designed to be used for descending/rappelling.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

I would not use it as a resistance rope. I think the rope would slip out of the handles if pulled upon too much. Great jump rope though. Love mine and use it 5-6 times a week. One to the best ones that I have owned.

NEVER use this rope for actual climbing. Only for utility use. For mountain and wall climbing ropes, use ropes designed for that particular purpose. Yes they are more expensive, but your life is on the line. For more information about climbing ropes, contact a well respected outdoor store. Better yet try finding a local climbing club or indoor wall climbing place. Please be careful in your future climbing ventures.

It might be hard enough, but I would be afraid you would lose too much bounce, as it will likely deaden the jump, Also, the mat is relatively tall, so the rope would probably catch too much. Good luck!

The actual tube fits in a protective canvas donut like sleeve. so there is some protection from tearing or cutting the tube its self. I have not tried that. seems to me snow would have more resistance than water and would put more stress on the rope loops but ive seen crazier things towed. I would consult the manufacturer.

I seems to be a nylon rope. It did start to wear at the center where it was anchored so we wrapped it with duct tape. I would expect this kind of wear with any rope because of the movement.

Yes, it can be used outside. I only use it on the pavement or blacktop. As for Criss-Cross I dont know. I havent been able to get there yet, but I assume its possible.

I would be careful using it on concrete a lot. You can do a criss cross with this rope. Just make sure you have your rope at the correct length. Then cut the remainder off.

Use it anywhere! I only use it outdoors. It does beat up the rope a little bit and using it indoors keeps it in better shape but I would rather workout outdoors any day!! Check out YouTube "battle rope workouts" to get a great variety of exercises!! What a great workout!!

Would not work well and spring mechanism would break down quickly in my opinion. Very well made and will last for years with correct weight limit but if you plan on using for exercise I think you will be dissapointed. I suggest a good speed rope for adult jumping exercise. :)

Depends on where you live, I suppose, but I would be concerned that the sun's ultraviolet light would cause premature deterioration of the fabric and/or the bungee cords. Outdoors bouncing sounds great but I would probably tend to take the tramp back inside upon completing my workout.

I am not sure if you can wrap over existing rope as I have not done it. It seems to me that if rope is tightly wrapped and secured that it would work but I am not sure.

Let me start first by saying that the workout itself is one of the toughest I have ever done. I am reasonably fit and strong but the rope workout reminds me of doing wind sprints back in college, except this one is for the whole body. I made a mistake of wrapping the rope around a square shaped patio pole whose fairly sharp edge scuffed the rope after about ten minutes of use. So I would suggest you anchor, or wrap the rope around a tree or even better a rounded metal pole. That way the rope will last a long time. I hope this helps.

You can use the rope outdoors but do not use it directly on concrete as it will destroy the cable very quickly. All cable jump ropes should only be used on a smooth non-abrasive surface. If the only surface you have available is concrete then be sure to put a small sheet of vinyl or a thin floor mat down and jump on that.
