I am looking for a Jump Rope Mat. Will this slide around? I will be putting it on the concret or deck outside. Thanks!

It is not thick, at all. I, too, skip rope, but I only skip rope on a solid surface (concrete pad or wood structure). Having said that, if you want to skip rope on a mat, this is probably the best choice unless you are interested in shelling out a lot more money for a tatami mat (the type of mat that is used in a Judo dojo).

I have not used it in that way, but would suspect that it might be a problem with some sliding. The bottom surface of the mat is very smooth and I can slide my exercise cycle around on the carpet by grabbing the edges of the mat. A concrete surface might give it more stability, but with the jumping I think it might slide.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.

Do you have a high gate or fence in your yard? If so, then yes it will stay in place. We ordered 2 palettes and they seemed to have stayed in place rain or wind . Your trampoline flew across? That's crazy! Well at least this is rubber, even if it flew across but it shouldn't . I feel like when it's clumped together in one place, nothing will fly away in the wind

It slides around everytime that you step on it. Check out Bed n Bath and Costco as I have now purchased their mats and they do stay in place.

it has velcro on one end that will hook to the other, we have used it on carpet at school, and it does not seem to slide at all. We love the mat, the different colors make it possible to play games, like jumping from one color to another etc. We are pleased with this purchase for the children in our center.

When you move it by hand, It definitely slides on pergo (laminate) floor when it is completely open. However, my 2 year old runs and walks over them (I have 2 mats completely open) and they don't move.

This board has a rough surface designed for a yoga mat not to slide. I don't know if it would work for a dance move such as this. Not sure if it would be wide enough either. if you had socks on or dance shoes it might work for you. This is just my opinion hope it helps.

I believe so, but depending on the floor it may slide. I would put some rubberized mats or carpet stops under it to help prevent it if the floor is slick.

I don't think that it will slide on berber carpet. We have hardwood floors and area rugs. It slides on our hardwood, but not on the area rugs. It doesn't slide on our cement patio either. I am impressed with the mat. It has just the right firmness for my daughter to safely practice her tumbling.

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

Our mat lays flat on very thick carpet and the edge is tapered. It is very thick and the edge does not curl so I don't think you should worry about tripping on this mat. With that being said be careful when transitioning from one type of flooring to another kind because no one wants to fall.

Yes the mat will stay in place. I am using it right now on a wood table. I had to wash it first , because it stinks , smells. But after a few days it is not so bad. After a week you can' smell anything. Wash in soapy water and let air dry. Again it does not move on my table . I like the mat. I play games on it with no movement. My mouse slides nicely on it.

If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side. The spikes are barely needed IMO. We have 2" wrestling mats placed at the bottom of the slide and around the perimeter to the side entrance to add extra cushion for falls and to help keep their socks from getting filthy. I have a very large foyer with 20" ceilings and have allowed the kids to set it up inside with the mats a few times on very cold or rainy days when they needed to get rid of their wiggles thru physical play. I place a few mats underneath and surround the perimeter and it barely moves on slippery hardwood floors. If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side.

I have found that tucking it under edge of desk at one corner does the trick. For he most part it doesn't slide around much and certainly not when seated. Great mat and good value!

Yes its a good mat, you can probably find a smaller one but this one works great especially if you like the extra room. I don't have a problem with it slipping

I'd be afraid that the runner would slide around if it's placed on top of wet mud. The plastic is ribbed on the top side, and very smooth on the under side. There aren't any gripper teeth to hold the plastic in place. I've used this product to line wire shelves. It's a nice weight, but if you walk on it, be sure to anchor it down for your own safety.
