That spinning over the bar via your knee with jumper wrapped around the bar was SOP when I was in primary school...everyone kept count, and nobody threw up

Is that how they are doing it? I was watching it over and over and trying to figure out what those little monkeys were doing it (lol) btw what is SOP again? I can understand the main weight is on the knee crux, but what exactly are they doing with their jumper?

I would seriously consider trying it for the fun of it and the health benefit (LOL) It would be an excellent therapeutic exercise (like trampolining) for stimulating the lymph circulation... but I can't exactly see how they are doing it!...

Military term.. S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure)

"jumper" is used for friction (skin doesn't like rapid movement against metal).

Keep this in mind however:

Those kids probably weigh 35-50lbs... the stress on their knee would be far less than an adult doing the same; I would advice against it.

^ what he said...

The primary school had the nickname "Little Chicago", and had an awesome playground, 20 foot climbing frames, tractor tyres and these horizontal bars not quite 3' off the ground.

Stand on one leg and put the second one over, with your jumper wrapped around the bar and in the crutch of your knee. Reach under the bar and grab with both hands just below kneecap.

When first starting, easiest just to fall backwards and try to swing over with momentum...

When you get the hang of it, try forwards, hunching over on the top, and swinging low (straight back) on the way down, to build angular momentum. Pendulum in a pen case, swinging will give you the feel, pull the cord tight as it goes over the top, let it slack on the way down.

As an adult, you will do serious carnage, and probably end up with legs like Gumby

Probably just a yearning to re-experience my youth, I missed out on that one. But definitely worth sharing with other kids... that's what being a kid is all about...
