Rock steady. Oh hey, I'm your man Jump rope Levi James you caught me doing the Mick release. In case you're interested in how this is done you're gonna fall along with this video. A few simple steps will get you on the way to doing your first Mick release. So grab your jump rope, maybe grab your timer to keep yourself organized and let's get busy. So the important thing with the Mick release is obviously the release and the catch. It's gonna take a little bit to get used to so don't be worried if you're gonna drop your rope a few times. I guarantee you definitely will until you get the timing down. The important thing is to understand what is the release and what is the drive. I'm right handed so I like to release to my left. I'm oriented my jump rope handles to make sure that my release handle is on the left side so it's actually easier to track as opposed to the dark blue handle. So when you see me releasing you're just gonna see me releasing to the left side of myself the right side of your screen. That is actually my left hand. If you are right handed I do recommend that you do it this way. It's like this. I'm gonna go sideswipe. Right, left, right, left and just release. That's the first thing you do is just let the handle go and spin the rope on the right hand side. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna do four side swipes. Right, left, right and left on the last left. That's where we're gonna let the handle go and we're gonna drive with the right hand. So the right hand is just gonna keep spinning as if you still had your hand on that handle watching once. Here we go. Get that side swipe going, counting. One, two, three. Let it go and spin. I'm gonna turn just 90 degrees here. You see what happens when you're looking from the side. Alright guys, so from the side this is what it looks like. We're still gonna go right, left, right, left action on the fourth side swipe. Right, left, right, left. Okay? So you notice that I'm letting the handle go off towards my side directly to the side, not to the front and not to the back. My right hand is gonna continue to rotate as if my hand was still on the handle. This is very important because this is gonna carry the momentum all the way through to allow you back to the catch. One more time. Right, left, right, release and go. Now you notice that handle stays sort of up in this area here. All I have to do is keep my hand out here and naturally that rope handle is gonna come right back into my hand watching again nice and close. Here we go guys, right, left, right, left. Right, left, right, left, spin and catch. There you go, magic. Not really magic comes in a lot of practice. Make sure you keep your hand out, thumb out and open, palm nice and open so as soon as you feel that handle come into your hand you're gonna clasp it. Except it's gonna be in this orientation just like that. Let's try it again. One, two, three, four, catch. Right, left, right, left, spin. And catch. There you go. So your hand is gonna be pretty much out exactly where you left it. If you spin it properly you should come right back into your hand. Right, left, right, left, spin and catch. There it is. All right let's try it again. Right, left, right, left and catch. Exactly. Perfect. Now from the front again. Right, left, right, spin and catch. Sometimes this may happen. That's totally fine. As you move forward you're gonna find that the handle will come back into the hand as long as you keep going. Let's try it one more time. Right, left, right, spin catch. And there you go. You've caught the handle. Well done. So you're gonna mess this up many, many times but it's over practice and persistent practice that it'll make it perfect. Let's try it again. Here we go. Ready? One, two, three, release. Catch and trap. Let's try it again. Right, left, right, spin catch, release and trap. All right guys so you've got the elements to make yourself nice and bossy on your jump rope programming. That is your make release. I'm your man jump rope. Levi James.
