My boys have lived their jump ropes. I almost shipped it back when they arrived with a green handle & pink rope (tube for lights). My boys don't care for anything pink - and the picture makes it look like it's green handles & green rope (tubing). I'm glad I didn't ship them back, because my boys overlooked the pink & have played with these jump ropes every single day for the month that they've had them. And other kids who come over love them too. It's a challenge. They've held up so far, so I think we've got our money's worth already! Another hit, Hearthsong! Thank you!
