Skipping rope as an after school activity is mad fun, but what if it were synchronised skipping with 70 of your schoolmates?

As part of their graduation program, a group of six graders from the Shizuoka Prefecture's Fuji Jump Rope Association in Fuji City, Japan put together an impressive jump rope show, reported RocketNews.

Not content to just blow minds by jumping in sync, their formation sees them looping over in an infinite figure-eight.

Let's face it, if any of us attempted this, we'd be tasting the ground more than victory.
