    Duran doing cross rope kasatskis is about as impressive a skipping trick as I've seen any champion perform. I also tried it, and it's something that can burn the thighs pretty quickly.

    Without a doubt, Tommy Burns has the most impressive filmed efforts, and i dont think anyone comes even close. I think it is Janitor who first alerted us to the Tommy Burns Levitation skip and it is their in film for all to see. To this day, no one has managed to duplicate it.

    As far as heavyweights go

    Burns was indeed great

    So were Jefferies and Patterson
