Hi Landa,

It actually feels fine jumping on concrete (no leg pain or anything),
but to avoid future problems I went ahead and got the skipping mat
available at:
http://www.ijumprope.com/supjumropmat.html

That should take care of the problem.

I also got the skipping video (http://www.ijumprope.com/invid.html)
which is really motivating to watch.

The biggest improvement to my skipping program has been the recent
addition of a non-skip MiniDisk player - skipping without skipping is
the way to go!
