�A ghost stole my mom�s watch!�

�My family had just moved into a new house, and

I had heard all these creepy stories about it.

Supposedly a 12-year-old boy named Fred had

died there years ago, and he still haunts the house.

But why would I believe those stories? I convinced

myself that people were just trying to freak me out.

Then, one day, my mom went out for a few

hours and left me home alone. When she got back,

she came into my room and asked, �Katie, did you

borrow my watch?� �No,� I said. She looked

confused. �I left it on my bureau, and it�s gone,� she

said. We searched everywhere, but the watch

was nowhere to be found. But I knew no one had

been in the house but me - so where did it go?

Exactly a year later, Mom walked into her

bedroom - and the watch was sitting on her bureau!

There was a note beside it that said, �Sorry about

your watch. I never learned to tell time.� Here�s the

scariest part: it was signed, �Fred.� Now I know all

those scary stories about my house are true!�

Skipping your Way to Fitness

The playground sport is right back in fashion, reports Nicholas Roe

1 A rope screams through the air at 200 revs a

minute, energy is burned at the jaw-sagging

rate of 1,300 calories an hour and miracles

of physical activity are performed in front of

cheering crowds. Welcome to the new, super

cool world of � skipping. Once considered

childish, this ancient playtime skill 3 . And

what�s emerging is not just an effective route

to mass fitness for little outlay (£5 buys a

decent rope), but a new place for Britain�s

young athletes in a growing international

sport that�s intriguing to watch.

2 Fiercely competitive, hugely intricate and

physically demanding, skipping � also known

as rope-jumping � also shows signs of being,

quite literally, the new rock �n roll. Singer

James Morrison recently featured a team of

competition skippers in his music video You Give Me Something. 4 , Britain�s

best skippers returned from the World Rope Jumping Championships in Canada

this summer with a creditable fourth place.

3 Four years ago the British Rope Skipping Association (BRSA) started trying

to raise the profile of the sport, persuading television shows such as Blue Peter

to focus on the subtle complexity of rope work, which can involve 200 different

kinds of �jump�. Directors loved the fancy footwork and youthful profile. Huge

efforts were also being ploughed into getting skipping back into the playground.

This year saw Britain establishing a new world record when 7,632 children

skipped continuously for three minutes in 85 locations, backed by teachers who

consider rope-work to be a great way to improve youth fitness.

4 �Skipping went out of fashion because video games and PlayStations came

along,� says Sue Dalem, secretary of the BRSA. �But teachers are now pushing

to bring it back.� Dalem says that young people are instantly amazed at what is

possible with just a simple rope. Her own daughters, Beci, 18, and Rachael, 17,

started as seven-year-olds and now skip for Britain: �We skip four or five times a

week for two or three hours at a time,� says Rachael. �It�s fun.�

5 And this is the key. 6 basic skipping is simple, and almost anyone with

five square feet of free space can do it, there�s a genuinely attractive art to

higher-level work. Half a dozen clubs in Britain regularly compete.

6 In speed contests, the world record is 188 jumps in 30 seconds. More

creatively, rope-jumpers use one or even two long ropes held by team members

to perform cartwheels, push-ups, handstands and aerial leaps while avoiding a

rope spinning at 200 rpm. Skipping for 10 minutes is said to be the equivalent of

GT-0071-a-12-1-o 5 lees verder

30 minutes� jogging, and it tones the upper body as well as the legs. The truly

extraordinary thing, perhaps, is that this antique pastime ever lost its mass

appeal in the first place.

7 Although the trend has been reversed, one remaining challenge is that many

young men still consider skipping an off-puttingly girly activity. This is surprising,

given that boxers rely on skipping for endurance training. And when was Mike

Tyson ever a sissy?

Big Kids on the Block

Johnny Dee

1 Last Saturday, an account manager

from south-east London spent

seven hours sitting in her Vauxhall

Zafira parked outside the house of

a stranger she knew only as the

Giraffe. �It was,� she says, �one of

the most exciting things I've ever

done.� The woman, who would like

to be known as Agent Squirtel, in

order to protect her identity from

rogue commandos, was taking part

in StreetWars Killer, a water-pistol

assassin game that has turned 150

Londoners into paranoid snipers

with super-soakers. At about 8am

her target emerged from his house

and she gave chase down the

street, successfully aiming her gun

at his upper torso. It was only then

that she realised she had squirted

the wrong man: it was the Giraffe's

flatmate, Dave. �He was OK about

it,� she says. �It was a hot day, he

said he would dry out.�

2 StreetWars is just one of many

large-scale urban games being

played in cities all across the

world. All of them are similar in that

information spreads via the

internet. To anyone who chances

upon them on the street, they

seem like surreal, random events.

All of them also utilise wireless

technology such as GPRS1), use

real streets rather than boards or

computer screens as their game's

grid, and all resemble childhood

games in their simplicity.

3 �They definitely appeal to people

with a Peter Pan complex2),� says

Yutai Liao, a San Francisco

graphics designer whose alter ego,

the Mustache Commander, is

behind the StreetWars craze.

�Where's the law that states that

once you get to a set age you can

only have fun by going to dinner

parties with other adult friends?�

The average age of competitors,

says Liao, is 25.

4 Frank Lantz, a US college

lecturer who encouraged his

students to play a human game of

Pac-Man, believes the social

aspect is the main reason why

urban games are becoming a

trend. �A lot of these games use

new technology but they're also

about a return to the classic values

of pre-computer gaming: face-to-

face social interaction,� he says.

�I also think there's something

appealing about 14 to run

around public space creating a

spectacle.�
