Rope Warrior David Fisher showed the kids extreme jump rope tricks.

Students at Indian Hill School and Maple Dale Middle School had the chance to jump rope alongside a world-record holding rope jumper, David Fisher, Friday.

The schools have participated in Jump Rope for Heart, a project of the American Heart Association, for more than 30 years.
