How to do the alternate foot jump with a jump rope?

I recently started jump roping; I love it.
I want to learn how to do the alternate foot jump because I try it and it just doesn't work.
How do you do it? Tips and tricks?

I thought it was like skipping: remember doing that as a child? Jump on one over the rope; when it comes around again, jump on the other foot. The jump actually has a tiny jump after it. It seems to come naturally with the timing of the turning of the rope.

(I just went outside to try it out and I confirmed it with my kids.)

Jumping rope is wonderful exercise. It's a little too hard on my joints, so sometimes I jump on a trampoline using the same arm movements.

You know, I'm no expert. I could be wrong and then be totally embarrassed by the next person answering.

If you can do it, though, more power to you!
