I recently got certified by jumprope.com.
You are doing what is called a double bounce, it's not bad but makes progressing to harder foot skills difficult.You need to focus on jumping slower and swinging the rope faster. If your wrist strength is not enough to go any faster you can easily train it by holding both handles with one hand and swinging the rope as fast as you can, you can do this forward, backward, above your head, etc... just be sure to do the same amount of work with both arms.
Also what type of rope do you have?

I bought my jump rope from dollar store... Cheap for a start haha.
Lately I do 30 minutes jumping slow, one jump, not double jump and I was able to do non stop 31 times without fail while I do for 30 minutes
I am not sure what kind rope is best for me.
I am 5'4 and 160lb.
I wear cross-train light shoes for fitness.
Edit:
I once remember that rope must be at least long from your under arm to other under arm and I just measured it, almost 8 feet long. Or should I get 9 feet?
Where should I practice with it?
Short ropes go faster, but a longer one might be easier, it depends where in the cycle it hits the ground, you want it to hit just by your feet. You are on the edge between being recommended for a 8 or 9 foot rope.
You should probably get some sort of speed rope, I find it is much easier to swing the rope quickly since they are designed to go quickly, the cord tends to be much lighter.
When I started jumping rope I focused on doing 140 jumps, trying to do it in as few sets as possible. If you go too long when starting out you will quickly get tired and then lose your good form, and then you are just reinforcing bad form and that will be much harder to unlearn later, also much higher chance of injury.
I think you should only do around 200 jumps per session, and use the rest of the 30 minutes to practise jumping without the rope and swinging the rope as i said in the first post, you can also jump while swinging it like that.
