Very well done Edward!!! I am an Electrical Engineering Technician with 31 years tenure and this is the way we roll ALL of our cords. This includes standard extension cords along with specialty cords for various high and low voltage test equipment. I can't believe how many videos there are on here of that quasi-figure 8 thing. Our way is far superior and simpler to boot!!! Cheers and thanks for the video once again.
The simple answer to your question is probably: alternate the loops if that is required to keep the cord from twisting. I have been doing it this way for years, and demonstrating it this way for years. Other people like to use the words over and under, but I like the words that are more general such as keep it from becoming twisted. This basically requires you to feel the tension on or in the cord as you wind it up.

👍
I was using elbow because i tought it was more efficient/quick or that it made the loops more even, but thanks for showing me the light.
Nice demo. Are you supposed to alternate the direction of the loops?
