    Jump Rope Tricks & Freestyle Flow with Davy Stahl (Ep. 42)

    Meet Davy Stahl—aka @davy_jumps—the guy who made the kickback so smooth at the Chicago Jump Rope Meetup that half the beach tried it the next day. 😅 In this episode, we swap stories about freestyle flow, beaded vs. PVC, and why hand position is the secret sauce for clean crosses, Southpaws, and (yes) kickbacks. We also get into Davy’s “concentration face,” how he pairs jump rope with lifting, and the surprisingly wholesome joy of neighbors cheering from the sidewalk. Plus: starting a college jump rope club, escaping injuries through smarter movement, and the science-y puzzle of timing that turns “am I even leaving the ground?” into silky-smooth efficiency. We also nerd out on gear (Elite SRS, Blue Philosophy, extended handles), routine building from freestyle, and why slowing the rope down on purpose can make your highlight trick pop on the bass drop. 🤘🏽 If you love jump rope, skipping rope, fun fitness, freestyle creativity, or just need a dose of community vibes, this one’s pure rope therapy. Subscribe, rate, and leave a comment—then send it to a friend who needs a new party trick. 🙌🏽 --- Follow Us Guest — Davy Stahl: @davy_jumps Host — Dizzy Skips: @dizzyskips Show — The Jump Rope Podcast: @jumpropepodcast --- Rope4Hope Promotion On September 13, join Rope4Hope—a 1-minute skip to benefit cancer research.

    “Jump Rope Is My Sudoku” – Sarah Caldwell on Skipping, Sunshine & Staying Sharp (Ep. 41)

    “Jump rope is my Sudoku, my crossword puzzle.” 🧩☀️ That’s how Sarah Caldwell (@leaps_and_bounds62) describes her skipping sessions — and honestly, it’s the perfect hook. In this episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, Sarah shares how she found jump rope during the pandemic, why it keeps her brain sharp at age 66, and how meetups, coaching, and the community have brought sunshine to her world. We talk footwork, proprioception (yep, big word), rope-bending, and what it means to jump for joy instead of views. Sarah’s story is living proof that it’s never too late to pick up a rope, play, and thrive. 💡 Expect wisdom, laughter, and a reminder that staying injury-free is the real flex. ⸻ FOLLOW Guest: Sarah Caldwell (@leaps_and_bounds62) Host: Dizzy Skips (@dizzyskips) Show: The Jump Rope Podcast (@jumpropepodcast) ⸻ Are you ready to Rope4Hope?

    Crosses, Combos & Community: Tracy Gajewski (Ep. 40)

    Tracy Gajewski (@tracyjumps2.0) might be quiet off the rope, but the moment she picks one up—it's velvet thunder. In this episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, Tracy shares her journey from skipping with The Wizards jump rope demo team at age six to taking a 20-year break and then coming back with more joy, combos, and community love than ever. We talk about why crosses are her happy place, the meditative calm of spinning beads, and what it’s like showing up at jump rope meetups as an introvert. You’ll also hear stories from the Chicago jump rope meetup, laughs about rope mishaps, and Tracy’s wisdom on how jump rope builds more than cardio—it builds connection.

    Nick Smith’s Jump Rope Journey: How a TV News Anchor Finds His Flow

    Nick Smith (@nicksmithnews) isn’t just a seasoned, Emmy-winning TV news anchor — he’s a passionate jumper who’s found his fitness, fun, and community through the rope. We met at the Chicago Jump Rope Meetup, and in this episode, we talk about his first-ever meetup, why he loves morning jumps in his garage before going live on national TV, and the health changes he’s experienced since picking up the rope. Nick shares how the jump rope community — with friends like Darren Johnson @_onebadleg_ and Muna @munaskips — encouraged his progress, gave him technique tips, and reminded him to compare only to yourself. We also swap stories about supportive strangers, unexpected aerial vultures, and the joys of gifting ropes to friends (even if they only use them twice). If you’ve ever thought you were “too old” or “too busy” to start jumping rope, Nick’s story will prove you wrong — and maybe even get you lacing up tomorrow morning. --- 🔗 Guest Links Instagram: @nicksmithnewsNick's NewsNation Profile— 🎙️ Host: Instagram: @dizzyskips— 📱 Follow Jump Rope Podcast: Instagram: @jumpropepodcastYouTube: @JumpRopePodcastWebsite: jumpropepodcast.com— ❤️ Rope4Hope is back on Sept 13!
