Kait Simpson and Robbie Csontos are two legends of the competitive jump rope space!
We get into the weeds with competitive jump rope culture in this episode, and it's awesome! If you're not a competitive jumper, you'll still dig it but just know that we bring up a bunch of references here
We get into a LOT during our conversion, including the skills that Kait and Robbie have created, Kait’s detailed process for creating new competitive routines, why Robbie does the hardest tricks he can in his routines, and how both of their jumping has evolved over the years.
We also get into some other topics like the injuries Robbie has had (and powered through during competitions), the trend of renaming skills that have existed for a long time, whether or not there’s a peak age for a competitive jump rope athlete, and a lot more!
