In this solo episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, Dizzy Skips (@dizzyskips) nerds out on all the tech, gear, and glorious fails behind his jump rope reels.
If you’ve ever:
Jumped out of frame
Rocketed your headphones with a rope
Or spent 37 minutes syncing 37 seconds of music…
This one’s for you.
🎥 Camera choices? Covered.
🎧 Audio tips? Yup.
📸 Lighting and framing? Let’s rule those thirds.
🧠 AI help for captions? Present!
⚡ Battery anxiety? Obviously.
Dizzy shares the tech and techniques that help make his skipping rope content fun, functional, and only slightly chaotic.
Whether you’re using Instagram, CapCut, or just stuffing your phone into a shoe, you’ll find tips here you can actually use.
Sound bites include:
👉 “I always use the back facing camera.”
👉 “I use my phone instead of a GoPro.”
👉 “I use AI for help writing my captions.”
Bonus: Dizzy shares his strategy for staying chill with meditation (and Brain.fm), how he lost AirPods to the Mississippi, and why he’s still laughing when things go wrong.
🎧 DM @dizzyskips if you try any of these tips, have recommendations, or want to talk tripod hacks.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
