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.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
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.
