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.
