Laura Davidson (@skipping_the_midlifecrisis) brings the sunshine (and the double-unders) to Episode 34 of The Jump Rope Podcast 🌞
She’s a recent retiree, a Crossrope athlete, a two-time cancer survivor, and a full-time force of positivity in the jump rope community 💛
We talk about:
- How jumping rope improved her bone density after cancer
- Skipping at 170 BPM while jamming to her favorite playlists
- That time she freestyled in front of 3 photographers at a Crossrope shoot 😅
- Why meetups feel like hugging old friends you’ve never met
- Her dreams of 60 double unders by her 60th birthday 🎯
- And how many ropes she actually has (hint: it’s not 100, no matter what her husband says)
Laura didn’t jump rope during cancer treatment — but skipping came later, and it’s now a joyful part of her healthy, post-recovery lifestyle.

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.
