🌀 Dizzy? Good. That means you’re doing it right.

In this whirlwind episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, Robz (@robz_360s) joins Dizzy to talk all things jump rope tricks, 360 flow, freestyle footwork, and DIY determination.

From spinning on the streets of Germany to building his own ropes in Portugal, Robz has become one of the most creative freestylers in the jump rope world.

We talk about:

• Learning to love dizziness 😵‍💫
• How to start spinning without losing your lunch
• Turning your own unique style into an art form
• Jump rope mechanics and managing the weight of movement
• Building a beaded rope from hardware store parts
• How The High Jump is connecting jumpers globally

🎯 And most importantly, why every jumper is a superhero just for showing up. Because whether you’ve been jumping 10 days or 10 years — you’re part of this community, and we see you.

Robz and Dizzy also reflect on their own jump rope journeys, the physical and mental benefits of showing up consistently, and why jumping rope creates a “mental bubble” of focus, freedom, and fun.

💥 “Fail a hundred times before breakfast — and keep going.”

G’day, Jump Rope Community! In Episode 25, host Dizzy (@dizzyskips) sits down with the OG Aussie skipper himself, Papa Joe (@papa_joe01) 🤩

They explore everything from Joe’s early struggles in a boxing gym (where he was the only one NOT skipping!) to mastering heavy ropes, boxers skips, and—yes—double-unders from Down Under.

Along the way, you’ll hear how jump rope became Joe’s daily mental release, stress-buster, and secret weapon for staying fit.

The conversation bounces around the supportive jump rope community, upcoming challenges, and how platforms like podcasts, Instagram, and meetups help keep everyone motivated.

Expect plenty of Aussie slang (“ripper!”), a dash of coffee talk ☕, and tips to transform your rope routine into a powerful mental-health practice.

They also cover Joe’s go-to strategies:

• Consistency (just keep skipping!)
• Embracing the basics (master that boxer skip!)
• The Power of warming up and cooling down (so you don’t hobble away in pain!)

Hear Papa Joe shout out legends like @doc.jumps, @kathyjumps, @aaronjumps.365, @richardheadjumps, and the @jumpropedudes. Plus, learn why short daily efforts can lead to massive wins—at home, in the office, or even in a warehouse at 6:30 AM!

Ready for a playful, motivational pep talk? Hit that play button, crank up the volume, and get skipping.

This episode will leave you pumped, smiling, and itching to take on the next rope challenge—Aussie style! 🦘
