Jump Rope Tricks, Robz 360s & Dizzy Freestyle Vibes (Ep. 27)
🌀 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.”
