He jumps so fast it doesn't even look like he has a rope in his hands most of the time!

He probobly doesnt have a rope in his hands, he just videotaped him jumping around and waving his arms like crazy, then added the sound afterwards

I can't see the video from work, but pretty much everything Ross does is amazing. Can you imagine getting off tempo for just 1 second and have the rope whip your shins?

Ross is amazing. I'm in awe every time I see one of his videos.

I've been jumping rope for a few years now and his tape inside the handle/rope joint will save me a fortune!

Clever common sense, lateral thinking that is always effective and to the point...you always pick up something from his articles even when you start reading them thinking it's something you're pretty clued up on.

Could you imagine Ross and Dave Schmitz doing a seminar together? Talk about intense.

I don't even want to think about it. I am still working on walking and chewing gum at the same time.

He always puts up the most crazy impressive videos. If he doesn't qualify as an elite athlete, no one does.
