Here are some of our favorite highlights from 2021!
New Jump Rope Double Under World Record
We all know how tricky it can be to master double unders. However, for Ryan Ong Alonzo (also known as Skipman), they seem to come pretty easy. Back in October, Ryan completed a total of 40,980 double unders over the course of 12 hours. More than double the previous world record! Even better, he did it using our patented Bullet COMP speed rope.
Jump Rope: The Preferred Pandemic Workout
With limited access to gyms and exercise classes, people have turned to jumping rope as their preferred method for staying in shape. With more than 1 million posts on Instagram and over 900 million views on TikTok, it’s pretty clear jumping rope is more than just trending. People like Jimmysaysrelax have 2.4 million of those views.

The jump rope craze has not only taken social media by storm, but news outlets across the world have also taken notice. Outlets like CNN and BBC have shared stories on the explosion of jump rope and the associated health benefits.
