Trick Histories – Episode 1: The Subway

written by Cory

Welcome to Trick Histories, our new Youtube show where you will learn about the history of jump rope tricks! In todays episode we discuss the history of the subway. Luckily we have one of the jump rope athletes who first performed the trick to narrate for us, Chris Holmes!

Please subscribe to our channel if you like what you see, and if you want to help Jump Rope Jam and you know the history of a trick or more, please reach out to us.

Because of the release of our new show todays Podcast will only be a short preview episode. Next Monday we will go back to our regular length episode.

Enjoy!

Update

The Tricktionary, now on all devices

written by Svante

Yes, it’s true!

The Tricktionary is now available for everyone (with a device connected to the Internet), go check it out at the-tricktionary.com

For iOS users

By pressing the share button in safari followed by “add to Homescreen” you can add the tricktionary to your homescreen where it’ll work just as any other app on your phone

For Android users

We still recommend the app for you, it can be found here, but if you’d prefer you can press the ⋮ in the top right corner of chrome, followed by “add to Homescreen” a shortcut will be added to your homescreen, and it’ll work like any other app on your phone (and you won’t notice it’s a webpage)

And this is just the beginning, we do already have new and exciting features hatching.

Oh and if you feel something is missing? You can submit a trick to the tricktionary, just check in the site’s menu.

I’d like to thank Dylan Plummer for letting me dig into this project, and to Cory for lending us a domain until we got our own at the-tricktionary.com, our new home.

written by Eilea

Here on Jumper Spotlight we highlight someone who is, or has been, important to our sport and community. The people we highlight can be athletes, judges, announcers, coaches, or just someone who’s passion for the sport has impacted you, your team, our community, or our sport in an important way.

If you would like to be spotlighted, or have someone else you think should be spotlighted feel free to e-mail us at [email protected]

Today’s Jumper Spotlight is, Sarah Dobrowolski, known also as @SarahDobski on Instagram. Sarah is also our guest on the 15th episode of the Jump Rope Jam Podcast. You can listen to Sarah Dobrowolski’s episode here to find out how she responds to some ‘really good questions’, keep Brandon past his appointment, and tackle a Jump-Rope-Sports-Medicine topic that makes Eilea blush, or on your phone through iTunes.

We are excited to share that @sarahdobski will be the #guest on the next #episode of the #JumpRopeJam #Podcast this coming #Monday

Dr. Sarah Dobrolwski is a pioneer in her application of sports medicine to our sport. While most of us may recognize her voice as an official announcer with the World Jump Rope Federation, not as many of us have heard her story and perspective on the sport.

With an Honours Bachelor Degree of Science, a Masters of Kinesiology, a Medical degree, and a long standing background jumping competitively, Sarah continues to develop new training methods and test theories with the concern of our athletes at heart. Her recent work and research in ‘Maximizing Performance and Minimizing Injury’ has insightfully highlighted the correlation between stress and resilience as they pertain to physical injury, and includes training schedules, assessment forms, and prevention techniques.

Below is a summary of Sarah’s recent work and research:
