New Product Launches: The Tools You Asked For

We’re proud to introduce three exciting additions to our lineup—all created based on direct customer and athlete feedback:

💥 BEAST Rope (3lb Weighted Rope)

If you’re looking to level up your endurance, strength, and calorie burn, the BEAST Rope is here for it. This 3lb monster burns up to 20% more calories than other heavy ropes with 40% fewer jumps. We did a soft launch earlier this month and it sold out fast—we’re working hard to restock, so sign up here to be notified when it’s available.

⚡ Surge 4.0 Speed Rope

An evolution of one of our bestsellers, the Surge 4.0 is smoother, faster, and tougher. With silicone grips for better control, a reinforced inner post, and upgraded spin mechanics, it’s already a favorite among speed athletes at this year’s championships.

If you compete—or you want to train like you do—check out the Surge 4.0.

✋ Elite Jumps Grip Tape

This small upgrade can make a big difference. Our branded grip tape helps you hold onto your plastic handles longer, even when your hands get sweaty. Bonus? It’s also a great add-on for sports like tennis, pickleball, and paddle.

Ron Osinski’s Rope Comparison: Real User, Real Insights

This month, long-time customer Ron Osinski conducted his own personal experiment: comparing four different Elite Jumps ropes during the same workout session. Here’s what he found:

"Of the four ropes, my personal favorites are the 2” Heavy Beaded Rope and the BEAST 3lb Rope. I like to alternate between them during workouts, using the beaded rope for trick work and the BEAST for power endurance. On lighter days, I’ll go with the Muay Thai 3.0, but I don’t use the 6MM PVC as often because I prefer a heavier feel. That said, all four ropes are excellent. It just depends on your training goals."

"If you’re new to jumping, I’d start with the 6MM PVC or 2” Heavy Beaded. As you build strength and confidence, the Muay Thai 3.0 and BEAST are excellent ways to progress."

We Hit the Road for U.S. Nationals (RV Style!)

In July, I loaded up the RV with my son and hit the road from Wenatchee, Washington to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for the AMJRF National Championships at Augustana University.

It was an epic trip, filled with great conversations, shared meals, and, of course, a lot of jumping. At our booth, we connected directly with athletes and coaches, gathered live product feedback, and saw firsthand how our gear performs in competition settings. This kind of face-to-face feedback is what guides our product design and innovation.

World Jump Rope Championships in Japan

As we write this, our team is on the ground in Kawasaki, Japan at the World Jump Rope Championships. It’s always a privilege to be where the world’s best gather.

We’ve been giving athletes the chance to build their own custom ropes with a wide selection of beads, cords, and handles from our lineup. It’s been energizing to see their creativity and performance insights firsthand.

Even more meaningful has been meeting several of our existing partners and resellers from India, Japan and Malaysia in person—some for the very first time. While we’ve collaborated remotely for a while, there’s something special about shaking hands, swapping ideas face-to-face, and deepening those relationships in real life. In an increasingly digital world, moments like these truly matter.
