JumpNRope, Ltd.

JumpNRope was founded in 2006 by 5-Time World Jump Rope Champion Molly Metz, who alone has over 28 years of experience teaching the sport of jump rope around the world! In 2005, she began teaching After School Jump Rope Programs at recreation centers in the Boulder, CO area. Her vision was to inspire and teach kids about jump rope, to share her years of experience with the kids, and, most importantly, bring the fun back into this fitness activity. Within 1-year of teaching Molly discovered an overwhelming demand for more jump rope programs at schools, recreation centers, and adult fitness facilities-- JumpNRope was born!

JumpNRope employs jump rope instructors who range from young competitive jumpers to World-Record Holding Jump Rope Champions. Some instructors also serve as coaches for the Mad Hops Competitive Jump Rope team-- the fastest team in the USA!

JumpNRope also holds a patent for the World's Fastest Jump Rope Handles-- the R3 Evolution Series Jump Ropes! This progression of jump ropes has proven itself to be the best jump rope training device for the entire spectrum of jump rope athletes! JumpNRope specializes in training CrossFit athletes & elite athletes to not only perform at a superior level in competition, but to also condition like a champion!

JumpNRope is also a world leader in freestyle jumping skills! Molly & the JumpNRope instructors are some of the best in the business. We've even developed a specialized (and durable) freestyle jump rope with a unique size and feel-- these jump ropes are now being used by Jump Rope Champions around the world!

Molly Metz - JumpNRope Founder & Owner

Molly Metz has been competing and teaching in the jump rope world for the past 28 years. While other kids were busy playing on the playground, Molly, beginning at the tender age of 7, was busy travelling the world as a competitive jumper, helping her coach and team teach jump rope clinics in Europe, Australia, Central America, ...you name it! In that time, Molly has collected World and National Records in the sport, and has 5 times won the title of World Jump Rope Champion!

But Molly has a problem... she can’t stop jumping! Now 36, Molly is still jumping competitively at the World and National level. She is the reigning National Champion in her age division, and continues to teach in the sport as the Head Coach of the fastest jump rope team in the country, the Mad Hops Competitive Jump Rope Team. Outside of competitive jump rope, Molly is busy running the company she founded in 2006, JumpNRope (above), and has volunteered for the past 5 years on the Board of the International Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF). One day the Sun will burn off all of its fuel, but Molly will still be jumping rope!

Patented Jump Rope Technology

The R3 Evolution Series Jump Rope Technology was invented in 2007, by 5-Time World Jump Rope Champion and JumpNRope founder, Molly Metz. After a car accident in 2004, Molly suffered from some misalignment in her hips and shoulders, resulting in her ‘Single Rope Speed’ scores to be “off”. The frustration led to mental blocks and discouragement. She soon started to observe and note the techniques of other jumpers- common issues like tense shoulders, misaligned hips, non-firing hip flexors, and several other irregularities. After dozens of prototypes, jumper feedback, and “in-gym testing”, the R3 Evolution Series Jump Rope Technology was born! The car accident, it seems, was an epiphany for Molly: An “unfortunate opportunity” that led to the invention of an entirely new jump rope technology, born from Molly’s observations.

Molly’s invention was awarded patent status in September 2010, and can be identified by several key advantages over other ropes in the marketplace.
(1) The rope attaches to its handles by means of a rotating ball element, which allows the jump rope to automatically contour to a jumper’s form. Ropes that come straight out of the handle, or attach to the handle at a right angle are constrained to maintain the shape determined by the fixed angle of the wire.
(2) The ball-element attaches to a rotating shaft contained inside the handles. The shaft is able to move nearly frictionlessly by two ball-bearing systems. Other ropes in the market rely on plastic-to-plastic contact, or metal-to-metal contact, both of which consume a great deal of frictional energy to turn.

Since its creation, Molly’s patented technology has been illegally (and immorally) reproduced! These ropes are in our opinion an infringement upon Molly’s patent rights as an inventor. Our patentend jump ropes are manufactured legally here in the United States. We appreciate your support!
