Skipping Rope by JIV Sport

Skipping Rope by JIV Sport – Designed for Figure Skaters

A skipping rope is one of the simplest yet most effective tools for off-ice training. The JIV Sport skipping rope helps figure skaters improve stamina, agility, and jump timing — all essential for strong performances on the ice.

• Lightweight design – easy to carry in your skate bag

• Smooth rotation for consistent skipping

• Perfect for warm-ups before training or competition

• Trusted by coaches for conditioning and coordination

At The Boot and Blade, we know that off-ice work is just as important as what you do on the ice. That’s why we recommend the JIV skipping rope as part of every skater’s training kit.

JIV Sport Skipping Rope – FAQs

1) Is this skipping rope suitable for figure skaters?
Yes. It’s a simple, effective off-ice tool to build stamina, footspeed, and jump timing — perfect before practice or competition.

2) What length should I use and how do I adjust it?
A quick rule: stand on the middle of the rope — the tops of the handles should reach roughly your armpits. Trim/adjust to suit. Aim for smooth rotations without the rope catching your toes.

3) What surfaces can I use it on?
Use on non-abrasive surfaces (gym flooring, wooden floors, exercise mats). Very rough concrete will shorten the rope’s lifespan.

4) How should I use it for pre-ice warm-ups?
Start easy: 3–5 minutes of steady skipping, then 2–3 short intervals (30–60 seconds) with 30–60 seconds rest. Keep shoulders relaxed; turn from the wrists.

5) Who is it for — beginners or advanced skaters?
All levels. From learn-to-skate to competitive, it improves coordination and conditioning off the ice.

6) What’s it made from?
A lightweight, durable rope designed for smooth rotation and consistent rhythm; comfortable, easy-grip handles for control.

7) How do I care for the rope?
Wipe dry after use, avoid leaving it under tension or in direct sun/heat, and store coiled in your skate or gym bag.

8) Can I return it if it isn’t right for me?
Absolutely — see our Returns & Exchanges for details.

9) Do you ship across the UK?
Yes — next day delivery!
