Our Story

I am a jump rope enthusiast from the UK and I am so happy to bring my brand and ropes to the US! I have had lots of US based people asking for this and I have finally been able to deliver on that promise.  See more below about my jump rope story and how the brand has developed so far.....

Finding a good quality jump rope can be hard and we found it to be a lot harder than we thought.  We want to change that and make the dopest high quality jump ropes readily accessible to aspiring and avid jump ropers across the globe! 

Our passion for jumping rope comes from the multitude of physical and mental health benefits it provides and most importantly the FUN you can have whilst staying active.  Not only this, jump ropes are super affordable and portable, allowing you to exercise anytime, anywhere. As a result, jump rope has quickly become a staple in our family's exercise routines! 

We hope that we can provide access and awareness to some of the best jump ropes on the market so you too can unlock the full potential of a jump rope workout!

Thanks, 
Keon, founder @dope_ropes

I first picked up a rope... 

when my brother introduced me to it. I'm not a natural 'fitness' enthusiast and I have struggled to find a form of exercise that worked for me, but skipping gave me enough variety and fun to keep at it!

I’ve always enjoyed board games and computer games and work a lot with data/numbers (I have a finance, marketing and data analytics background). Skipping is a sport that is really in tune with those kinds of interests and abilities (for me personally!) as you create combos and analyse your form to improve and learn new skills.

When I reached 30, I wanted to do something fun that also helped me to stay active and healthy. That is why I picked up a rope and still keep on jumping to this day!

How it became a small business...

Jump Rope changed my life and my attitude to physical and mental wellbeing and made me realise the importance of joyful movement. I decided I wanted to create a platform to share this with others and spread the word about the benefits of jumping rope by providing good information and quality products that seemed to be lacking in the UK. 

I also have a keen interest in business and starting something that combined both passions of mine seemed to make perfect sense!

Setting up this platform has allowed me to promote the benefits of jump rope globally and help others like myself become more active and engage in movement. 

The Brand...

Jump Rope has a retro feel, and it's something you do as a kid. For me personally it has enabled me to re-capture my childhood spirit - keeping things simple, whilst having fun!

The 80s/90s were my childhood and it was important to me that was captured in the brand, with nods to games, TV and other pop culture references from that era.

Our color pallet is inspired by the vaporwave aesthetic combining neon pink with shades of blue, purple and black. I want to capture the vibe of Miami by day and LA at night through the look and feel of the products and branding.

The Goal...

To initiate movement for all via simple, flexible and affordable tools, improving mental and physical wellbeing.

To provide a constant way to remain active in an age of uncertainty.

To infuse a fun, retro aesthetic into the fitness and lifestyle sector and help recapture a playful approach to fitness.

Who is involved...

Dope Ropes runs on the support of family. I was inspired and guided by my brother in the beginning whilst my fiancé helps me to craft the creative vision. For a while, my mum was packing and shipping orders from our house and still helps to this day. My dog, Piglet, is always there to cheer me up whenever I am having a tough day!

Now we want you to...

Board the Jumpwave, have fun and become a Master in Stationary Movement.

The Journey so far and our amazing community.........

This wouldn't be possible without the support of my brother....
