okay so i have a skip it from 1988, ticker still works.
anyone know a good way to log that? (other than a calorie counter watch)
i am thinking, maybe running in place?

    I would say it is pretty close to jump rope.

    Agreed. Also, it is freaking awesome that you have a Skip It.

    thanks. i was thinking maybe jump rope too but i was not sure, i typed in skip it and it came up with skipping.
    dude it is awesome though, it's from 88 and it's a champ.
    everyone should get one. i chill in the living room and watch tv while doing the skip it, and my dog stares at me funny lol

    I would love a skip it and would also like some clomper stompers and that big inflatable thing that you bounce on...

    I'm pretty sure I sucked at Skip It. I can't remember. I know I had one. I think we even had a few in gym class in elementary school.

    I might've been good at it. I can't remember. That was how many years ago! I think the thing I was thinking of was the platform thingy that had the ball on each side. I can't think of the name. My brother had one and I couldn't get the hang of it. Yeah we had the scooters too. That was always a fun day in gym. They would also bring in quad skates and we would get to roller skate.
