The Boise, Idaho Jump Rope Team
Posted by hutchowen on July 23, 2006
In the Chicago airport, I had the luck to run into the Boise, Idaho Jump Rope team, fresh from winning 21 of 29 trophies in the nationals and on their way to the world competition in Toronto. Fresh-faced, white, clean and smiley as good clean, white, smiley midwest kids can be. Totally charming. I went a bit goofy on them, was so happy to see a jump rope team and not a bunch of idiots out to proselytize and convert, or destroy something, or acquire something, or sell something, just jumping the best damn rope Americans can!
Smile on!
Check out their winning national competitions being broadcast in September on ESPN!

That is weird. In case you need to know, northern and southern Idaho are like two different states. They do not like each other, and are separated by a mountain range, a time zone, and identity of southern Idaho as resort o-rama and northern Idaho as where the LAPD retires or where you’d go to start a religous cult. Just FYI n stuff.
