The Beginning

There was a time when flow ropes only came in one size (more or less)...and very little color variation. Slush was outgrowing her flow rope and she wanted more. She wanted something thicker, but not quite like a heavy rope. She eventually was able to put together the perfect rope for herself. She used it everyday and little by little, the internet noticed. Shortly after that, the demand for that rope started coming in through her DMs. Shortly after, at Etsy page was created. Through this, the starting of slushropes.com was born.

It was never intended

"@Slushropes" was an Instagram page started by Beyah del Mundo, aka Slush, as her way to keep log of her jump rope journey. As an entrepreneur and co-founder of MILK+T (a queer boba bar based in Los Angeles), jumping rope became her favorite way to get active that fits in her busy schedule. Later on in her journey, she experienced multiple foot injuries that prevented her from jumping rope.

In was through this that she found rope flow. It was the perfect storm. It was still rope related, but this time without the need to jump the rope. It only made sense.

When Slush started her rope flow practice, it was during a time when resources (such as education or peer to peer tutorials) weren't accessible as to how it is today. In fact, it wasn't really understood by many - including jumpers. Most people, including Slush, only had the basic core patterns to learn from but nothing more.

Because of her jump rope background, it only made sense for Slush to incorporate her jump rope influence in her rope flow style. In fact, most of the tricking style you see today in the rope flow community is heavily influenced by her. Things used to be so black and white. It was either pure jump ropes, or purely rope flow. The crossover was never a thing. Until Slush introduced and popularized the hybrid touch. Today, the rope flow practice has expanded into so many different styles which is worth celebrating!
