Danny Nemani reviews the Nike Romaleos 2 and compares them to the Adidas Power Perfect II. Of course shoe reviews depend a lot on foot size and shape.

Review: Jump Rope Conditioning by Ross Enamait
Just got and watched Ross Enamait’s Jump Rope Conditioning DVD. The DVD is not about learning fancy tricks to impress people (although once you can skip rope like Ross you will definitely be attracting eyeballs).
