UK Skipper

I’m a 16 year old male, and despite the fact that through the teenage years people become less and less likely to skip, I still skip everywhere, whenever I can, because I find it fun and it makes me happy. I get loads of weird looks from everyone including my friends, but it doesn’t stop me.
I find it sad that skipping has become such a social taboo, and the fact you’re trying to encourage people to be different is a really good thing, and it teaches boring adults to be childlike again.
I’d just like to say how much I love this website and everything it’s doing

Michael McIntyre, a wildly popular comedian in the UK, does a wonderful bit about skipping during his stand-up comedy act.
He says, “although socially unacceptable for anyone above the age of six, it’s actually a remarkable way to move. Skipping is magnficient!”
Of course, iskip.com is all about rewriting those cultural rules that say skipping isn’t acceptable. After all, who says it isn’t acceptable? And whoever they are, why on earth would we listen to them when our world is in such desperate need of positive energy and joy? Skip on!
