Combining his mastery of rope skipping (which has affectionately brought him the nickname of Rope Master), the athletic prowess of unicycling, the art of poi spinning, glow-in-the-dark ropes, audience participation and motivational speaking, fused is the must-see show for schools.
Peter has performed all over the world since he began jumping rope in 1986. His program has been seen in such countries as Australia, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Cambodia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, Sweden, Tanzania, Thailand and Vietnam. He has performed in almost every state in the US and has been seen on television programs such as Fox News and ESPN, as well as worked with Men's Health Magazine and the Wall Street Journal. Due to his expertise in rope skipping he also was contracted to double for Adam Sandler in Jack & Jill for a Double Dutch scene in the movie.

Parking Lots are for Pedestrians
April 17th
After a rather unfortunate "car meets unicycle in garage" incident last year I had been in need of a new "around town" unicycle. I finally bit the bullet and ordered a 36" touring style one to round out my collection. With the weather being awesome, I've been out pretty much everyday that I've been home to break it in...and of course do some grocery shopping, library/bank/whatever runs. I have noticed that my monster unicycle seems to be a tractor beam for stupidity, as evidenced in a situation that occured about 2 weeks ago.
Time to Check In
March 26th
Almost every day for the past 6 weeks I've received an email with the subject "It's Time to Check In". In fact, I've performed 43 shows in 31 cities and 18 states during that time. Plus, I had a first for me while performing when I had a volunteer throw up on stage during the show. Needless to say, I've been busy. So...what have you been up to?
No Guts No Glory
February 23rd
One of the busiest times of the year for me is between the end of February and the end of March. During this period I will be on an airplane almost everyday flying around the country to perform most nights of the week. It will be quite the adventure. Today is one of my last "days off" for a while and I'm fortunate to be spending it visiting a good friend of mine in West Virginia, Mod. About a year and a half ago, at the age of 59, he rode a bicycle from Oregon to West Virginia and I've been having some fun talking to him about his adventure, especially about one guy that he came across during the trip.
A Tanzanian Thanksgiving (or ketchup, mustard and unicorns)
December 16th
I just got home from a two and a half week trip to Tanzania (East Africa if you are geographically challenged). I went over to help Mike Fry with One World, One Rope teach rope skipping at some various schools and street centers for runaway kids. I landed in Dar es Salaam the day before Thanksgiving and then spent Thanksgiving day on an 11 hour bus ride from Dar to Moshi (at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro). If you have never experienced bus rides in 3rd world countries, you are missing out on quite an adventure. I got the back row of the bus comfortably squashed between 7 other people, none of whom used deodorant...and there's no A/C in 90+ degree weather and 100 percent humidity. You get the picture.
An African Thanksgiving
November 22nd
It has been a busy couple of months, thus I must apologize for the dearth of posts. I am just about to board a flight to Tanzania where I will be performing and teaching for about 2.5 weeks. Last year, I had the opportunity to perform in Kenya and work with the first ever East Africa jump rope tournament. We are doing the second tournament next month (which I will miss due to a show in Montana the same day). I will be spending the time prior to the tournament teaching the teams located in Dar Es Salaam and Moshi. I will give an update when I get back. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Just Like Einstein
October 1st
If you've been keeping up with my travels at all, you know that I've been spending an exorbitant amount of time on airplanes this year. A few months ago I sat next to this really interesting lady on one of my flights and I have to say, it was most enlightening. She works as a franchise manager (or some title like that) for Einstein Bros. Bagels. Being a small business owner myself, I love discussing different styles of business ownership and we had a very pleasant discussion where she explained to me the ins and outs of Einstein. I learned about floor plans, sizes, locations, how much the bagels really cost to make (not going to share, but it was one of those things I'd always wanted to know), etc. I'm a huge fan of bagels and Einstein's has always been one of my favorite places to hit when I'm on the road. I can't eat them the way I used to when I was 17, but I sure do enjoy them, especially their specialty bagels and bagel sandwiches. I think that I'm getting hungry...
The Fear of Escalators
September 16th
This morning I was at the airport on my way to security screening. When I got to the escalator there was a line, but no one was on it. I stood there a little perplexed before I heard a little girls voice say, "I'm scared". I then see her mother pick her up and step onto the escalator, before setting her down for what must be one of her first escalator rides. I chuckled to myself and didn't think much of it until a couple things happened which made me think she just may be braver than me. A little girl in a princess outfit.
Temples, Ruins and Pulling Teeth
August 23rd
What a summer! It's hard to believe the number of things I did over the past 3 months, but I took a lot of pictures...and they really did happen. The latest trip was a month long tour through Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. I could fill a book with the number of things that we did (and happened to us) during this trip. The food was amazing, the locations were breathtaking and the people...well, let's just say they were an adventure unto themselves. This was a trip that will go down as one of the most adventurous that I've been on.
We have performed over
1693 programs
I want to personally welcome you to my website.
Over the past 25 years I've had many great opportunities to travel the globe performing as a master rope jumper and unicyclist.
Now I want to bring what I've learned to you. Whether you're interested in booking a live performance or picking up one of my world-class instructional dvd's. I would love to spend some time with you teaching and showing what rope skipping is all about.All the work and all the years that I've been practicing, it's all been for you. One rope, one wheel, one word...füsed.
