hey i love skip it

ME, TOO!

After months of begging, my mother gave in and bought me one. It broke almost immediately. I loved playing with other girls' skip its on the playground though.

I had a bright pink Skip-It with a counter on the side of the ball, also had dollar store knock offs, little plastic ball attached to a rubber or plastic cord with a plastic ring, basically same idea just the skip-it people were first to be smart and market them! lol

I can't tell you how many times I bruised my shins with one of these.

I remember getting so angry when i counted how many times i jumped but the counter didn't count them all... Ohhh the days when a broken counter was the worst thing in the world!

I loved these, but never got one of my own. The neighbours' was fun though!

who remembers the song to the commercial?

I think I had a Skip-It or it might have been my sister's. I liked the Pogo Ball better.

Skip-it, Skip-It.. The very best thing of all, theres a count-ter on this ball. Something beat your very best score, something something and a whole lot more! Loved it. I had a yellow one. Sara, how on earth did you bruise your shins with a skip it???

does anyone out there have an old-skool skip it? I totally want to buy one for my friend.

i love skip it YEAH

Rainy days were best spent in the basement skip iting till I dropped. Mine was trusty and never broke...still have it.

I remember being bombarded with the goofy-ass commercial 199 times a day while watching my cartoons

I still know the whole song. Hey now kids come gather round. Look what just skipped into town. It would have been the perfect luring device for child predators.

When I was a kid my sister and I had Lemon Twists (before the counters). I loved mine. Why don't they still make these?

I had a pink one and bought it when I was in the 4th grade in 1992. Took it everywhere with me!

I have a question to pose the skip-it fan club...they were for dudes too, right? because I had one and recieve a lot of flack for it

i love skip its i had one it was pink i love it a nearly took it every where i went until the neighbours stole it...

It's cool that they still have skip its out though, even though, of course, I wouldn't buy one today.

where can i buy an old version of the skip it?

I had a skip it and loved it!! i want a new one so badly! does anyone know if they still sell them?

so, seriously, does anyone know where to get one? they have new ones now with stickers and clickers but I just want one like I used to have--hot pink with a counter! so...anyone...??

I grew up in the 70's, and Skip-it started out as just a lemon shape with no counter at all haha..But I definitly remember those and hula hoops.

I had a red one with a counter. It might still be hanging around my parents house somewhere. Skip-its and jump ropes definately took up 4th and 5th grade recess.

I hate Skip-It and everything it stands for.

I wish I had the mad skills to skip it. I was so jealous of the girls who had them...especially the pink ones. I finally bought one at a garage sale when I was in college and I secretly practice every chance I get.

I had a pink one. I bought my little cousin a yellow one (an original one like mine) from a thrift store. She just didn't get it. I wonder if she still has the thing. I'll just have to take it back from her.

Skip its are awesome. My friend and I were just talking about it today. And I need one now! I used to play all the time a recess and i was tied for like best in the grade and the other girl always used to cheat and make us to redos because there was a crack... we are best friends now, but back then it was very serious.

I work at an after school program and we were sharing our childhood skip-it stories. I had to have my mom get mine out so I can share it with the kids in program!! Actually I think the staff will get first dibs...by the way, mine is yellow!!

these suk i cant fit them over my foot

Skip It Skip It, Do Run Run Run Do Hop Hop! I loved mine. I think I had several and they always broke :( A fave playground recess toy

does anyone know if you can still find them anywhere? i loved my pink skip-it!

I LOVED that thing!! OMGosh!! I could skip-it for hours. It didnt work in the gravel though. I broke my first one in it. OMGosh and the bruises it would leave if it hit your leg!!

;.; Best toy EVER. I grew up in the 90s, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these babies and I played with it until the cows came home, man!! I remember I'd play for HOURS. D: I dunno about you, but I think they should reintroduce this toy!! Looking back on it, it was a GREAT workout!! @__@ Augh, I still remember the jingle that went with it!! XD "Skip-it! Skip-it good!!"

WERE DO YOU GET THEM

I had a skip- it growing up. i had up until high school. Don't know where it went tho... but you can still buy i see them at Wal-mart all the time....i might get another....

toys-r-us has them!

At toys r us they have the skip it: ribbon streamer and the skip it: charms and stickers. I had to go buy one (I'm on this "childhood toys" kick) BUT THEY GOT RID OF "THE VERY BEST THING OF ALL!!!" -there's not a counter on this ball. . .so I can't try to beat my very best score and I can't see if I can jump a whole lot more!!!

i would jump until the numbers would roll over to 0s again lol

i had a little blue one, i love it!!! and i want one now so can skipp for hours they should so bring them back.....why havent they???!!!!!!!! gap in the market people....do it!!!!! lol

Skip it skip it...but the very best thing of all..theres a counter on the ball..try to beat your very best score..see if you can jump a whole lot more....

I remember wanting one of these so bad, but my mom was like "Please, we had something like that when I was young, I'll make one for you." So she cut the leg off a pair of nylons, stuck a tennis ball in the toe and tied the other end loosely around my ankle. I was like "Uh, yeah, not quite what I had in mind", but I still used it.

I had one and I got rid of it not to long ago. I never used it anymore. and well...It was fun when I had the energy to play with it

Another great toy of the 80's! I totally miss these kind of toys from my childhood because they were so much fun!!

AMY AND KELLY THIS REFERS TO YOUR COMMENTS-skip it rules-there aint nothing that compares to it,i had a breakdown when my skip it broke.but make a comment like that again and report you to the government,ok and fair play to your mom amy for making 1 out of tights.

Thinking back to this masochistic device, all I remember is a chafed ankle where I slipped on that plastic ring, and I think I'm STILL suffering from joint damage on the opposite ankle where I didn't "skip it" well enough end ended up "smashing it".

I had a Skip It and I was the best in my complex! I never messed up! Nobody could beat me! lol

I had the blue one! :D I remember skipping away outside with or without friends during the summer at my summer house. I also remember how dirty the bottom of the ball part would get from scraping on the ground. What fun!

My feet were too big for the Skip It to fit around my ankles :(

Me and my sister both had one. Sooo much fun! I'm pretty sure that you can get them at Toys r us they just look a little different but still have a counter on them.

Oh my gosh! I have always wanted one of these! All I wanna do is buy it and skip it...skip it!

I loved these things!!! I had the blue one and used it forever!!!

The skip it sucks!!!

Hey now kids come gather round, see what just skipped into town, but the very best thing of all...there's a count-ter on this ball. try to beat your very best score, see if you can jump a whole lot more skip-it, skip-it... and i feel you on that skipping until the counter reset...I was the queen! Had the purple and pink with a counter. nothing more, nothing less.

I would stomp on the counter ball so many times by accident. I still remember the commercial

I love the skip it I had one when I was a kid and I want one now but I can't find one anywhere with a counter....I can have one now that I'm grown and my big brother isn't around to break it.....I used to play with it for hours when he and his friends were playing basketball and he used to get mad and break them I think I went through 6 in one summer!!

you can find it at babies are us has charms to decorate it $9.99 been looking all over for it

I loved skip it! i never had my own though..i always borrowed my neighbors..one day i snuck over there and took it out of her garage to use it..i ended up breaking it..i hid it in the garage and went home and cried...

I had a RED BELL at the end of mine. It was the BEST! I grew up in the 60's and 70's. So if someone out there knows where I can get the original, PLEASE let me know. Thanks. nancylowther@yahoo.com

i loved mine caught my ankle a few times as u all know that really hurts thinking about it i cant remember if i had the blue one or the pink one im sure it was the blue one i had

anyone in getting a hold of hasbro(tiger) toys to make the orginal SKIP IT. jenniferlynn.russell@yahoo.com or johnelle_jonie@yahoo.com

Hello All. I have a skip-it. And it is the most intresting toy. And I don't understand how so many people can screw it up by using it. It's the best...! And I use it every day. Wonderful Exersising! So Yeah. I have 3 of my own.

they still make thesel. a little girl in my neighbor hood was playing with onr the other day.

so where can you still buy them??? :)

i loved my skip it! It was the pink one with the counter.... *memories!* I can't believe they are so hard to find now. :-( I want one and I want to get one for my neices!

this is a great form of exercise for kids and very inexpensive. Why is it the big chain stores don't carry and it can only be ordered from online? We loved these as kids and always gave them to friends at birthday parties.

Wow, this brings back memories for me! I remember the counter would never work right because usually I was 'skipping-it' fast enough for the ball swirl around, above the ground. However, I also remember testing it slowly on the carpet, and the counter would work somewhat.

I fractured my wrist playing with the skip-it. It tangled around my ankles and I fell down... It was fun, though.

I've been trying to find a skip-it to purchase. I used to LOVE this toy!!! There are only 2 on ebay in crappy condition though.

I def. remember the Skip It...it was one of the BEST toys around in the 80's. I wonder if my parents still have it in their garage..they kept my inch worm and my tricycle, let's hope they have the skip-it too!

i have a skip it but its a knock off it was 5 dollars at wallmart i got it last month and i do use it what can i say im a kid that loves them my sis has 1 thats real my bff got it for her for her b-day a few years ago she has 1 2 but i can't find a real 1 any more tho theirs were the 1's w/ counters like the 1 shown above

I still have my skip it and I lovvved it as a kid! I'm definitely going to have to get it out for this summer! My mom keeps trying to give it away, but I won't let her! It's a classic!

Low and behold all the best toys are coming back to be enjoyed by the next generation. I just bought my daughter a skip it she had no idea what it even did so @ 29yrs of age I had to skip it and I skipped it good ;p I hope by the end of summer she will be a skipit champion

I can't believe that i forgot about these toys, they were fantastic fun, i used to use my next door neighbours and a group of us would have timed competitions to see how fast it took us to reach 100 skips. Best 90s toy EVA

my daughter has just txt asking about skip it she had a pink one where can i get one for her now

When I was little, I had a yellow one that counted the skips you made. It kind of just disappeared, I think, though. I forgot how much I loved skip its until my older sister found a knock-off one in her trunk. I was so excited that I played with it outside in the dark immediately and yesterday me and my friend played with it, too. I totally think that they should start manufacturing the old-school ones again.

awesome toy

Somewhere I saw this was an '80s toy. I disagree I had one in the late '60s or early 70s and it just had a little plactic bell shaped thing on the end and I loved the sound it made when it hit the ground.

i used to play this it all the time for hours it was so fun

my 10 year old came to me today and asked me if i can get her one so i am looking for one right now she is useing a dog lish as a skip-it i never had one but i will be getting one for her !!

sucks that when i was young someone approached me and asked me how i built mine which was actually made with a ball, rope and plastic ring from the butter bowl then stole the idea to make the skip it, i was only 9... inventer!!! whoever you are... i still remember...

I skipped to 1007 today using the skip it toy it is awesome!

Does anyone know where i can buy an original skip it?

I'm looking for one also. The one with the counter

Oh great, now I can't get the commercial out of my head.

If anyone is selling one with a counter, I want to buy 2 of them please email me lorifisher1993@yahoo.com

A skip-it wasn't as skilled as skipping with the hoola hoop spinning around your ankle. But the Skip-IT wasn't invented yet.So that's what we did in the 60s and 70s. I think that was where the idea originated. But we also tied a jump rope around our ankle loosely and skipped with it like the Skip-IT. The jump rope had a wooden handle you skipped over. Ideas you might try as an alternative.

I have an original skip it in the package never used, looking for a place to sell it?

my mom had original yellow skip it when she was little it was probably the 70s skip it because she was born in 1970 oh and my aunt played with it too

oh these were fun.

I want to purchase one of these. my email is akhager16@gmail.com
