Where Did You Get That Huge Rope???

I’ve received a few emails about the massive 3 inch rope.  If you have interest in it (and you should because it’s sweet!), I bought it from someone on the Ross Training Forums.  He purchased something like 1000 feet of it used and asked if anyone wanted a piece.  He was very good to deal with and shipped mine out first and fast!  That means there is still some left.  He sold it to me for something like $1 a foot.  Just for some perspective, my 2 in manilla rope (new) cost nearly $3 a foot.  I haven’t even seen 3 inch rope before this! 

So, for everyone’s benefit, go to this link THICK ROPE POST ON ROSS TRAINING.  Send a PM (private message) to Donald, “Tucson,” and tell him that you heard about the rope from me.  He prefers that people ask for smaller pieces (somewhere between a few feet and 20-30 feet) for two reasons:  he wants to spread it around, and it is easier to ship! 

*UPDATED*  I ONLY ASK ONE SMALL FAVOR!  If you are lucky enough to get a piece, since Donald has said many of you have been able to get a hold of him before the Ross Training Forum went down, I ask only one small favor.  Take a picture of you training with it and send it over to CoachHashey@synergy-athletics.com for a blog post!  Thanks!

Again, it is used 3 inch rope.  I did some rope battling with it today and it was a bear!
