WINONA LAKE – David Fisher, jump roping Guinness World Record holder, will perform at this year’s Northern Indiana Lakes Festival Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, hosted by the Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams.
Fisher, also known as the “Rope Warrior,” holds the world record for the most revolutions turned with a jump rope while pushing off and landing only on the backside in one minute – or “rump-jumps” – for completing 56 of these jumps in one minute.
Fisher was a Double A volleyball player at Emory University in Atlanta, and trained using a jump rope. Since then, Fisher turned jumping rope into his full-time profession as he promotes wellness and creative physical fitness. He serves as president of The Rope Warrior, Inc.™ and originator of Ropenastics™ which combines jumping rope with gymnastics techniques.
Rope Warrior shows are scheduled for May 28 at 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. at Center Lake Park in downtown Warsaw.
Festival admission is free and other activities include Friday and Saturday evening concerts, food, live animal shows, display tanks, kids’ activities, exhibitors, a Memorial Day ceremony and more.
This year’s top sponsors include Kosciusko County Convention Recreation and Visitors Commission, Maple Leaf Farms, Louis Dreyfus Commodities, Silveus Insurance Group, and Zimmer Biomet.
