Never Dim Your Light (Designer Series) (Protohype Size)
Never Dim Your Light (Designer Series) (Protohype Size)
"Never Dim Your Light", for the sake of others. This is the very first mantra-based flow rope debuting from Slushropes. Every single spec of this rope has a deeply rooted significance designed intentionally to remind you to NEVER DIM YOUR LIGHT.
This rope, the "Never Dim Your Light" flow rope, is a neon yellow rope with reflective features that glows in UV light representing the interconnectedness of our actions, their impact on our lives, and the hidden potential within us.
1. **Neon Yellow Color**: The choice of neon yellow symbolizes the vibrancy and energy of life. It reminds us that life is a journey filled with opportunities, choices, and decisions. The bright color suggests that our choices and actions should stand out and be noticed, reflecting our presence and influence in the world.
2. **Reflective Features**: The reflective features on the rope represent our ability to introspect and learn from our experiences. Just as light bounces back from these reflective elements, we too can gain insight and wisdom by looking back on our past actions and their consequences. It underscores the importance of self-awareness and personal growth.
3. **Glowing in UV Light**: The UV light aspect represents the hidden aspects of ourselves that may not always be visible in the everyday world. It signifies our untapped potential, inner strengths, and talents that may only come to light under specific circumstances or when we delve deeper into self-discovery. Just as the rope glows when exposed to UV light, we, too, can shine brightly when we explore our inner selves and bring our unique qualities to the surface.
When we combine these elements, the Never Dim Your Light rope becomes a powerful symbol of self-awareness and personal growth. This mantra-based flow rope encourages us to make choices that not only stand out but also help us learn, grow, and uncover our hidden potential. It reminds us that our journey through life is not just about the visible actions we take but also about the inner transformation and self-discovery that can occur when we reflect on our choices and tap into our true selves. In essence, it represents the profound idea that our actions are not just external manifestations but also a reflection of our inner journey.

From all the ropes I tried so far this is the one 🪢... It´s great for slower movement studies to unlock new patterns as well as for faster regular feel flows. When I travel and I have to make my choice, I´d always pick this protohype sized rope. The great design and all the beautiful details are just the cherry on the cake...🍰.
My best Rope Flow...Right weight, right consistency, right flow… fantastic
As my first rope, I found it easy to handle. The weight is nice and I love the whirl sound as I flow. Plus it screams at me to pick it up every time I look in it’s direction - the yellow is BRIGHT!!!
I use this rope every single night since I got it and it’s so smooth and easy to flow with! I love how it feels in my hands, and I can’t wait to learn more things with it!

FLOW ROPE CARE
Let's remove the guess work when it comes to taking care of your flow ropes.
Gear pre and post care shouldn't have to be complicated which is why I've created this this comprehensive guide on Youtube, unlike any other on the internet! In this video, you will find many helpful tips wherever your flow rope is on the spectrum of its life cycle!
The video goes much more in depth as it covers how to take care, maintain, and repair your flow ropes.
However, if you are new or want a quick scan for tips I've consolidated this 40 minute video down to a few paragraphs tailored for beginners.
Setting Expectations:
- Your flow ropes are considered consumables. The more you use it, the more you consume it.
- Your flow ropes are made with countless of synthetic fibers. This is important to remember.
- Friction contributes to "wear and tear" - exposing the synthetic fibers to abrasion. (Think of the part of the rope that hits the ground over and over again.)
- Wear and tear is part of its life cycle. It is normal.
- Flow ropes are not always made with the same material. This means they will NOT show wear and tear the same way, or the same speed. Where and how often you use it are also contributors.
Easy Tips To Take Care Of Your Flow Rope
Disclaimer: These tips are simply recommendations, tailored for those who want to prolong the life of their gear.
- Keep It Dry - As much as possible, try to avoid getting it wet. When flow ropes get wet, they are exposed to rope shrinkage. When not properly dried, it is exposed to mildew and/or mold build up.
- Surface Matters - Harsher surfaces will lead to more "wear and tear". Smoother surfaces will lead to less "wear and tear". Use a yoga mat, puzzle mat, or smoother surface to avoid harsh abrasion if desired.
- Proper Storage - Storing your flow rope in a rope bag or a Slush Hook is to your benefit.
- Remove Added Knots After Each Use - A great way to practice after care. By doing so, you can avoid a knot permanently getting stuck on your rope and deforming the shape of the rope. Important: this happens OVER TIME. Not overnight.
Common Practices:
- YES, people still flow at the beach or by the water regardless of the recommendation stated above. Your flow rope, ultimately, will be just fine :)
- YES, people still flow on harsh surfaces and their flow ropes are just fine. Flowing on harsh surfaces speeds up the wear and tear. That's all ! If you don't mind seeing "love marks" on your rope, feel free to use it as you please :)
- YES, people actually own multiple ropes for multiple environments! It is common for experienced athletes and flow artists to have an indoor, outdoor, and "beater" rope. By having a dedicated rope, it eliminates a lot decisions that you need to make.
Do's and Do Not's:
- Shorten Your Rope - Do so by adding extra knots. Do Not CUT.
- Cleaning - Do so by using a disinfectant spray or wipe. Do Not use washer.
- Drying - Do so by drying with a fan for 24 hours. Do Not use dryer or sun dry.
- Protection - Do store in rope bag or Slush Hook. Do Not put flow rope near zippers as it may get caught and pull strands of fibers.
- Removing Parts - Do not remove (or undo) handles. Tampering with the product design will void your Lifetime Guarantee.
FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)
"I want to start my jump rope/rope flow journey but I don't know where to start. Can you help me?"
-Yes! Rope recommendations and fittings are ALWAYS free. Simply send an email to info@slushropes.com with the subject: "Rope Recommendation" to receive a full fitting. Include as many details about yourself and your goals that you are comfortable sharing.

"Do you ship to my country?"
-Slushropes ships worldwide.

- 7.5 FT - Flowmies who are in between 4'9 to 5'4 in height.

Because this is final sale, Slushropes wants to ensure that you get all the questions you have answered before purchase! If you would like an in depth rope recommendation, please email info@slushropes.com .
3. Size - Size refers to the diameter of the rope, how thin or thick it is.
The Size Line Up (thinnest to thickest)
A popular question from the community is: "Why don't you just put the diameter size of the rope instead of using proprietary names? (such as Starter Size, Standard Size, etc.)"
Answer: There are two major answers to this question. First is information retention. Being that Slushropes proudly serves customers worldwide, the standard measurement varies from one's geographical location. This means that some people are accustomed to the imperial system (inches and feet), while some are familiar with the metric system (centimeters and millimeters). Though Slushropes incorporates both systems, customer feedback has shown that the ease of retaining information is a lot easier when using the propriety size chart line up (names instead of numbers). Collectively, people around the world have an easier time remembering the size they're using through its name rather than a specific size number "1/2 inch" "12mm" etc.
Secondly, this is also to avoid confusion. This part is a lot more technical and requires some understanding with how ropes are made. Here is an example: The "Cheddar Cheese" rope and the "Lychee" rope are both Starter Size. When compared side by side, the Lychee rope appears to be thicker. However, believe it or not, they are the same diameter size.
The diameter of a rope depends: (a) its construction and (b) the amount of material used. Ropes can be made "compact" while some can be braided loosely. With the example mentioned, the Cheddar Cheese (firmer rope) appears to be thinner than the Lychee rope (softer rope). The Lychee rope will appear thicker because it's less compact when braided.
If you feel that this is a lot of information to remember, we hear you. This is why Slushropes prefer its proprietary named size chart!
Starter Size - Recommended for ALL beginners. (12mm)
Standard Size - Industry Standard Diameter. (14mm)
Protohype Size - Slushrope's #1 and most loved size. (16mm)
Paradigm Size - A unique size that's designed to introduce you into getting into heavy flow ropes without a heavy flow rope. (19mm)
Primal Size - The beginning of heavy ropes. (25 mm)
Primal Plus Size - Heavier ropes. (30 mm)
Primal Push Size - INSANE heavy ropes (38 mm)
