January Skipping Challenge
Riley has skipped into 2024 by completing an incredible 4,335 skips over the course of the month of January. Mag set Riley a target of reaching 1,000 skips for the month but Riley was determined to smash this goal. Spending ten minutes every day skipping to cool beats, his skipping skills improved incredibly. Riley has been impressing everyone with his skipping skills and inspiring lots of classes to grab the skipping ropes and start practicing. Well done Riley!
