I heard that skipping is just as effective as running when it comes to losing fat, any truth in this?

Jumping rope is one of the most efficient methods of cardio training. Jumping rope for 10 minutes at a moderate pace is the equivalent to running one mile in 12 minutes, cycling 2 miles in six minutes, swimming a quarter mile in 12 minutes, two sets of tennis or playing an 18-hole golf course.

That really depends on how well you can jump rope haha If you can only jump a few times in a row, that'll be pretty much entirely anaerobic, but good plyometric training I guess. If you can jumprope continuously for about 20 minutes, then you can compare it to running. Running is aerbic endurance training though. Since they're two different types of training it's really better to see how they fit with your goals (specificity!).

Hell yeah I was gonna say.
Skipping, if done properly ala Mike Tyson style, is incredibly intense cardio workout, in fact it only becomes cardio after you develop significant skill in it. To skip for 20 minutes non-stop is a considerable achievement. Personally, I (Who used to be into running) can run for miles and miles, obviously not sprint though. When it comes to skipping, I hit my max around 10 minutes straight, and I consider this to be very good :/
Generally speaking, interval training of around 2-3 minutes, rest a minute, and carry on etc. are best with skipping.

I have always felt as if the more movement out of our body the better. Ex: When sprinting you are basically using all of your muscles as compared to skipping (or jumping rope) where ou are bouncing up and down. Any method you choose to keep in shape is a good method. I once knew a guy who incorporated cart wheels into his regimen. He was jacked.

Yep
Agreed, not too many people can do that.
I hit my foot about once or twice every five minutes which is great improvement than when I started. I'm also trying to throw in the crossing, and double-unders, and sprinting which is still pretty slow into the whole mix.Bench - 285
Squat - 405
Deadlift - 455

I'd say skipping you become very accustomed to it if you just skip normally.
I've boxed and thai boxed for years and I could skip for hours, you have to vary the intensity, and try doing cross overs and by your side, then try doing them at a fast speed, you'll reach a point where you have to do this to feel some sort of burnout

I agree with nForced... I find skipping easier than running, but I'm not really known as the most efficient runner, lol.
