I was aware althought not many are that their is actually a group of people who pogo as a sport, but it never seemed that interesting. Until now!! Check out the newest Pogo Stick design

I saw that guy a couple of days ago on OLN Gravity Files. I think he's that same guy that said he practiced a skateboard trick for 6 years before landing it even once. Crazy.

"Now" sounds like it may start on Sept. 15, when the product ships. It looks like a cool pogo! It's nice to have pogo sticks that can handle adult weight. Kids' ones are just no fun. I have an Air Go that I got at Sharper Image for too much money (1/3 the price of this new one). When pumped up, you can get plenty of height with it. It's great exercise, but remember gravity is a factor at all times, and the higher you go the harder you'll land if you don't land it on the spring!

If you are into trials or freestyle unicycling it is definately worth playing round with a more advanced pogo stick for a bit of fun. (you want one that will handle an adult's weight and abuse)
Tony and I played round with a hydraulic pogo stick a couple of times and found we could pull off a bunch of uni inspired tricks
-suicide mount -no handed pogo (ala no handed seat in front) -no handed pogo (ala stand up wheel walk) -jump mount -spin mount -flying jump mount -180" pogo spin -one footed pogo
I had a go on a friend's Air Go pogostick a while ago, which was pretty good fun. I jumped off the stage in a school hall (about 4 feet) and hopped up 4 stairs (hitting each stair individually). Jumping down stairs is also possible. I jumped a 5-set in one hop.
