[benjaug]

A movie of me and my friend pogo-ing.

[amanda.gallacher]

i like your shoes

[stuntpogoer]

that was horrible.

[zfreak220]

you have a squeaky voice.

[benjaug]

I hate talking on camera, because of my voice.
And yeah... it was made as a kind of joke, because my friend really wanted to make a unicycle video but is just learning, so we decided to pogo stick.

[SycoJeff]

i had this really broken one and i was doing like 360 pogospins on it
my friend broke his by going of a 5 foot jump:p
he had another one that I could jump like 3.5 feet high on too it was sweet
(edit)(he also could jump that high He also unicycles)

[mornish]

that was awesome!

it looked like you guys had so much fum!

[benjaug]

Yeah, but what you couldn't see was that there was this huge metal thing right near our knees, so I tried to do a 180 pogo-spin (nice name) and whacked my knee really hard.

PS- Its really funny how the unicyclists liked it, but the pogo-er hated it....

It makes sense. Someone that knows anything about pogo tricks might expect something other than hopping around on a few pallets. I thought it was kinda boring.

[gordito8me]

You're better off sticking to unicycling videos.

[benjaug]

That's what I figured.... and my knees will thank me for it!

[mornish]

haha, I was doing 180 pogo spins today on my pogo stick :D


I can't seem to stop spinning though : (

[rabbithunter018]

I have a really horrible pogo stick; it bottoms every time I hop. I can do 180 pogo spins, jump up stairs, and I think I almost did a leapfrog once, but I can't do much else because it sucks. One of those really beeft onse that shoot you up 4 feet and people do backflips with would be cool!:D

theres a backflipping video

as for spinning, theres nothing that really helps you to not do it, you just gotta practice alot.

and in pogoing, its called a barspin.

and you releasing that video is like me releasing a stupid video of me riding my unicycle and doing nothing else. stupid, right?

and my knees are messed up also. sometimes it hurts really bad to walk and run.

[Jerrick]

and you releasing that video is like me releasing a stupid video of me riding my unicycle and doing nothing else. stupid, right?

Yes, it would be exactly the same, then someone just like you would go and give you a comment about your stupid unicycling video.:rolleyes:

Great vid though, looks like you were having lots of fun, and that is what matter, not about the difficulty of the tricks done.

[tobbogonist]

+1 Jerrick

nice movie, looked like fun although once again i see unicyclists with no acting skills.
I wish i had a video camera.
Loved the way he 'made' a pogo stick, not sure on the song though, didnt quite capture the feeling. looking foreward to another.

[brendan]

lol it made me laugh.. i want to try a pogo stick.... :D aint tried one fo rlike 7yrs or sommit

[iridemymuni]

i liked it.

great video *thumbs up*

[stuntpogoer]

you guys are too positive.

on the xpogo forum everyone fights and argues. were just hardcore like that.

i like this place.

[Jerrick]

woo!

i like this place.

I wouldnt call that hardcore, sound more immature to me. =p No offense though.

Its good to be positive, it makes people feel better about themselves which makes them want to keep making movies, and keep trying their hardest to improve and have fun. Thats what is all about afterwall.

Hows the unicycling going for you?

[stuntpogoer]

dude...

sarcasm....

i said hardcore to be stupid.

[Jerrick]

Ok I might have gotten a little carried away:o

[Jerrick]

Its all in good fun. =p

[skilewis74]

Looks like you guys had fun.

If you aren't good at hopping up stuff, it looks like pogoing could be transitional thing before you can consistently hop up curbs, single pallats.

[benjaug]

Actually, I have found that the pogo stick really helps.

[headstone]

....helps you learn to hop like you're on a pogo stick, which looks stupid.

[benjaug]

Well, I just want to learn how to hope first, then I will worry about how I look.

[thejdw]

I love doing 360* bar spins on a pogo stick... But the clap smacks my knees:( So I'm gonna learn to do 180* on my unicycle(when I can be bovered):D

[thejdw]

Well, I just want to learn how to hope first, then I will worry about how I look.
Hopping is realy quit easy;)

[gordito8me]

just wear sixsixone 4x4's lol that would look really funny.

[stuntpogoer]

haha... sixsixone... me and my pogo team are sponsored by them

and the guy i bought my unicycle off 2 weeks ago just got the check yesterday for the uni.... im pissed

[Spencer Hochberg]

haha... sixsixone... me and my pogo team are sponsored by them
Ha, so are half the people on this site.

[stuntpogoer]

well, i got my uni today, its hard as hell to ride, though i can hop perfectly.

any tips?

[Jerrick]

Most of your weight should be on the seat, back straight, look forward, make sure your not sitting on anything, so move everything up front and out of the way, be comfy, pedal.

Youll probably get a pedal or tow in at a time, then it keeps getting longer, soon its 10 feet, and you just gotta keep practicing.

Wave your arms like crazy if you have too.

[stuntpogoer]

since i cant quite ride and i can hop pretty good, i learned this. in pogoing its called a peg tap.

is that good for unicycling for 2 hours?

[Jerrick]

I forgot what that is called, but I know its a freestyle trick.

Try doing it with one foot on the pedal, then instead of using your hand to lower the seat, use your other foot. =p

That is very good. :D

[Spencer Hochberg]

Haha, I think its funny that you are already learning tricks but can't ride yet. I like riding then going into that trick and doing a body varial out, its fun.

[uni.rider.13]

I can't see the picture. Can someone make a link or something so I can somehow see it. It is just a red x. Oh and sorry to threadjack.:o

[stuntpogoer]

as soon as i learn to ride im gonna be trying tricks, and ive got a few pogo tricks that no one has ever landed on a unicycle... cuz theyre pogo tricks. and theyre cool as hell

[stuntpogoer]

alrite...

so after 4 days (and barely, because ive been pogoing most the time and only spending about a hour of every day practicing), i can ride consistently (as long as i want) turn slightly, still got practice on the turning, and hop. the thing that stops me from going long distances is my legs get REALLY tired and i just give up... will i get used to the feeling or something or is it cuz my legs are pretty messed up from pogoing?

thanks
earl

[uni.rider.13]

You will learn to sit on the seat more and pretty much have no pressure on the pedals as on the seat. I am teaching my friend to ride and he pretty much stands on the pedals the whole time. So his legs get tired just like yours. He says it is worse than running a long distance. But I think when he finally gets good at riding he will be better at sif.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

yeah, it won't take long for your legs to stop wearing out. your crazy that youre already doing tricks!

[The.Mars.Volta]

i can do 360 pogo spins and i jumped down 6 of my stairs at the front of my house
