MP Uni · 2011-11-08, 04:17 PM

Yeah title says it all. So please join it will be very fun.
There are a few restrictions... well maybe just one, but that is NO FLYBARS or super sticks or whatever you call them.

Hi.

Just curious. Growing up I wore out 3 pogo sticks. I don't have one right now; however, this post catches my attention. I'm not aware of what all is possible with a pogo stick, but now that I think of it I used to invent my own tricks. I could jump down the back steps, and I could jump rope with the pogo stick by holding the pogo with my knees and working the jumprope in the usual manner. I'm sure I would need to practice to re-gain that ability.

Pogo sticks are tons easier than unicycles. Are there some good reasons for taking up my childhood obsession again?

What types of pogo stick skills are you suggesting?

Now you have me thinking about purchasing a new pogo stick.

Those were both pretty cool videos. But I kind of think Eli could.

I especially liked the Blue Lips video, seeing many parallels between the pogo-ing and unicycling. Lots of very similar moves. But it started to get repetitive toward the end, and I was making up tricks that guy still needs to try. I was expecting him to do a kick-up, when he had it balanced over on an angle, but didn't bring it back upright using his foot...

So you can do cool stuff with a pogo stick, but like a beginning Trials rider, it's all hops. You never get to roll!

Man you make so many good sig line quotes.

Oh.

Nevermind.

Think I'll stick with the uni now.

Pretty impressive Eli!

I like that idea quite a bit, but I have to improve my hopping first.
Then I will be able to have cake and eat it too!

I'm working on it.

Those guys are like the best of the best at pogo. I've dabbled in it a little bit, but it's just too high-risk for me.

bobousse · 2011-11-16, 01:19 PM

Incredible Pogo Stick Freestyle stunt - just...

Not as flat as those posted by Eli, though.
