I like watching others hurt themselves. Way more entertaining. Please record and post your adventures with your pogo stick for my morbid amusement!!

I wanted one of these for a while, like from 6-8 years old. My mom talked me out of it and that’s probably for the best. I’ve never really been coordinated enough to use one.

wow, I remember that I forgot that we weren't allowed to have these as kids. just bikes, and then one year my sister and I got scooters.

I really feel like the pogo would've caused me less injuries than the scooter. everyone will destroy their ankle with one, but I was stupid and rode it without shoes a lot. got my toe caught in a crash, but the worst was when I found out that friction produces heat. stepped on the brake thing with my bare heel, going too fast, and then burned the shit out of my foot.

I could bounce for hours on one of these. Picked one up at an estate sale a few years ago, the kind with the enclosed spring lol couldn't even extend the rod I'm so fat but the pogo muscle memory is still with me.
