Pogo Passion Blog

pogo sticks

Pogo sticks are fun and springy toys that people can jump on. Not like a trampoline though!
pogo sticks jump with you. 


Some people can do tricks like grinding and flipping.They have REALLY springy 
pogo sticks. 
Some times they are used for transportation. Its really hard to bounce forward though. A grind uses the bottom of the things that you stand on. You can  do a still grind too.  You jump up onto a corner, balance there, and then jump off. Some basics are that you might jump into the air, and take one or two hands or feet off, and then quickly put them back again before you hit the ground. Another one is that you could push the top or bottom of the pogo stick forwards and to the the sides. sometimes you can combine the two together. Like taking a hand off and pushing the pogo stick to the side. But remember, these tricks can only be done well on the REALLY springy pogo sticks. The pros make up there own tricks. Like jumping off a wall, back flipping off, while pushing the bottom of the pogo stick forward. The trick I recommend to try first is one where you go up into the air, and quickly turn it so the handles are pointing away and into you. Try to land on the ground same as normal. The new trick of 2014 is jumping off walls.

The hardest thing to decide is where to do it. But don't worry! The answer is right here! You can basically do it anywhere, if it's a nice dry day. If it isn't, you will end up like this.

not good.
I'm sorry I wasn't any help there!
In a city there are lots of places you can do it. There are lots of poles and staircases that you can do it on. There are lots of vines that you can bounce onto, swing around on then catch another pogo stick.




He is grinding. You see how he's using the bottom of the things that you stand on? This a message for beginners: DO NOT TRY AT HOME!!!

Another one NOT TO DO AT HOME it one I call THE SCREWDRIVER!!! 
If you can do it,........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Then good for you. 

bye!
