  1. Check out this amazing looking new (Sept 15, 2004) pogo stick. There are
    some nice videos: 'www.flybar.com' (http://www.flybar.com). You can buy
    one at amazon for $299. And on 'Amazon's site'
    (http://tinyurl.com/4vmxj) there's even a review by Ashrita Furman
    (famous unicyclist and holder of the most records in the Guiness Book of
    Records record).

  2. I saw Ashrita Furman working on setting a juggling pogo record in
    Central Park in 1989 or so. Can't remember the details or if he succeded
    in breaking the record.

    My Razor Airgo pogo stick from Sharper Image must pale in comparison
    against this new one. Except in price. Mine was only $100 and that was
    at an expensive store. If the Airgo is still out there, it's probably a
    cheaper alternative, but I'd like to try out one of these new ones...

  6. $299 seems kinda steep unless you are really serious. I think pneumatic
    pogo sticks are more reliable and wear less, too. Not to mention their
    lighter and lower-profile...

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?

  7. Those videos are great. I think the second last one could possible make
    a really nice unicycle trick. Like a unispin, just harder! Look how
    much air he gets, it's not really all that much. I think someone will
    be able to do it on a unicycle. I'd love to see it.

  9. me and my mate unicycle, another mate pogo's.

    he's got a Razo AirGo and it doesn't go high but it takes the drops. He
    jumps off phone-boxes and other high stuff.

    He's gonna get an X-games stick - those things go about 5ft high!! there
    are about £50quid over here.

    you should check Xpogo.com, it's a whole new world!

    Unicycles are still better tho!

  10. Great!!! Another new and exciting way for me to hurt myself.

    I would rather put the three bills towards another uni, but I'd sure
    give it a try...

    The only question is, which is geekier... the pogo or the uni?

    over and we're drunk or bored or something.
