FLYBAR......what do yall think.........

i really really want one.
really really badly.
those things have no wheels, which makes them not as cool as a
unicycle, but the height is so cool. It's almost as cool.

how much were they?

I sold a few QU AX V800s and the guys who bought them went wild jumping
all over the place. They then discovered the Flybar on the net and want
them. Somehow we will get a few of them to Australia whether it will be
from a wholesaler or retailer, we don't know yet.

I personnaly don't know if I would be game to jump off buildings like
some of the vids show, but I would still love to have one.

If you check their website with links to retailers. Most of the Flybar
1200 (up to 250 lbs) are $299. They have a Flybvar 800 for
lighter/smaller people, not sure how much it is.

They are sending me two 1200s. I guess so I don't look goofy by
myself. No biggie, do all the time on my Unis.

I will post my experience with them once they get here.

One of the guys here has one and he sometimes brings it to Muni rides so
we can play around before/after the ride. They're pretty fun, but heavy
and a bit scary when you really get going. Cool as they are, unicycles
are cooler, by far!

Pogo stick trials and street. 🙂

There have been some previous threads here about the Flybar. I don't
know if anyone has actually gotten one though.

I tried to jump down a stair with a pogo stick, the stair was only 3
steps or so, it hurt.

If you can jump as high as the guy in the pic, Im sure you can try to
do a 720 unispin on it.

Check this out!

I saw this thing in Discover magazine. I emailed the manufacturer
yesterday to ask about shipping one to Iraq. They were happy to hear
from me and are sending TWO Flybars, hats and T-shirts to me for
FREE!!!!

Now, how to integrate the flybar into a uni workout?

These guys are great!

Here is their webpage - www.flybar.com

Where did you find the email address? What did you say?

Is this you? or is it just coincidence that the guy who won is a uni
rider.

If you're going to do stairs on pogo sticks, just make sure you have the
right technique (one handed). Here is how you go up:

The free hand is just for steering. With better technique you can do
without it.

Not that pogo sticks aren't annoying when it comes to what direction
you're facing. They definitely don't "steer" well.

I have a Razor AirGo pogo stick, which is air-powered and adjustable to
fit the weight of the rider (up to around 250lbs or so). You can jump
quite high on it as well. But the problem with jumping high on a pogo
stick is, like, gravity.

People can get deceived that pogo-sticking is like jumping on a
trampoline. But it isn't. A trampoline covers a large area, and can't
go crooked on you. If you bail or mess up on a pogo, the ground
suddently gets real hard. Landing with the stick too crooked is
probably even worse...
