Flybar 800 Pogo Stick - Super High, Super Fly Bouncing

In the past, pogo sticks worked with steel springs - put in a coil and bounce up and down on it. You'd get a mild bounce but you'd never get that high. The FlyBar 800 replaces the traditional spring coil with rubber spring elements that act as thrusters to really launch you off the ground.

The rubber springs can stretch up to 300 percent and are adjustable to your weight, skill and goals. (Maybe you're just after a two-foot bounce instead of four!) You adjust by engaging just the right number of thrusters to jump with your full strength. You want to be able to get the foot pedals almost to the ground while jumping as hard as you can.

You also need to adjust the piston length for optimal bouncing. Set it anywhere from seven to 18 inches - the longer the piston, the higher the bounce. Go with a shorter piston length if you're a novice jumper and work your way up to longer lengths and higher jumps.

Not everyone needs or can handle the power of the FlyBar 800 pogo stick. If you're a beginning jumper (or just afraid of heights like me!), you might consider a less powerful pogo stick like the Flybar Foam Master.

Designed a bit more like a traditional pogo stick, the Flybar Foam Master is a great option for younger kids and novice jumpers. It features a rugged metal frame covered in precision-made foam, replaceable non-slip foot pads, easy-grip handles, and a rubber tip to help you stay in control.
