My husband is a big guy and he loves anything involving balance. He has unicycles, skateboards, etc. He always wanted to pogo, but he weighs 215lbs and was frustrated that no stick could support him. He bought the AIR-GO from Razor, but it did not really "spring" too much. He bought this and loves it. He goes no-handed, backwards, one-footed, and his favorite - he pops up and rotates the stick 180 degrees and lands and keeps going. If you are bigger, but want to pogo, this is for you. He can jump about 5 feet across and maybe 1-2 feet high. It sure looks fun!

The stick will bruise up the insides of you knees, but after a while you get used to it, and not even notice them. this stick is NOT ment for children NOR anyone under 120lbs. The stick is ment for tricks. If you are only buying this stick to bounce on, don't write a bad review when you find out the spring is insanely stiff.

Only buy if you're into tricks. For that purpose, it's awesome.

I'm 43 and this is nothing like the weak pogo stick my little brother had when I was a kid. I surprised everyone in the family (even myself) when I ordered it. When it arrived, I discovered I had the Gravity Games version, which I think looks better because it isn't red. It was fully assembled, too. The spring was so stiff, I was afraid to get on it at first but I took it to my little brother's house and we had a blast with it. You won't catch me doing any extreme tricks at my age, but it's plenty fun just to bounce around and try to stay bouncing. Indoors, I use it as an exerciser by just trying to balance on it. It's quite a workout. Don't let the stiff spring intimidate you, once you start bouncing, you will appreciate it. I've already had so much fun with this pogo stick, it paid for itself on the first day. (The looks on people's faces when they see a grown man bouncing on a pogo stick make it even more fun.) It is well constructed and I expect it to last a long time. But like I said, I won't be doing any extreme tricks with it. If you try hard enough, you can break just about anything. If you get too crazy with it or don't pay attention to what you are doing, you can hurt yourself too. I get enough of a rush just taking it easy.

Just a brief note to our customers. The Super Pogo clamp (the piece above the spring)is now shaved down on the sides. This modification is not shown in the photo. The sides of the clamp are now even with the square chrome plated tubes... no more knee bumping!
Because of your feedback the Super Pogo is better then ever.
Enjoy!

Neither my son nor I (each 120 lbs) could get this stick to bounce enough to experience the kind of fun I remember when pogo-sticking as a child. Also, the red plastic piece above the spring turned out to inflict enough pain (which turned into huge bruises on the insteps of our knees) as we jumped, that neither of us could tolerate jumping more than a few jumps at a time. This is a very sturdy piece of equipment, and it's a shame it wasn't designed better. The one bright spot is that my 180 lb. husband was able to get a good bounce on it, and he didn't have the knee problem.

IN BRIEF: This bounced well for my 180 lb husband, but not for me at 120 lbs. Some peoples' knees run into the red plastic piece above the spring, causing pain and bruises. You should try this out at a store before you buy it. Note that the plastic piece runs from 19.5 to 21.5 inches above the foot rest. If your knees fall in that range (when measured from the arch of your shoe - because you'll need your shoes on to use this!), then this may not work for you.

GOOD POINTS ABOUT THIS STICK: sturdy; large end on bottom of stick that makes it easy to balance (compared to some sticks, at least); comfortable handles; large foot rests; and strong spring that won't bottom-out on grown men. A good toy for dad!

The Gravity Games Pogo Stick is by far the best pogo stick currently on the market. You can jump higher, jump longer, and enjoy the ride more than any other stick. It's not for younger kids, the spring is made for heavier old kids. When the whole world decides to take up pogo sticking, this is the stick that they will choose.

We bought the Pogo Stick as birthday gift for my 9 year old son. He loved it when he opened it up, but, soon became bored. It is quite sturdy. I imagine he can give it to his son when he has one. My 200lb, 6'3",41 year old husband loves it, however

I bought this pogo stick with money from my fifteenth birthday, I instantly took it outside and bounced up a storm, fun-fun-fun. The second day though I used it to the point where friction made the glue holding the rubber stopper harden and the stopper fell out, luckily there's Gorilla Glue. Whether or not you've heard that you'll bang your knees up on this, you will, but only for about a week. my bruises were about five inches in diameter. Also, the foam grips will probably needs some sort of customizing, mine slide back and forth a little, and if your stick falls when the grips are off the edge a little they rip some. With all the negative things said first, this is a great pogo stick to get, it's the cheapest of the high end ones and the only with a spring. Another thing you may or may not have read about is the stiffness, I'm about one-hundred twenty-five pounds, the minimum recommended weight and I still clear two feet easy. As a workout you might find it hard aerobicly to bounce for a long time, during the summer after about twenty minutes I'll be sweating profoundly. The last thing I learned that I'll share is that if your buying this to get started in Xpogo like I was, don't expect to be doing tricks right away, it is hard I had experience from a Pogo Roo and there is a lot of balancing, manipulation, and skill involved, so you'll need to build up your strength/ability before you can pull off that 'Under the Leg Bar Spin 180 into a Body Wrap Reverse Stall'. Anyway, I hope you enjoy if you choose to buy this.

Tis a great pogo if you're a little older or a little bigger....try to be over 150 lbs. if you want to get some serious air. This pogo is very strong...probably the strongest on the market. But, I have seen a couple of these break. It just depends what you are going to do with them. Mine broke because of the tricks I was trying to do. But If you just want to have fun bouncing and you're too big for those bite size pogos....get this one!

I've owned this item for more than a month now - use it 2-3 times a week for exercise only (I'm 45 years old), not extreme tricks or jumping through flaming hoops. Had a pogo stick as a kid but not since. Unit is solid-feeling and springs are correct for my weight of 190 lbs. Unit works well and is fun exercise for me (it'll get me huffing and puffing quickly) - I'm sure to wear a helmet and pads just in case. So far this pogo stick is as advertised and has been a worthwhile purchase for me.
