What is the post stick world record for the high jump?

Well, the record changes all the time, but as of this writing, the pogo stick world record for the high jump is 9 feet 6 inches. The record was set by Dan Mahoney at the Pogopalooza 7 pogo stick competition in Salt Lake City, Utah. The video above shows Dan using his Flybar 1200 pogo stick to jump over a bar set a nine feet six inches and break the world record for the highest jump ever performed on a pogo stick.

Compare this video to just three years ago (2007) when Fred Grzybowskiset the pogo stick world record for the highest jump at just 7 feet six inches. Over the past three years, a total of 2 additional feet has been added to the record. Just imagine where we might be in another three years?

Do you think you could break the pogo stick world record for the highest jump on a pogo stick? How high do you think pogo stick athletes will be jumping in three to five years? My guess is that we will see a pogo sticker jump more than 12 feet into the air at some point in the very near future?
