In this video, which was recorded on the beach in the area of the Huntington Beach, California boardwalk area, the Flybar Pogo Stick Stunt Team performs in front of a large crowd of beach-goers. At the beginning of the video there is an impressive 4-person handstand (It’s not really a handstand, I’m just not sure what else to call it. You will have to watch the video to see what I mean.) Then, at around the 6:10 mark, one of the stunt members performs a double-backflip off of his Flybar pogo stick. It looked like they were going to actually try and use a pogo stick to jump over a line of 10 different people, but they didn’t actually end up doing it. On an additional note, the Flybar Stunt Team was recently featured on the Ellen Degeneris TV Show in Los Angeles. I’ll have to try and find that pogo stick video next!

Flybar is the name of a company producing high-quality pogo sticks for the 21st century.

The original creator of the pogo stick was SBI Enterprises, which since first releasing the pogo stick in the year 1918 has sold millions of different pogo sticks. For more than 80 years, the pogo stick design remained princiaply the same. That is, until the year 2000, when inventor and physicist Bruce Middleton approached SBI Enterprises and told them he had a design for a new pogo stick that would revolutionize the definition of the modern-day pogo stick.

Bruce Middleton’s design for the modern-day pogo stick would replace the traditional spring-loaded metal rod with a series of rubber spring elements, which would transform the traditional pogo stick of days gone by into a high-flying modern-day sport.

Soon after Middleton and SBI Enterprises teamed up, they brought on eight-time World Cup champion skateboarder, Andy Macdonald, to help market and promote the new pogo stick design. A lifelong fan of pogo sticks and pogo stick tricks, Andy figured that if someone was going to revolutionize the classic pogo stick toy, he had better make sure he was a part of the project so he could make sure the new design was built to his exact specifications.

Since then, Andy, Bruce and SBI Enterprises have been working together to build the Flybar pogo stick line. The Flybar 800 pogo stick was one of their first mass-market pogo sticks that sold incredibly well and continues to sell very well, even to this day. Now, however, the Flybar line has introduced their latest product, the Flybar 1200, which weighs an additional seven pounds and is capable of launching its rider more than five feet into the air.

Flybar really is reinventing the pogo stick. They’ve not only created a line of products that bring a totally new meaning to the pogo stick, but they are creating a sport, a lifestyle and a brand from the world of high-flying pogo sticks.

The Flybar website is a great place to get started when learning more about the Flybar name, pogo sticks, and additional pogo stick tricks.
