Flybar 800 – Pogo Stick Review

flybar-800

The Flybar 800 is the first of Flybar’s high-lying pogo sticks. The Flybar 800 is a 13 pound pogo stick with a potential jumping height of 4 feet or more – depending on how much you weight and how athletic you are. You can get a lot higher than 4-feet if you really try.

The Flybar 800 is a pogo stick designed for riders age 12 and up. Even adults can use this incredible high-flying pogo stick. The Flybar 800 has a recommended weight range of 80-180 pounds, meaning that if you weigh over 180 pounds you probably need to upgrade to the Flybar 1200 pogo stick, which is capable of carrying riders who weight in excess of 180 pounds.

The Flybar 800 pogo stick is unique in that unlike traditional pogo sticks which are designed with a long steel rod that extends from the top of the stick to the bottom and is covered with a large metal spring that provides the jumping platform, the Flybar 800 is designed with a series of rubber spring elements, which is how this pogo stick gets its supernatural height. The Flybar 800, because of its unique design, really is the first pogo stick designed for the 21st century pogo stick athlete. The Flybar 800 is the pogo stick that transformed pogoing from a silly backyard toy into a modern, high-flying sport.

The Flybar 800 works to launch you so high up into the air because it is made with a series of rubber “thruster” rods, which are designed to stretch up to 300% each and every time your pogo stick comes into contact with the ground. This extreme stretch in the rubber bands is what allows the pogo stick to fly up to 4 feet or more in the air. And best of all, the rubber thruster bands on the Flybar 800 can be fine-tuned to reflect any jumper’s skill level. So, if you are just starting out, you can adjust the rubber bands so that they won’t throw you quite as far up into the air. But after you get some practice and become really good at using your Flybar 800, you can quickly and easily adjust the Flybar 800′s rubber thrusters so that they will launch you as high as humanly possible. This is an incredible feature and not something you will find on traditional pogo sticks. This is just part of what makes the Flybar 800 so magnificent and professional.

In addition to being super fun to ride, the Flybar 800 us a great pogo stick toy that can be used to build balance, strength and endurance. Using a Flybar 800 as part of your workout regimine is a truly fun, inspirational and challenging workout.

The Flybar 800 is constructed of high-strength, reinforced aluminum and it features sure-grip handlebars and foot pegs that let you stick every bounce perfectly.

Designed for pogo stick riders age 12 and up, the Flybar 800 is one of the most popular and highly-recommended pogo sticks in the world.

Flybar 1200 – Pogo Stick Review

flybar-1200

The Flybar 1200 is the best pogo stick you can buy. The Flybar 1200 is the newest and greatest pogo stick made by the Flybar company. Before the Flybar 1200, the Flybar 800 was the best pogo stick on the market when it came to catching big air. But now, the Flybar 1200 is regarded by many as the best pogo stick in the world.

What makes the Flybar 1200 so incredible is that with this high-flying pogo stick, you can jump more than five feet into the air. In fact, you can jump a whole lot higher than that if you really have some skills. Fred Grzybowski, for example, just recently used a Flybar 1200 pogo stick to jump over a highbar that was 9 feet 6 inches up in the air. In fact, the jump was so high, he set a world record for the highest jump ever performed on a pogo stick. And he did it on a Flybar 1200. So that kind of shows just how powerful the Flybar 1200 really is.

Just like the Flybar 800, the Flybar 1200 uses a series of elastic rubber bands to launch the rider into the air. This set of rubber bands is adjustable and can be set for riders of different body weights and different skill levels. That means that if you decide to, you can really crank up the pogo stick and use it to get some major air and perform some serious stunts. The Flybar 1200 is solely powered by leg strength, body weight and the pogo sticks internal rubber band system. There are no pneumatic or artificial propulsion mechanisms inside this pogo stick!

The Flybar 1200 is such an incredible product that it recently received the 2004 Delrin Brand New Award given by Dupont for the best new hardware product at ISPO, the world’s largest sporting goods trade show.

If you are a rider weighing between 120 and 225 lbs, then the Flybar 1200 might just be the perfect pogo stick for you. Not only is it the best pogo stick in the world for performing big tricks, but it is also one of the most impressive pogo sticks ever made.

Pogo Stick World Record – High Jump

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?
