What is a pogo stilt? Well, often times, when people mention pogo stilts, they’re talking about a stilt-like device that clamps onto the bottom part of your leg, but allows you to run and jump about as though you were on a pogo stick.
You’ve probably seen these things on TV at one point or another. Or if you have ever visited Disneyland, you likely saw some of the people who work at the park running and jumping about on pogo stilts. The pogo stilts are popular items seen on jugglers, street performers, parade clowns, and more.
Pogo stilts can also be called spring stilts, jumping stilts, bouncing stilts, fly jumper stilts, bouncy stilts, spring loaded stilts, power riser stilts, power stilts, skyrunner stilts, or stilt shoes. All of these names are used to describe various types of pogo stilts.
Below you will see three different types of pogo stilts.
PowerStrider Stilts
This first type of pogo stilt is called the PowerStrider Sport M115 and it is the most advanced entry-level jumping stilt on the market today. This new model is sure to turn heads in both its original black and new stunning, electric blue color-configurations. It is important when purchasing these pogo stilts that you choose your correct weight rating. If you are near the top of a weight rating, you should choose the next highest rating.

Air-Trekker Jumping Stilts
Finally, this last pair of pogo stilts are called the Air-Trekker Jumping Stilts M90 Extreme Edition. These powerful pogo stilts originally invented and patented by German engineer Alexander Boeck, Air-Trekkers are a spring-loaded stilt that you safely strap onto each leg. Once strapped on, you stand 18 inches taller, with a 3 foot long, space-age, carbon-fiber spring attached to each of your legs, ready to send you into orbit. By means of compression and deflection, similar to a trampoline, the spring accumulates, stores and returns the amount of energy you put into it. The harder you press down – the more energy you accumulate and the bigger the return.
With Air-Trekkers, one size does not fit all. There are different size pogo stilts for every size person. Your weight, age and cahoonas determine what model and spring strength to purchase. For you to experience maximum comfort for your weight, age, and fitness level, the company offers a wide range of models and spring strengths so everyone can enjoy Air-Trekkers.
