Flybar Master Pogo Stick

Best present ever. Very strong and gives great height for the user. You do need some weight to get it started.

I was a little concerned with some of the reviews on this product, but went ahead and bought it anyway. My 10 year old, 90 pound son, wore out his last pogo stick, and after doing a lot of searching I decided on this one. He absolutely LOVES it! Decent quality and a great price! I will admit I was a little nervous with the height he was getting out of it....much higher than his old one, but he has very good control. He uses it everyday, and it's holding up very well. Now, my other son wants one too, but I told him to ask Santa! The only thing I made my son promise he would do, was to make sure the rubber tip was on the stick before he used it every time, only because some other reviews said it fell off. Nothing like that so far, but it only makes sense that something made out of rubber is going to wear out someday.

子供の誕生日で購入しましたが大人でも楽しめるし結構な運動量です。

Excelente construccion. soporta adultos, y se ve muy resistente

I ordered the Black and Silver version (More like black and a little gray). Different colors may have different results. Not only is there a color difference, most of is different, but they operate the same way. Fresh out of the box, I examined it for any imperfections in order to write a full and complete review. Right out of the box, I lubricated it using CRC 05074 Heavy Duty Silicone Multi-Use Lubricant - 7.5 Wt Oz. . I started jumping on normal ground, no grass, no dirt. In only 1 hour of jumping, paint started to chip off the nails/bolts/screws, the foam started to rip near the foot area (My foot makes tight contact with the foam at the bottom when I jump without hands.) I feel like this pogo stick was made for people shorter than 5'. I'm a couple inches taller, and I don't fell completely comfortable. The paper/instructions says that the spring needs some softening and breking in, but it felt pretty good. I'm not sure how high this can go, but it does depend on weight; I'm pretty satisfied with the weight. Other/Most reviews say that the tips fall off in a week/month/whatever and it's no longer usable. For a little over $5, tips can be replaced via a form included. Other parts can also be replaced. For my 1 hour, the tip was perfect, but that could change later. I take care of this very well, I lubricate it constantly, always wipe of dust, dirt, and I super glue all foam ripping off. FIRST IMPRESSION SUMMARY: Good: Nice look/pattern (Black and Silver) Good air Good grip on foot pads (but 50% grip depends on your shoe) Durable tip (1 week constant jumping) Comfortable foam handles Bad: Paint chips on screws Foam slightly ripping A little small (I'm 5' 3") Collects dust on the bottom Foam Handles are glued. (Looks cheap, looks like its going to peel) When wearing shorts, the foam causes too much friction against the legs when not using hands. Burns. Lightning patter cracking and peeling. ----------------------------------- UPDATE: So far, its been about two weeks, the pogo stick still matches up with the review above. I inspect, clean, and lubricate my pogo stick constantly. Another Update: 4/1/13 - This pogo stick is still alive, I still lubricate it, and it's fine. No problems. 7/20/13 - Regular use, no problems with the function. I'm sure the spring softened up a bit. Regular scratches, foam torn, but that rubber tip is still very strong.
