Flybar Master Pogo Stick for Kids, Ages 9+, 80 to 160 Pounds, Easy Grip Handles, Anti-Slip Pegs, Outdoor Toys for Boys, Jumper Toys for Girls, Outside Toys for Kids, Tweens and Teens

This pogo stick is amazing! I bought it for my summer camp, and all the kids were immediately hooked, trying to learn how. It is great for beginners, easy to get the hang of, and well balanced, but also really fun for the kids who could already do it. It bounces well, high and gives a satisfying 'boingy' feeling as you go! Kids as young as 5 were trying it, and even though they were not really heavy enough, they were able to get three or four little hops out of it which was great! I had purchased it for the 7-12 yr old group and they were all able to bounce it adequately, control it well, and no one got hurt. None of the painful knee bruising with this one either! My adult children were able to have fun with it too, even though they were all closer to the upper end of the weight limit. Highly recommend it! UPDATE: December 2018: This yr we used it for the third summer at the camp and it is still going strong, now hanging up in storage waiting for next year... minimal wear and tear and all the springs still as good as new!

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.

After reading some of the reviews, I may be a bit premature in writing one of my own. Today was the first day my grandson had the opportunity to visit and try out his new pogo stick. I am puzzled by those who commented on the weight range. My grandson is 8 years old and very thin- around 62 lbs. Since he had never been on a pogo stick before, he had a bit of a problem getting the hang of it. I told him a solid start and keep the body straight. Within 1/2 hr. he had 75 consecutive jumps. He was even able to jump off and back onto the curb. He even jumped down the block! He would not put it down. He absolutely LOVES it. My only concern is whether I can purchase extra rubber tips as this seems to be a common complaint among reviewers. I looked at the tip when Riley was finally exhausted and it already seemed to show signs of wearing down. I reminded him to avoid leaning forward as this may result in falling and injuring his vital parts. Too far back and he could fall backwards. However, it didn't take him long to know exactly what to do. If he felt himself tipping too far forward or too far backward, he hopped off. But if wasn't long before he learned to correct this while still jumping. So far, I would definitely recommend this. Although the weight restrictions indicate 80-160 lbs. He is only 62 lbs. and had no problem getting great jumps and even "catching air." The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the issue of the rubber tip wearing down so quickly.

This is our second pogo stick. My 9 year old son quickly outgrew his first one and has become quite the pogo stick expert, if there is such a thing. He needed one that wouldn't bottom out. This one is great and doesn't look like he could ever break it. He loves how high it flies and it has a good feel when you bounce. The design is minimalistic - it has no style, no color. It looks like it was created in someone's machine shop. My complaint is that there is a bracket on each side where the top of the spring is attached. These brackets stick out just enough to catch your legs as your jumping. My son has come in with raw marks on his legs through his jeans. I thought it may just be his size and maybe it'll improve as he gets taller, but it happens with me, too. We are experimenting with putting some rubber over the screws to see if that helps. We are disappointed as otherwise this seemed like a great stick.

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.

I purchased the black/yellow version of this pogo stick for my son back in September 2010 and it is hard to believe it was that long ago. He used to pogo with this every day, anymore it is once or twice a week. This is his 2nd pogo stick as he wore out the first one we bought him when he was younger. He got so big it began to bottom out. He is 10 now but he is a really big kid. The Flybar Foam Master is much stiffer and it took him some practice to get this one going. It wasn't long before he had such control and could bounce so long that he pogos his way around our condo complex with ease. It takes a few bounces to get it going so it takes more skill and he got the hang of it after a few days. Every so often I put some silicone spray on the shaft and springs. The thing has held up great and the only wear is the foam handle grips are tearing a bit. I plan to wrap them with silicone rescue tape and the problem will be solved. I'm 6'2" and weigh a few more pounds than my son. I tried this pogo a few times and I'm really not that good. It isn't the pogo stick, it is me. I just haven't logged the practice time. The last pogo I used as a kid was your basic old style pogo like the first one we bought my son. My son weighs less than me but he has NO problem controlling this thing and can pogo precisely where he wants. I read the reviews about this being too stiff, hogwash. If my son can do it then it is just a matter of practice, sticking with it and learning to keep your balance those first few stiff bounces until you get the springs working. It is sad so many people expect instant results and aren't willing to log some hours of practice before they toss something in the "too hard" pile.

I bought this pogo stick for a 12 year old girl. She has had many pogo sticks before and can spend hours using a pogo stick. She was starting to get to heavy for her old one and decided on getting a new one. She loves it! She says "This is by far the best pogo stick I have ever had!" It took her a short amount of time to get used to not being able to go down all the way. This pogo stick would not be good for someone who is under about 90 pounds. They will not be able to go down atoll. The word foam in the title makes this product sound cheep but it is not. It has foam on the outside of the pogo stick to protect you. I highly recommend you get this pogo stick and stop looking for other ones. This is the best!

was a bit hard for my 10 year old son to use at first. but hes gotten the hang of it now. the spring is a bit tighter then what it should be but i feel that it will work out after its been used for a bit

Grandson got on this little baby and had a jumpy birthday. The envy of the street.

Great product. Sturdy, well-built & pretty. Previously owned another model of the Flybar pogo stick, but this one is of exceptional quality.
