 Good for the price January 8, 2009
Santa brought this pogo stick for my son (who's 6). He'd been asking for one for months but we figured it would be another toy that got used once and tossed aside. Since I didn't figure he'd use it much, I wasn't overly concerned about quality as I was about price. This pogo stick is great for the price. It was a bit stiff at first and hard for my son to get to jump (he's about 50 lbs). I got on it (much more than 50 lbs!) to try to loosen it up. It definately isn't made for parents, but it helped loosen it up for him to ride. He loves it! He can now jump for several minutes at a time and does tricks. This is a good starter stick, but it's not going to be able to hold him or be usable for too long. I can see how the other reviews are talking about the bottom wearing down. His is still fine, but I can see the rubbing already occuring. One of the neighbors, who is 11 tried it and he's too big for this stick, even though he's a small 11 year old. I'd say this is more for the 5-8 crowd! Overall, I'd purchase it again, knowing that down the line if he's still interested, he'll need a more sturdy one. (And I'll get one that I can hop on, too!)
 flashy pogo January 6, 2009
my grandson's sister got a pogo stick for her birthday and she wasn't the greatest about sharing, so I ordered this one for a 9 year old boy for Christmas...just right, and the black stick has a neat flash graphic on it...this boy is about 65 pounds, a stronger pogo would be too hard for him to use, this is perfect!

Santa brought a pair of these pogo sticks to our seven and eight year old daughters for Christmas (2008), and they were quite the hit. The girls weigh about 50 lbs and the size and bounce on the pogo sticks is just right. I weigh 125 lbs and I am definitely too heavy for this model.
We got the simple "Black Lightning" color Flybar Foam Maverick pogo stick - I could not see a good reason to pay more for a blue or silver.
The pogo sticks bounce well, both on little hops (like when they were first getting the hang of it) and now that they are making big, deep hops. Our younger daughter is up to over 130 hops in a row. Here in NH, it's great to have something active they can do inside (they've been hopping on the family room rug), that doesn't take up a ton of space.
Time will tell how well they last, but so far, these seem to be a good product, at this price.
 Fun... December 29, 2008
Purchased for my 5 year old, but the weight is not right on it. He isn't heavy enough to make it bounce and he is a big kid. However, my daughter, 7, can use it and thinks it's pretty cool.
SOO much FUN! December 28, 2008
Our 8 year old wanted this for Christmas last year, and we really hesitated because we worried he would be bored with it after one day. But we got it for him anyway, and now a year later he still loves to POGO! It took him awhile to get the hang of it, but can now jump 100 times in a row without falling. Great outdoor fun!
