Check this new pogo stick out...
So I logged on to amazon to xmas shop, and came across this....
"Engaging the Thrusters The patented Flybar 1200 spring system consists of 12 independent rubber thrusters. Each one is capable of storing up to 100 pounds of thrust when stretched to full extension (300%). Multiply that by 12 and that puts up to 1,200 pounds of thrust under you. (You didn't think the model number was coincidental, did you?) That's enough to get a 170-pound rider over 5 feet of elevation.
Engaging thrusters is quick and easy and can be done with the outer shell on or off. Adjusting the number of thrusters will change the feel of the spring from soggy to stiff and can be used to limit the bouncing height of the Flybar for beginners. Adjustability is also how the Flybar is capable of accommodating such a wide range of rider weights. To start we recommend engaging one thruster for every 20 pounds of rider weight using a minimum of four at any time.
To engage a thruster, just use the included tool (that niftily stows in the Flybar's protective top cap) to lift the T-shaped hanger up and into its cradle in the upper mount. Disengaging is just the opposite. The slots on the Flybar outer shell allow you to do this without taking the Flybar apart. In under 30 seconds the Flybar can be adjusted to the appropriate spring setting and passed from an 80-pound rider to a 250-pound rider."
