Vurtego Pogo Stick

> [@](#):

> If you had a pogo stick, as a kid, but found bouncing up and down kind of dull, the Vurtego is a quantum leap. This is the most extreme pogo stick ever made; an experience not for the faint-of-heart. Unlike the spring-toys you knew decades ago, father and son team Bruce and Brian Spencer created this pneumatically driven unit. Pressurized using a standard air pump, once you calibrate the stick, you’re in for a heck of a bounce.
> 
> This pogo is ultra-light (under 10 pounds) and definitely NOT designed for the newbie. (Macho dude and dudette: You had better know how to pogo before you attempt Vurtego.) Nevertheless, with some skills, a helmet, and no fear, you can set world records with this high-bouncing phenomenon. Good Vurtego jumpers leap over parked cars and other urban artifacts. You have to see this high-flying gift in action. Available in three sizes with a suggested price of $349.
