Just like paddle ball, the hula hoop, and to a lesser degree, Skip-It™, the Pogo Stick has always come across as a pretty pointless venture.  It’s a device that is absolutely thrilling for approximately 3-5 minutes, but afterwards it’s quickly relegated to the back corner of the garage and never spoken of again.  However, this video proves that the Pogo Stick’s capabilities have been seriously underestimated. Taking elements from skate culture, BMX cycling, and parkour Pogo-Sticking has emerged as a noteworthy extreme sport. (and from the looks of this video it certainly should be)  In fact there is now a national championship for the Pogo Stick called Pogopalooza, which is done in a similar fashion as the fast-paced, high-flying X-Games.
