POGO sticks, anyone remember them

[shadow]

My DD just received a pogo stick and I did it!! I am almost 40 but still could jump!! Too funny! Anyone have them when they were little?

Are they a metal stick with handles to hold onto and pads to put your feet on and jump with?

[shadow]

Yes...but this one is neon .... it was fun for me; I cannot believe I could do it!

[wishingstar]

Have fun with the pogo!

LOL!!!! your braver than me....no really me and my sis used to fight over ours. craziest thing is nobody wanted to jump until it was being used!

Sounds like fun, I have exercised so much in the past week I am sore almost all over.

LOL, my son had a giant one and it was a blast.....I can still jump a few times on it before I fall over. He was an expert. Hubby can still do it well.

I didn't have one but my friend did....I loved it when I could jump on it any chance I got

I tried one when I was a kid and would have broken my neck I guess if we hadnt had floor pads down on both sides of us. No way - I am wayyyy too uncoordinated to give that a try again!

I thought I was too...I jumped about 20 times....I amazed my family!

remember them well along with hoola hoops and roller skates that had skate keys.

hoola hoops....I use to love those too.....I tired to swing one here not very long ago...what a joke.....I am way to fat now and can't move near as fast as I use to

My best friend had one when I was younger. When my kids got thiers about 10 years ago it amazed them that I could do it (it's like riding a bike-you never forget). I just love doing that to them.

My DD had one that we sold a few years ago at a yard sale. I did it in the driveway and wet my pants... haha

My younger sister had one. I was never that coordinated. Still am not. lol. But I definately had the metal skates.

I could not do it when I was 13 much less 35.

wow that brings back memories! I had one when I was about 11.. as I recall I hated it.. just like a kid to want something and then not use it!
