Review on Geospace Jumparoo Boing! Pogo Stick (60-100 Lbs, Ages 8 & Up, Medium Size), Assorted Colors by Scott Schram

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Large Boing! Pogo Stick pretty good for the price. Adult user.

As an adult in need of exercise, I was looking for a fun way to work off some calories. It didn't take too long to find my balance on this pogo stick and using it is less jarring than jumping on pavement (which I cannot do). Lots of movement, but not so much abrupt stopping, which is important to me. I'm 140 lbs and 5 foot 2 inches; the height of this large pogo stick is about right for me. It does have a distinct tendency to twist a little to one side when jumping in place (hence the 4 stars) and it can be challenging to correct for this innate spin. When moving forward, its not an issue. At the price I paid ($40), it was totally worth buying even if I don't use it long term. If money were not an issue, it would be worth paying more for a higher-end (adult) pogo stick, but for now this works well enough. I am using it 10 - 15 minutes at a time due to the spin problem - and have gotten up to 165 "hops" at a time.

Pros
  • Helps to build endurance and stamina for other physical activities
Cons
  • Limited height range for jumps
