With significant improvements to some very basic equipment, a kid’s favourite faded summer past-time is making a come back. The pogo stick once had a very simple design consisting of a straight pole, a top handle, footrests at the bottom, and a spring located somewhere along the pole—all meant to catapult its rider a couple of feet into the air. However, modern pogo sticks achieve over 3 meters in height and permits the jumper to perform some very impressive tricks. The new version of this sport has rightly earned the name of extreme pogo or “Xpogo”. 

Over the past couple of decades, this action sport is performed on extreme pogo sticks known for their durability and the height a rider can achieve, (approx. 10 ft. of height measured from the ground to the bottom of the tip). Xpogo has joined the extreme sports community and has been eagerly welcomed into popular culture as witnessed by the expanding number of global Xpogo athletes, and the greatly expand equipment sales. Around the world, Xpogo athlete exhibition teams have are receiving positive feedback and continued interest in Xpogo content on YouTube e.g.
