We hopped off the OutDoor Demo shuttle overwhelmed with options. Here we are at the base of a canyon in the desert with nothing but sweet singletrack all around. We headed up the main road toward the out door booths to see what damage we could do for the day. As we walked up the road there were a few dinky little stands and we thought "is this it?"
We walked by one stand after the other...road bikes...no....road bikes...no....Flybar...hey what's that?! Freestyle pogo sticking at its finest.
This ain't your father's pogo stick. If you are good you can get six or seven feet of air with this baby. Check out the video from the Flybar Web site to get an idea of what can be done with this bar-wonder.
Here's J-Vic with all of about 6 inches of air...
Actually he started to get the hang of it after a few minutes. "It's all in the timing...just wait for the bottom-out," says J.
The innards of this amazing stick is loaded with a special 
elastomer and must be tuned to the weight of your body. Just keep engaging or disengaging the elastomers until it feels just right.
Extreme pogo sticking...the next great Olympic sport!
