I think one of the best tips that you could give someone new on these particular pogo sticks anyways is to always pull up the pogo stick keeping it planted on your feet at all times

[@melissacairns1233]

I'm trying to watch videos to see where the pogo handle height should be and it looks like it's at your hip joint, is that correct? I've seen both hips and waist mentioned on other videos. My son is 10 but only 60lbs and the 40-80lb pogos would hit at his hip joint (peg to handle measurements) while the 80-160lb rated pogos would hit at his waist. I've had one company say go bigger and grow into it and another say stick with the weight so he can compress the springs. What do you recommend?

[@pogostud]

A pogo stick should definitely hit at the groin/hip area. Any higher up and it's difficult to use. It sounds like you're looking at the Flybar pogo sticks. If so, I would recommend the 40-80lb pogo. At 60lbs he might not be heavy enough to use the 80-160lb pogo stick.

[@melissacairns1233]

@@pogostud Thank you! Yes I'm looking at the Flybar and the NSG. My son really wants one for xmas after playing around with his friends Razor pogo which seemed really hard to compress, so I'm doing my research! Sadly I have not seen any pogos that are rated 60-120lbs but at least he'll get a year or maybe two before he hands it down to his siblings.

[@felixherold1826]

Hi vurtego team, i've got a Pogo stick for 3 days , so i am a beginner. How i know how many air must be in the Pogo stick

[@vurtegopogos]

It's a personal feeling more than anything. We recommend starting with about 1/4 of your bodyweight in psi. So if you weigh 100 pounds, you should put about 25psi in to start. If you try to jump on it and the pogo stick sags to the ground and doesn't bounce back up well then you need to add more air. If you step onto it and try to jump and it doesn't budge, then you will need to remove air. Within an hour or so you should have a really good idea of how much air you prefer.

[@dr.engineering201]

vurtegopogo That pogo looks so nice, I have never had many nice things in my life,

[@Ravi.Wisdom.Whispers]

[@jasminerose9895]

How many hours a week do you suggest practicing if I desire to be skilled enough to do flips in a year? I am beginning with zero experience.

[@vurtegopogos]

Jasmine Rose if you're already comfortable doing flips on a trampoline and have a pretty good air awareness before learning to jump on a pogo stick, there's a good chance you'd be able to do a flip within a year with a few hours, or possibly even less, of practice per week.

Hi vurtego team, do you have trick to jump as hight as possible?

Felix Herold not yet but we will soon. The key is to pump the pogo stick up so that it's really stiff and then string together 5 to 6 good bounces in a row without losing your balance at all.

[@ricn2men]

I'm receiving mine today how much air should I start out with??? I'm 53 years old and I haven't pogo since I was a teenager, but I was a pro then...

[@vurtegopogos]

We usually recommend using about 1/4 of your body get in psi. So if you weigh 200 lbs, you would start off with 50 psi. After jumping around for 30 minutes or so you will get a good feel for how much air pressure you like.

[@Jim-ic2of]

I have a Vurtego V1 . It's the original version. I have given up ambitions of pogo completely . Anybody know if it's worth money ?😊

[@vurtegopogos]

Hey Jim -- unfortunately, the V1 probably isn't worth much these days. There are some people out there that love those old billet aluminum pegs and actively search for V1s because of that...but the price they're willing to pay probably isn't more than $50-75.

Which Pogo stick is best for my 9 years daughter also is that available in India.....please do let me knw

[@vurtegopogos]

Our pogo sticks are very expensive to purchase in India. We usually only recommend them for people very serious about pogo sticks who need the ability to jump high. If you can find a Flybar Master Pogo Stick locally it would probably be the best for your daughter. It will be much much cheaper to purchase.

[@shwetamishra9431]

@@vurtegopogos thank u so much

[@davidstanciu7199]

I have a ogo stick but when i jump i rotate can yo give me a tip?

[@vurtegopogos]

If it's a different pogo stick than ours and it has a round shaft on the bottom, then there is not much you can do. We designed our pogo stick with a square shaft to prevent the shaft from rotating while you jump so that you are able to control where you want to go. On a typical pogo stick, the shaft is round and it is able to rotate freely when you jump. This oftentimes causes you to jump in circles.

[@mahirmannan2946]

Is there any way to land without jumping

[@vurtegopogos]

In order to keep jumping on the pogo stick you have to power it by jumping yourself. If you stop jumping, the pogo stick will stop jumping over the course of a few jumps and then you can step off of it.

[@mandychen4595]

Mine is 52 👍 😮

[@oc8546]

I know how to pogo stick, but the vurtego hurts my pelvis. Something similar happened when I first tried out my master flybar.

Of course, my friends think I'm nuts to want to pogo at 53 years old, and they are probably correct...

[@sonic1045]

Do a video on the air. And how much ? And how much is to much ?

[@vurtegopogos]

That's a good idea! We usually recommend using about 1/4 of your bodyweight in lbs. So if you weight 100 lbs, we would recommend using 25 psi to start. From there you can adjust up and down to your comfort. As you get better or want to jump higher, you'll pump more air into it. Too much air usually means that the spring will be too stiff and you won't be able to bounce on it. There is no maximum air pressure that the pogo stick cannot handle.

[@elijahappiah2781]

oh

[@deo6feetTTV]

How do I not spin?

[@vurtegopogos]

Are you on a Vurtego pogo stick or a spring pogo stick? One of the problems with a standard spring pogo stick is that the shaft sticking out of the bottom is round. Because the shaft is round, it wants to rotate a little bit every time the spring inside of the pogo stick compresses. On the Vurtego pogo sticks we use a square shaft. The square shaft cannot rotate when you jump, which give you the ability to turn your body in order to maneuver the pogo stick and control where you are going.

@@vurtegopogos but can i use it with 122kg and 196cm?

[@vurtegopogos]

@@thecroatianzombie Yep. You'd definitely need a large for how tall you are. Your weight isn't an issue at all. We'd recommend starting at around 65psi to learn and then your sweet spot would probably be in the 85-95psi range. The more air you pump into it the stiffer the spring becomes. Most pumps can handle up to 120psi. I'd recommend getting the V4 Fit. The V4 Fit is made specifically for exercise and is safer & easier to learn on if you have not used a pogo stick before.
