pls do speedcubing lol

[@ethanorndorff5103]

Vite Ramen? Or Bite Ramen?

[@kuuttirautaheimo7421]

How do you have so much vite ramen if the shiping is only in US? Just wondering if i can get some myself :D

[@rosefamily2351]

You need to become the UK supplier via your website Jimmy

[@valeriosiviero1126]

pppppplssssssss do trial or street trial, Is like parkour on bike and the sport really need to ne know by people, i do trial for 2 years and for me it's super duper diper funny

[@jaewol359]

I love this niche of well written extreme sports documentaries you've carved out here on youtube. I never even knew Xpogo was a thing before this video.

[@manwithpogo]

Soooo weird and beautiful to watch this video. First time I’ve seen a full perspective of ourselves from the outside - loved it, thank you for putting this together. Also - note that Russ Kaus actually landed the first double stickflip - truly the most insane moment on a pogostick thus far. We are still rocking, come join us 🌞

[@TheJunkernaut]

Yooo Dalton! I kept remembering all these little side stories while watching this video. Like watching you absolutely destroy your knees at PP7, then battling back from that to become one of the goats. Godspeed my man

[@ChristianSchu]

@manwithpogo I didn’t even know that a double stickflip existed!! Wow

[@crowdsurfer2121]

Founder of Mile High here. You did an incredible job with this Jimmy! Thank you

[@MURCIELAGOedits]

AINT NO WAY BRO YOU AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥

[@shonenjumpmagneto]

As a Skateboarder guy/person, I am in awe with a wicked smile on my face the entire video. The 16-Stair is where it was biggest.

[@davidcolta8256]

how about doing a video about dirt jumping/slopestyle mtb? i can help you with the information

[@ProductBasement]

Wow, this is such a blast from the past for me. I used to be really into following Fred Grizbowski and Team XPogo, but it looks like it was far bigger than I ever knew. I made a couple videos, too. I still have a Flybar 800 and Gravity Games Super Pogo out in the garage. I'm glad to see there are still people pushing this sport forward. (although you can't buy a Flybar 1200 or 800 anymore? what the heck?)

[@pandaco8127]

Yea where can be get some good quality pogo just for fun

[@ProductBasement]

@@pandaco8127 it looks like Flybar still sells pogo sticks, but they are pneumatic piston sticks now. You can still get the thrusters for the 800 and 1200, but no new thruster-based sticks

[@SpaghettiEnterprises]

@@ProductBasement what is a thruster based stick?

[@dustyyshellz1320]

Yes I recommended this!

[@MrGrimlocke]

me too lol

[@jamesclawson9243]

lol same

[@mrb400]

Love the mention of the Mile High era and the drama revolving around Xpogo. It was quite the time to be at Xpogo but I’m glad it’s over lol

[@RiverRockRecords]

I appreciate the way you use your channel. wish you uploaded some parkour once in a while tho

[@toenslamers]

agreed

[@nicanornunez9787]

I just find amazing how he comes with crazy sports, I mean after fusbol, he comes with pogo, and is usually flying to close to the sun, but now is okay... Thumbnail face, I mean he everytime delivers

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

I learn much worth a damn knowledge from these Unicycle thing was legendary

[@jumpingdifferent4968]

yeah i wish too

[@rosefamily2351]

Another great video diving into a sport some are completely unaware off but when witnessed are captivated by the high level of trick capability of these pogo sticks

[@andrewut7ya511]

I jumped on one of these extreme pogo sticks years ago , for about 1 minute... just a few big hops. the launch you get from these thangs is scarey. Landing is like the ultimate precision jump, the pad on the stick is tiny compared to a human body. The frontflips down gaps is the craziest to me.

[@gagewhitmore1219]

0:39 the front flip over the fence at the Hollywood 16 was insane

[@JayPfo]

hey man just went through ur entire back catalog love the vids and all the different subculture/extreme sports vids make sure not to burn yourself out this shit is awesome

[@RolandAshcroft]

I never heard about Xpogo until I saw them on braille, bouncing on pogo sticks looks very silly to me but mad respect to those who do these tricks on such a high level.

[@lawrencelimburger9160]

Loving these different sports! Episode suggestion, what happened to Soap shoes??

[@TurkishKS]

What I really appreciate about your videos, is how well-informed, organized, curated, and information-dense they are, while still being entertaining with such easy and charismatic delivery. So easy to watch, absorb, and enjoy. Really, really, really well done.

[@serhiirudenko6183]

Lol, I thought unicycling is a weird thing. THIS is waaaay weirder xD I like it)

[@moredown1303]

No one: JimmyTheGiant: let me show you this small extreme sport you never heard of.

[@thirdeyevision11]

I love it!

[@MattMcConaha]

I knew about Dan Brown quite a while ago (because he made a few rubik's cube videos way back when I was into that sort of thing) and never really made the connection that his username "pogobat" was actually due to the fact that he, like, helped invent the sport of extreme pogo.

[@shonenjumpmagneto]

The *'Impact Wrestling' - Scott Steiner VS Jeff Jarret* clip is insane. So happy about it. So happy you included it. Do a video on Pro Wrestling maybe!

[@user-zw3fv8yd8u]

even since you started these "wtf is..." videos, I knew one day you would do one of extreme pogo!

[@BiffHutchison]

Surreal to see this play out from the outside looking in

[@harrisoncaldwell4541]

No mention of the double back landed on Matt??????

[@BiffHutchison]

@@harrisoncaldwell4541 doesn’t count buddy

[@MatijsBabris]

Absolutely my favorite channel! Keep up the quality content! :)

[@Ex4_]

Awesome as usual! Maybe you could do a video about Freeride Mountainbiking? (Rampage and stuff)

[@geegee2109]

@2:25 I love the "hidden DMX needle-drop" Just enough to notice, but not enough to get demonized.. 👏 bravo sir

[@stevemeters3090]

Absolutely love the channel and the evolution of the videos. Plus, Jimmy got bars. Big up fam.

[@TheJunkernaut]

Thanks for making this video. I was at Pogopalooza 7-9, such a fun walk down nostalgia lane

[@06racing]

I was thinking about getting a pogo stick in like 2010. I am kinda sad I didn't.

[@eVhyRuss]

I watched so much of this channel recently that swear to god I had a real dream about Jimmy the giant last night. I was thanking him about me starting parkour again. When i woke up i looked up parkour meetups in my city. True story Cheers brud!!

[@ochowells]

Loving this wtf series

[@milesestes5258]

Really sick video! Love that your spreading information about smaller extreme sports! You should look into making a video about downhill longboarding. One hell of a sport!

[@oFLYINGYETIo]

“Your leg?” “No, my urethra” 😳

[@daventx]

I am loving this deep dive stuff from you.

[@pogonick55]

I love this sport and our people! Go pogo!

[@essicShorts]

You should 100% look into extreme wheelbarrowing. You’ll love it 😂

[@zaramakkink1850]

These videos are so well researched and presented that you have me, very much not a sports person, glued to the screen

[@filipw8050]

the x-treme era was a much simpler i time that i wish would come back.

[@stoneweasel]

I am loving your videos on the history of various free / extreme sports If you are looking for more sports . If you are looking for more sports that you might not have considered, Freestyle Kayaking is an interesting one (I was super into it back in the late 90s / early 2000s).

[@spiritualanarchist8162]

Seems a cool way to get to work fast while exercising .

[@eurosonly]

Those glasses make your eye balls look huge and I can't stop laughing at it lol.

[@joshgreen194]

You're an awesome creator, I appreciate you 👍

[@kamsvision]

"David armstorng" 😭😭

[@pauljamison8546]

i never knew i needed to know about xpogo... but having sat through the whole thing i guess i did. nice article, as usual.

[@MJK420]

I love that for his thumbnails he doesn't even have to make his eyes bigger lmao

[@jdlx4912music]

Yooo that thumbnail thoo... 🤣 Classic

[@x3mbr]

Scrooge McDuck on the NES DuckTales game: *Furiously takes notes*

[@ChristianSchu]

Great video! Now I can share the sport’s backstory with someone who’s interested. I have a Vurtego V4 Pro and I’m sure that I will get questions when I take it out on the streets. I love it! It’s mad fun.

[@pogobat]

I love this! As the Dan Brown referenced at 4:56, let me go on the record saying that Joe Verzal is the truest closest thing to the founder of extreme pogo sticking. It's hard to find documentation of his early stuff so I understand the oversight, but if you check out the "Illinois Pogo Crew" video from I believe 2003 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIuUZIdjmtCMo9U), you can tell that "Joe" is the most experienced of the bunch. He'd already been at it for years at that point.

[@taborsatya7094]

I love these videos you should do history of extreme scooter riding next

[@spoobini]

I remember the first thing that sparked my pogo interest was seeing "The Unbeatable Banzuke" i got pretty good until i put my teeth through my bottom mouth against my concrete basement, i still keep the scar. Much to my chagrin, I saved up my allowance grinding out chores in order to afford a Razor Bowgo. After that thing broke like 8 times i just wasnt able to fix it anymore, unfortunately that took about a week, i havent really done any sticking since and it seems like something odd to get into as an adult.

[@caffeineau]

Regarding that world record; I got a pogo stick for christmas when I was a kid in the early 90's, I also got the guiness world record book. I misread the record as either 1700 or 17000 (Can't remember which) but it seemed attainable on my new christmas present. Well after 15 or so minutes, my excessive bouncing had heated and softened the cheap, thin steel of this stick so much it bent in half :(

[@lillebror529]

these videos are dope!!! love your mini documentaries

[@livingon2wheels]

Great content, Jimmy!

[@rayrayravioli4250]

I have a sudden urge to buy a pogo stick now

[@Haha-wi4js]

yo that was dope real inspiring how u explain shit and show your perspective without a doubt it would be sick to have a stevo video

[@parkour4pros186]

Man I love your content

[@thomson765]

No fucking idea why KZbin served me this, but I’m enjoying it.

[@duncanpogo]

Great video!

[@ChiefGore429]

"Will Weiner" lol.... classic

[@BearR09]

This format is amazing! Can we get mtb or snowboarding? Keep up the banging content

[@tonybeatbutcher]

Wishlist of topics: Turntablism and Finger Drumming

[@fartingfury]

Great video, thanks! 🙂 (PS - I'm glad you dropped the Jimmy score).

[@jameshession9038]

Loved the video, cheers Jimmy 👍

[@froggman66]

I’m just waiting for someone to clear the Leon 25 with a pogo stick lmao

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

It at first seems silly, but the more you watch, the more fun it looks. It would be a blast to fuck around on a pogo on steroids

[@DatBoiAntix]

Did you already do a video on extreme sitting aka sporthocker?

[@qwertyTRiG]

If he's taking requests, I'll put one in for fierljeppen.

[@deppyc3299]

Hello Jimmy! Recently I've been glued to the screen watching your videos and I'm here to give some constructive criticism. Your videos are wonderful and I really love, but please never change the way you make content. I love how diverse your videos are, really man! I just watched your roller skates video and now I've found this documentary of pogo history. This is absolutely awesome and it separates you from every other youtuber. If you keep pumping our incredibly interesting stuff and keep up the diversity, you're bound to make it big! I think in a few months you could probably achieve 200k subscribers easily! Thank you for such interesting content Mr. Jimmy!

[@PhilEdwardsInc]

BOUNCY BOYS

[@abdu3947]

i love the new variety of videos. keep it up!

[@TheeChrisM]

Great video, well researched, good call dropping the score thing

[@juckyvortex]

Damm, some of these tricks just loock so stylish.

[@dongamble2092]

I met the guys at the toronto expo yrs back. I got picked out of the crowd to hold a rope over my head and the record holder for back flips did a back flip over the rope … my son loved it haha

[@barrybofkont4332]

Please make another rollerblade video

[@SugoiShakka]

Steve-O video...? Yes plz! Also loved this video!! Look forward to your new vid each week!

[@DavidJSWayne]

It would be so epic if we could have a steve-o video thanks for another sick vid bro!

[@neginesuke]

I had to pause when you mentioned ESPN 8 The Ocho. I wasn't sure if it was a joke, then I looked it up. I'm laughing and loving that unheard of games are being showcased. I would certainly say it would be interesting to hear your take on some of the other sports they have mentioned in their special.

[@mamaharumi]

12:54 came out of nowhere lmfao

[@chimmichurri6940]

I genuinely respect those people doing those insane tricks, however, i legit cant take extreme pogo seriously. i feel conflicted about it

[@usecodemango]

gotta love the kendama reference

[@najo7511]

How do you call someone who does pogo? Poger, pogger?

[@sleepdealer1925]

A pegger

[@drewsclues5394]

Many of those David Armstrong clips were recorded at Snow College where I'm at right now!

[@stevenniedermann3114]

Way back in the day my uncle and another engineer submitted a gas powered pogo stick to wham-o that they decided to develop. But sadly it got axed because testers were getting injured by catching way to much air or getting struck in the face. Problem was it has a twist throttle like a motorcycle and upon landing it would get inherently wide open throttle with the obvious reaction. Not sure if any of those prototypes still exist but they would be the holy grail of pogo history.

[@Koogon]

no mention of Dan Mhaoney! I loved that guy when I was learning to pogo. Used to own a Vurtego and could do under leg bar spins. I ended up breaking my leg and getting rid of it lmao.

[@Bobby_Uterus]

My brother and I were doing this as a joke in the early 90’s when we were riding bmx. We had a old pogo stick from the 50’s and would do all sorts of stupid stuff on it.

[@nerdsteeze1266]

This was great !

[@Simon-T.]

You're the only person I know who pronounces forum like that but in all seriousness another great video, opening my eyes to another sport I had no real idea of.

[@ElvenFruitcake]

Yesss! Do a Steve-O video pleaseee!

[@vilmerniklasson3609]

I love these cind of videos

[@ROCKETKOBE]

This channel speaks to me

[@the1player636]

steve-o video please. That'd be awesome. On that note, a video on skateboard culture in general, I'd love to see your thoughts on it. I've realized you use the popularity of skateboarding as the benchmark for other fringe sports. I think that's interesting

[@pogofred]

My life from an outside perspective. 👍

[@schirmcharmemelone]

STEVEO ! Write him. I think with his recent KZbin endeavour he would totally be down. Would also love to see his reactions to some Parcour clips of your choosing.

[@Werevertumoto]

Wondering if I can use a pogo stick as a daily transportation device...

[@m42ic19]

now i wanna see pogo sticks in the xgames

[@jeremynewell2541]

Judging by the thumbnail this looks like a sport based on how close can I get to sacking myself so hard I fly to the lower atmosphere

[@dawoodjacobs3343]

Please can u do a video on downhill longboarding

[@ishaaqmartin3564]

God bless you. I love your content. Your style of storytelling is so smooth you have these hard segues you deliver with such style that they go down so smooth. A humble request. Can you please video your Riders Republic streams? I really wanna watch but I can't always catch them live or watch the whole thing and I'd love to be able to come back to them. I would be so grateful. But I'm also aware that you have a lot on your plate and that might not be a possibility. *edited for grammer.

[@JimmyTheGiant]

Thank you what a compliment :) I will start streaming more regularly soon and I'm gonna start a second channel for clips / saved streams

[@thatbritishguy577]

make a steve o video. But also love discovering these sports and subcultures thanks for making these

[@kennymello302]

Steveo vid would be sick!

[@Nicksonabike]

Great video you should look into and do a video about downhill skateboarding
