Sure the spacehopper seems the safer option but does anyone ever build up enough momentum on a pogo stick to do themselves any damage? Isn’t it more ‘foot up, hop, foot off’ repeat….?

These are the musings of my brain today.

Pogo stick for sure. Especially those extreme type ones.

Which reminds me, I’d love a pair of those powerizers or whatever they are called.

Maybe it’s just me then but you can build up a real head of steam on a space hopper. Before you know it your momentum has taken over, you’re tumbling through the grass, legs akimbo, nose planting into the ground a high speed.

but id think if u flew off you’d just roll out and it’d be even more fun than bouncing normally

I’m not so sure.

Say your space hopper had been filled with methane gas and a hoodie shot his gun at it when you were hopping your way to work one morning. The results would he catasrophic :ar15:

No need to worry about that mate, most of the mines out there are usually strapped to somebodies waist, so just be sure not to bump into anyone.

Spacehoppers come with pumps, they are definitely the easier of the 2 to travel with. You’d probably have to pay extra to take a pogo stick on a plane.

Plus it has the added value of acting as a secondary life jacket if the plane goes down in the water
