User Submitted Flybar Foam Master Pogo Stick (Black/Yellow) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-09-22 Foam Master Pogo stick review I got this stick for my 80 lb., 9-year-old son. It was a little stiff for him due to his being right at the low end of the recommended weight range, and he had trouble with it at first. It didn't spring enough. But that wasn't the stick, just his weight in relation to the spring tension. After a day or two he got to bouncing on it and learned to bounce higher and come down more forcefully, and since then he's had no trouble with it. He bounced 300 times the other day without falling. This thing about the bumper coming out and people getting hurt -- if you were bouncing on a slick surface and the bumper came out, and you didn't notice the change in the sound and feel of the pogo stick, I suppose a person could fall and get hurt. It's a shame that one child (in a previous review) took a bad fall. But we haven't had anything like that happen. The bumper on the old stick came out twice (it was a cheaper version of this stick) but the kids just shoved the bumper back in place and that was it. The bumper on this one came out once, but we noticed immediately and this time I put a little silicone cement on the end before my son put it back in. After that it never came out. You could also drill a small hole and put a set-screw in. It's just like the eraser in the end of a pencil. There are probably a half-dozen very simple solutions the average person could come up with to keep the bumper in. Why the factory doesn't use one, I don't know. Overall I think it's a great stick for the money, if you're buying for a child and it's just for fun. Date: 2007-08-11 awsome I have used many pogo sticks in my time, I am a 37 year old female (yes i bought it for myself), and this pogo has bounce. I was very impressed with the quality. There isnt anything negative I can say about this product. The shipping was the fastest I have ever seen. highly recommended Date: 2007-07-14 Great birthday gift I purchased this as a birthday gift for my 11 year old nephew, and he is having a blast with it. He had enjoyed playing with a pogo stick at school, and I had heard positive remarks about the flybar, so I chose this for him. He quickly mastered it, and it's a great incentive to actually play outside! Date: 2007-06-21 A ok Begining POGO After breaking my one of these pogos i got another one. the rubber tip wore off and the tip broke off (I still ride it). after having it for about a year and a half it is starting to fall apart. If this is your first pogo and you just wand to jump up and down in place go ahead it is the perfect pogo for you! but if you will be jumping off stuff ,doing tricks and moving it will break, I would sugjest a Flybar or check out Xpogo.com for revews. P.S. I am 85 pounds and it works great (in fact the pedals go down to the tip when i jump! P.S. You can't get over 1foot of air (unlike flybar) Date: 2007-03-28 Great Customer Service My sons both have a fly bar. We have an issue with both. When calling customer service, I received the best service ever. They are replacing one and sending new parts for the other at no charge. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
