How to Do Pogo Tricks

Pogo sticks users stand on the toy's two pegs, hold onto it's handle bars and jump up and down on the stick's lone leg. The leg of the pogo stick is attaches to a spring, which is compressed when the jumper lands, allowing a jumper to reach greater heights on the pogo stick than by simply jumping on two feet. Pogo stick users perform a variety of tricks while riding.
