I am 15 years old and am a diver with my highschool and do pro scootering in my free time, so i have some experience with tricks. So I watched the Pogo GoPro vid on youtube.
Would Pogo be right for me? (115 pounds, 5' 11")
If so, what stick would be best for me?
Hey man, nice to see that video inspired some new people (Nice job Nick!)
There are 3 types of sticks that people ride, mostly. There's the Vurtego, Flybar, and then the GG. Depending on what type of jumping you want to do. Vurtego and Flybar are for high jumping and big air tricks, GG is a low-air tech stick.
Most people here will agree that the Vurtego is more durable, easier to take care of, and generally a good stick. It is powered by air compression. The Flybar is powered by rubber bands. It usually has a smoother, slower bounce, but the rubber bands are notorious for breaking every couple minutes... So many people ditched the Flybar. haha.
Both sticks will support your weight, and are adjustable if you want someone else to try the stick.
Hey, I'm a diver too! The experience with flips, balance, coordination etc. really help with pogoing. You should definitely try it!
i feel honored to have a clip in that video... even if its only one clip
You've got two clips... of the same trick, but they're still two clips, haha. Better than Earl's one.
Reece, Ryan pretty much covered everything perfectly. (just to pretend to still be on topic)
