Jonathan Mauterer

How I got started: Me and my friend were out to invent a new sport. It went from chair hopping to horshoeing and eventually to Extreme pogoing. We thought we were the shiz... until I found this site of course*

My tricks: No handed "stutter", foot plant impossible, kick out foot plant, working on 180 tuck.

Favorite trick: Under the leg bar spin.

Best pogo day: Thursday, July 01, 2004 I got my second foam master. I went to a shopping center a few minutes from Toys R' Us. I made a video. It was great. I got my first experience of heaven. After all that fun, I was bouncing around in a parking lot by my house, I started doing big air tricks(big master air). I landed most of them so I got bored. I went on to my more wanted trick, the under the leg bar spin. I tried and tried, but I could not get my feet to go towards the pedals. After about 23 falls. I sat down took a sip of Mountain Dew, and was back at it. In about 5 more tries, I felt that the next would be it. It had started to rain a bit, so I knew it had to be then. I leaned my head upon my pogo and told my self "You have to land this!" then I prayed... and sure enough, the very next time I tryed it BOOM BANG SWISH KAPOW!!! I landed it! I was so happy, I let out the loudest yell I could, I had just stomped the trick that had destroyed my hopes all week.
