A New Bouncing Toy for Adults
Do you ever long for the days of your childhood, when you could play on the swings, or see-saw high in the air without reserve? Well, pogo manufacturers SBI Enterprises, along with pro skateboarder Andy MacDonald, aim to bring back that youthful feeling with the ultimate street toy: The Flybar 1200.
The Flybar is a pogo stick for adults who want to relive the thrill of the bounce, but are too big for the models sold at Toys 'R Us. What makes this contraption so great? The Flybar comes equipped with 12 separate thrusters, which allow you to control the variability of the spring and the height of your bounces. Anyone from 80 to 250 lbs. can pogo with this stick, with a maximum jump height of 5 feet! With this extension, the creativity potential - on what was once a very simple toy - is extremely high.
The only setback is the cost. While the product isn't being officially released until September 15th, you can pre-order it at Amazon.com for a whopping $299.99. Go gadget hounds go!
