I bought this pogo stick with money from my fifteenth birthday, I instantly took it outside and bounced up a storm, fun-fun-fun. The second day though I used it to the point where friction made the glue holding the rubber stopper harden and the stopper fell out, luckily there's Gorilla Glue. Whether or not you've heard that you'll bang your knees up on this, you will, but only for about a week. my bruises were about five inches in diameter. Also, the foam grips will probably needs some sort of customizing, mine slide back and forth a little, and if your stick falls when the grips are off the edge a little they rip some. With all the negative things said first, this is a great pogo stick to get, it's the cheapest of the high end ones and the only with a spring. Another thing you may or may not have read about is the stiffness, I'm about one-hundred twenty-five pounds, the minimum recommended weight and I still clear two feet easy. As a workout you might find it hard aerobicly to bounce for a long time, during the summer after about twenty minutes I'll be sweating profoundly. The last thing I learned that I'll share is that if your buying this to get started in Xpogo like I was, don't expect to be doing tricks right away, it is hard I had experience from a Pogo Roo and there is a lot of balancing, manipulation, and skill involved, so you'll need to build up your strength/ability before you can pull off that 'Under the Leg Bar Spin 180 into a Body Wrap Reverse Stall'. Anyway, I hope you enjoy if you choose to buy this.
I know I'm going to finally lose the extra pounds!!!! This is fun! June 17, 2007

I received the Super Pogo 1505 a few days ago. I am a 46 year old female. This pogo stick is great, especially if you're heavy. I was surprised to learn that I could still Pogo after 30+ years since my last pogo experience. I even got my whole family to try it---including my 67 year old Mom! My competitive spirit was revived after seeing that I could still jump like my childhood days. This is just what I needed to get me off the couch and exercising. The only negative I have to say about it is the knee area bruising, but I didn't even notice it until I quit.
Get it! If you were a pogo junkie like I was when I was a child, you'll love it!

I purchased this for my son - he's 12. This is an excellent pogo stick - recommended for adults, but good for his age if you're an experienced pogo jumper. Very heavy-duty, with a very high jumping capacity.

I'm 43 and this is nothing like the weak pogo stick my little brother had when I was a kid. I surprised everyone in the family (even myself) when I ordered it. When it arrived, I discovered I had the Gravity Games version, which I think looks better because it isn't red. It was fully assembled, too. The spring was so stiff, I was afraid to get on it at first but I took it to my little brother's house and we had a blast with it. You won't catch me doing any extreme tricks at my age, but it's plenty fun just to bounce around and try to stay bouncing. Indoors, I use it as an exerciser by just trying to balance on it. It's quite a workout. Don't let the stiff spring intimidate you, once you start bouncing, you will appreciate it. I've already had so much fun with this pogo stick, it paid for itself on the first day. (The looks on people's faces when they see a grown man bouncing on a pogo stick make it even more fun.) It is well constructed and I expect it to last a long time. But like I said, I won't be doing any extreme tricks with it. If you try hard enough, you can break just about anything. If you get too crazy with it or don't pay attention to what you are doing, you can hurt yourself too. I get enough of a rush just taking it easy.

I received mine few days ago and my first impression --> very very heavy and too long (won't fit the back of mini cooper) but it seems very very very durable :)
I'm 177 pounds and I feel that the spring are way too hard that it might be more suitable for 190 pounds and above. I wish theres a way to adjust the spring.
My other complain is... it makes too much noise !! any suggestion on kind of oil or spray to use ? Thanks :) I really wish I got the kiddie version ones so I can also use it in my bedroom.
