Stunt Pogo

Extreme Pogo or Xpogo is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks on extreme pogo sticks, defined as such by their durability and potential for height. Today’s Xpogo sticks have the potential for over 10 ft. of height (measured from the ground to the bottom of the tip). Extreme pogo is a relatively new extreme sport and is currently emerging into popular culture as evidenced by the growing number of Xpogo athletes around the globe, growing sales from extreme pogo companies, the popularity of Xpogo athlete exhibition teams, positive feedback and continued interest in Xpogo content on sites such as YouTube, and the expanding scope of the annual World Championships of Xpogo, Pogopalooza.

One of the most recent indicators of Xpogo's growth is evidenced by a dedicated Xpogo commercial run by Nike during the 2012 London Olympics. The vast majority of Xpogo athletes are male and between the ages of 10-25.

Famous quotes containing the word pogo:

    My breast waited
    shy as a clam
    until you came,
    Mr. Firecracker,
    Mr. Panzer-man.
    You with your pogo stick ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
