a blast from the past. Walking by the closed charity shop, I saw the pogo stick in the window. I can't remember the last time I saw one, it must be in the 60s.. I had one as a kid and remember using it a few times. I did a google search and was shocked how much this model goes for these day, €54. I'll pass and leave it for some small kid. :)
Gosh I forgot all about those sticks. A little expensive these days.
ReplyDeleteHi Bill.
ReplyDeleteYou had to have a good sense of balance for that.
Greetings from Patricia.
Indeed a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteYes I can remember indeed, have never tried one myself....
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess there are more dangerous toys, but this one seemed to be one just asking for trouble.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little more hi-tech than I remember, but I fell off them back then so I'll not be trying them now.
ReplyDeleteDefinition of a nun on a pogo stick - Hopalong Chastity!
ReplyDelete...that one sure is jazzy!
ReplyDeleteHaha... it must be fun using it but should be dangerous without practice.
ReplyDeleteSweet memories for me... and sweet jumping when I was a kid.
ReplyDelete:-)) I did not use that before but price is really interesting:-))
ReplyDeleteWise decision my friend. No reason to invite an osteo incident.
ReplyDeleteQuite retro.
ReplyDeleteNot something I enjoyed when visiting someone who had one. Of course just trying it out maybe I wasn't very good at it.
ReplyDeleteWise decision to leave the Pogo stick to someone young and agile. Suspect they are always a crash waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteYup don't think I have seen one since the 80s maybe lol!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, that’s a lot!
ReplyDeleteThe pogo-sticks here in Holland go up to 50 kg. I guess that's not suitable for you ....
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I've seen one of those. What a great find.
ReplyDeleteI have seen them here about 10 years ago. Now it's all skate boards and scooters.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember having one when I was young. I was a bike, skateboard, roller/ice skates kid.
ReplyDeleteI never did very well on those!
ReplyDeleteI kept falling off.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
No recuerdo haber visto este tipo de saltador.
ReplyDeleteA+
I had a pogo stick when I was a kid too. So much fun. Would be fun to give it a try again. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those in ages.
ReplyDelete❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteWe don't have it in India.
ReplyDeleteUy lindo juguete te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteI never had one of those but I remember them being lots of fun
ReplyDeletenice memory....
ReplyDeleteI never use it.....
It looks a lot more upmarket than the pogo sticks I remember Bill 😉
ReplyDeleteI never could get the hang of this thing.
ReplyDeleteJust yes
ReplyDeletethis one I remembered as a child

I was never too good on them ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
