	Welcome to a "sneak peek" article from the March edition of the Pneumatics Now newsletter from GlobalSpec. Add stunt pogo to the extreme sport line-up. New versions of the classic pogo stick - based on a variety of technologies including pneumatic, spring, and elastomeric - allow jump heights to 6 feet and more. Take a look at products and watch video action of the different pogos below: Pogo products Link for Video Would you like to see more? Click here to view past issues of Pneumatics Now.

	Agreed. The regular kid kinds are tough enough to stay on. Bouncing on one that gets 6 feet off the ground is asking for trouble. They remind me of Exerlopers, which I've always wanted to buy.

	I know we engineers tend to be risk averse, but c'mon these look like fun. __________________ Just like regular Elvis...only smaller.

	I'd rather bounce on a pogostick then jump off a bridge with a rubber band on my ankle. Still, it does look like fun, I doubt that it will become as mainstream as skateboarding, but the fringes will always find their new toys. __________________ "The future is here.
