Flybar is one seriously juiced up pogo stick

flybar_alt.jpgRegular pogo sticks are fun, I guess, but they don't bounce you up all that high. The Flybar, on the other hand, makes pogo sticks a bit more extreme.

Think of the Flybar as a pogo stick on steroids. It launches you far, far higher in the air than the stick you had as a kid, allowing you to hop right over cars and do all sorts of various acrobatic stunts. It does this using some seriously strong elastic bands known as rubber thrusters that increase the maximum bounce height to a whopping seven feet six inches. You can snag a Flybar of your own for a whopping $320.

Holy smokes, this is the stupidest thing since rollerblades and fanny packs.... Parents buy your kids one of these if you want them to have no friends and get beat up constantly!

What are you talking about? Being able to jump up to seven and a half feet with a toy isn't cool? You must of had a depressing life back in the day cause I'm pretty sure anybody who has one of these has got it made.

Another sad waste of innovation. Thrill seekers are such self absorbed idiots.
