Vurtego V3 Pro Pogo Stick

Ok, be honest with yourself. You're reading these reviews, you already know you want one. Just submit to the inevitable and buy one now and then come finish the rest of this review. I'll admit that I've only had mine a few days, but the thing is built like a tank. I am notorious for over-engineering projects around the house. I know what I was like as a kid and how I would break the strongest of things. This thing is so over-engineered it's almost a work of art. I'm 41 and roughly 200lbs. If I am going to jump on a pogo stick, I want it to be as seriously beefy as I can get it. This thing fits the bill for me perfectly. I received it as a birthday gift from my wife a couple days ago and I just ordered one for her because she was jealous and thought it looked like fun. This really is pogo-ing as it was meant to be. I am not 17 and I will not ever be doing any 180 backflips on the thing, but that won't stop me from trying to learn some tricks. Although, I can hardly wait until my kids are old enough that I can get one for them and see what they'll be able to do. With less than one hour on it I could hop one handed with either hand. Still struggling with taking a foot off and putting it back while airborne, I think I just need to jump higher. Hopping one footed wasn't all that difficult to pick up, though. At least at low altitudes. And if you're looking for a work out, shazbot! It'll get your heart pumping in no time. Talk about a core work out to boot. I don't actually feel like I'm doing much work, but after a couple of minutes I am breathing hard and my heart is going strong. I am thinking 20 minutes of this and then hit the trails on my mountain bike or unicycle for an hour and I will be in great shape in no time. If you are looking for something to dislike in all this, it's that there isn't enough time in the day to use it more. So, if you haven't ordered yet, just surrender now and do it because if you've made it this far through this review it's only a matter of time before you order one, or maybe two. Seriously. Now. Go and press the add to cart button. You're still reading. Why? Buy, hop, jump, live!

The first time I seen the Vurtego was in a music video and that sent me on a search for a man sized pogo stick! I found two different manufacturers and then I started hunting details, videos, manufacturing process, weight limits and so on. I was lead to a review on Amazon about a man close to 300 lbs who had bought one. I found in that Review that size didn't seem to matter which is good as I am 6' tall and 275 lbs. Check this video out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij0skBcdFY8 .Something you need to pay attention to is that size chart. GET THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOU. Go here for size chart http://www.vurtegopogo.com/size-chart/ . To make a long story short I am having a blast on the Vurtego and will be working to do some tricks on it at some point but for now I am using it to build some cardio and lose some weight and let me tell you this will get the heart rate up and the sweat pouring!! So just go ahead and hit the "BUY" button...you know you want to and you know all of your friends will be jealous when you show up on a MAN SIZED pogo stick!!

This review is for the Medium Vurtego V3. I weight about 195 pounds and am 5'11". This pogo is excellent. Unlike a snowboard or other extreme sports equipment this stick is adaptable. Yes you need a bike pump (American connection, not European) to do so though. The construction quality is excellent, barely scratches when I drop it off a bad jump. Took me a day or so to learn how to use it, but all my friends who tried it got it within the first hour. My only concern is the longevity of the lubrication in the tube and the dust accumulation which can lessen the jumping ability of the pogo over time. I also see alot of the pros use grip tape on the pegs. I don't use any, but would probably recommend these as certain shoes can slip off without it on large jumps. Most of all though this thing is just plain fun. Wear a helmet and maybe even a mouthguard.

Review from an 11 yr old pogo enthusiast - my son...the Vertigo is the most extreme pogo stick ever. I used to have a cheap Razor. I think It was a waste of plastic after I used the Vertigo. I also think It is really cool that you can do back flips and a lot of other tricks on the Vertigo.It takes a little time to learn how to pogo on it. But that is because it is a monster pogo. I only have one complaint, It takes time to get the right amount of air pressure but once I got the pressure just right It felt awesome. The Vertigo is also very solid, high quality and it’s made in the U.S..There is no plastic on this whatsoever. It is also really durable. It is so solid that you could drive a pick up over it and the pogo would be fine.

Obviously you are a grown human or sasquatch looking for a pogo stick, Save yourself any more wasted time by just placing the order on this pogo stick. It is built to what I would call industrial standards. I could see Bigfoot enjoying the Vutego V3 as well any person willing to join the addiction / revolution. I am 5'9 and the medium is perfect. From what I have seen a 300 pounder can bounce happily on this Beast. It seems expensive at first glance when you look at the price but after you receive the box you will forever be happy with your purchase. I am seriously thinking about buying 20 more and starting a group fitness program. It makes getting your heart rate up a blast, what a fun workout!

This is not your granddad’s pogo stick!The stick is well packaged and promptly shipped, and the instructions are clear and thorough without being too long, which is a nice contrast to the usual badly translated Krang-speak with 14 pages of safety disclaimers. You'll need a source of compressed air to set the stick up, so, if you don't have a compressor, you'll likely need to head to your local filling station.I'm a full-grown old guy -- over 50 years and 200 lbs, and am still learning how to use this stick, but so far at least, it's a gas! Also, it's really a pretty intense aerobic workout. Definitely a lot of fun, and a nice way to mix things up.
