The spring stilt had springs on each foot so a person could jump high and far. It was patented in 1891. The Germans got a hold of the idea in 1920. They switched it from 2 stilts to just one and BOING! the modern pogo stick was here.

There have been design changes over the years. For me, I was always to fat to play with it, so I could care less about it. But then Xpogo was invented. It's what happens when X-treme sports guys get bored. So now we have people pogoing over, well, anything they damn well want to.

The lads from Dude Perfect took a break from their usual shenanigans to try their hand at the pogo stick.
