Years ago when I was much younger than I am now, I remember trying out a pogo stick many times. I used to have one myself and my friends had pogo sticks as well and we used to play games of who could stay on their pogo stick the longest, and who could travel the furthest on their pogo stick. 

I fear if I was to use one now, I would probably spend more time on the floor LOL

I’ve tried using a pogo stick a few times in the past, but I’m not that good at it.

Same here - I've been riding motorcycles since I was about 12-13 and I think a Pogo stick is very dangerous. I've done Bungee jumping and would rather do that again than get on a Pogo stick.

I tried it when I was a kid. Every time I would end up on my face, or if I was lucky, my ass. I could never get the hang of it. I rode an 81 Honda before it got stolen. Even if I still possessed the ability, I wouldn't get on a pogo stick again.

For the life of me, I just can't figure out why I'd rather do almost anything else than get on Pogo Stick. It's probably the time where I saw a friend tried to pull off a stunt on it only for the handlebar to hit him in the nuts. For a couple of days, he sounded like he'd been castrated and had a hard time closing his legs.
