The Motostik is a historic pogo stick that emerged in 2004, the same year as the Flybar 1200, and was used primarily by many riders in the mid 2000’s. The Flybar 1200 was the very first “Big Air” pogo stick that was released into the market, and the Motostik was almost like a hybrid between a Tech stick and a Big Air stick. A lot of pogoers then were obviously still used to jumping on spring pogo sticks, so the Motostik was a great transition stick into Big Air. We at AllPogo happened to snag an interview with Marc Matson, the mastermind behind the Motostik – a pogo stick that helped propel not only some of the greats of pogo forward, but the sport itself.
AllPogo:
What is your history with motocross as far as racing, freestyle, etc.
Marc:
I started racing motocross around 1980… and I still am. I never was really good, but I always brought two pretty girls with me, so I ended up hanging out with a couple brand-name moto guys. -> (Read More) ->

Earl Pote Signature Series Pogo Sticks are now live and in stock on our website! We even have super limited stock of GG Signature Series Pogo Sticks, the stick that started it all, beefed up with all the latest modifications. Check out the video below to see the stick in action, and catch more info after the jump.
“Earl Pote 2018,” a video that showcases what is possible on the Signature Series.
The Gravity Games (GG) is an iconic pogo stick from the golden years of the sport. With “extreme pogo” being established in 1999, the GG was the first pogo stick ever built for “extreme” use in 2001 by SBI Enterprises (now known as Flybar). It ended production in 2002, which makes it a rare collectible to come by. The Signature Series GG is a beefed up original GG that has all of the same modifications of the regular Signature Series, But with all original GG parts (minus the pegs which were prone to flexing and wearing out over time). -> (Read More) ->
I’m sure you already know what day it is today. A truly special day. That’s right, it is officially only ten days until the beginning of #PogoAllMay. If you are new to the sport, this tradition has been a few years running and always brings out the craziest pogo content from even the far reaches of the community.
For some reason, I have a feeling the month of May will be even more insane for the sport of pogoing than the last few years. Keep your eyes open for more information, including the Xpogo bingo card, and make sure to follow the hashtag on Instagram to catch every bit of new pogo footage!
