“Signature Series” Pogo Sticks Coming Soon!


After an incredibly long wait, Earl Pote’s Signature Series Tech Sticks are finally making a return! The old supplier of the custom springs went out of business, and finding a new supplier that can make a spring like this was not an easy task. Earl received a shipment today of prototype springs, and they passed the test. We are happy to announce that the sticks are returning for sale within a few weeks with a new supply of springs! Check out details below about the brand new 2021 Signature Series Sticks.


The handlebars are entirely wrapped with foam and tape for the most comfortable and versatile grip possible. The center where the two handlebars meet is tightly wrapped with gorilla tape then topped with hockey tape to prevent it from ever becoming loose.

Each frame is hand signed by Earl Pote after being built and a piece of clear tape is placed over the signature to protect it from smearing off.

The Signature Series comes with a special spring that was designed to outperform a standard Super Pogo spring, an original Gravity Games spring, and virtually any steel spring ever placed in a pogo stick. -> (Read More) ->

AllPogo Jumper of the Year 2020!


We at AllPogo decided a few months ago to start doing a yearly Jumper of the Year award, and give it to the one we think deserves it the most. Were kicking it off in 2020, and this year it was an easy decision. When the topic was brought up, we all unanimously decided without hesitation that the Jumper of the Year award belonged to none other than Tone Staubs.

Tone has been absolutely killing it this year. He has been releasing consistent content on social media as well as pushing the sport forward by innovating his own unique style. Tone has always been known as a well rounded jumper, being able to throw down hard at both Tech and Big Air (both flat and street). In recent years Tone has taken it a step further and has been taking the grind game to an entirely new level that the sport has never seen.

Congratulations Tone on earning the very first AllPogo Jumper of the Year award! You deserve it!

Background Check: Russ Kaus


Russ Kaus is a powerhouse of a pogoer that emerged in the scene in the late 2000’s, and has been pushing the sport ever since. Russ is well known for his “Go Big” attitude and riding style, and has recently landed one of the biggest tricks in the history of pogo at Pogopalooza 2020: the Double Stickflip. Check out our interview with Russ below, and make sure to watch Russ’s edit he put together of the history of the Stickflip, located at the bottom of the article!


AllPogo: What year did you start pogoing, and how old were you?

Russ: I started bouncing when I was 13 or 14 around 2007, but I just learned how to bounce. I tried 180 barspin and twisted my ankle so I assumed it was impossible. I knew nothing of Xpogo or any other riders.

AllPogo: How did you discover the sport?

Russ: I saw a news thing on CNN of Brian Spencer cruising around LA on a Vurtego. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and since I just learned how to bounce it was perfect timing. -> (Read More) ->

AllPogo Community Video Project – Now Accepting Clips!



Our original goal at AllPogo was to support our sport’s small but growing community in any way we could. In our next effort to bring the community together, we are planning to put together a community edit, featuring user-submitted clips. Check out more details below!

  • There is a one clip minimum, but we are asking everyone who submits a clip to ALSO submit a standalone clip of them doing an ULBS under your right leg as well, if possible. It’s not required, but would be nice! Right leg may be switch for some riders, so we understand if that’s not something you can land. Send in clips anyways! 
  • Submissions are open to anyone who is interested, and there is no limit to how many clips you can send in. The more, the better!
  • Any trick is allowed, and any style of riding as well. In fact, we would love to feature the entire spectrum pogoing offers, so we prefer a lot of different styles; Big Air, Street, Tech, Grinds or Flips, anything you want. Use any pogo stick.

In an effort to keep new content flowing and help spread the community videos that keep this sport going, we are going to start featuring new edits from members of our community. To kick it off, none other than Tone Staubs. Tone has been changing the game a lot over the years, but this has never been more prevalent. For the month of May, or #PogoAllMay, Tone went out and filmed like crazy, and he put together this insane new web edit with all of the footage. Tone is inventing new grinds and stringing together crazy grind-street lines, and still throwing some insane big air tricks. Check it out!
