Xpogo just released the dates and info for Pogopalooza 2020! The event will be held on July 25th & 26th, at the Xpogo HQ in Wilkinsburg, PA. In order to keep everyone safe, this will be a distanced-palooza with a limited number of people. More details on what that means for attending and viewing coming soon. Make sure to follow Xpogo for more infomation as it is released.
Well, it’s that time of year again. Every year in the month of May, Pogoers take to the streets and driveways to throwdown a new clip or photo every day, or at least as many days as possible, for the whole month of May. Head on over to Instagram, where the majority of the action takes place. Just follow the hashtag #PogoAllMay to be sure to see all the good stuff! If you are a pogoer, grab your pogo stick and get out there and film. Bails, unsuccessful trick attempts, basically anything goes for #PogoAllMay, as long as you are out there boucing. We hope to see some clips from you all!
A pogo love story by Michael Brookhart
I’ve been pogoing for a long time. Not that long compared to most people in the extreme pogo community… but like the majority of us it has now overtaken more than half of my life and nearly all of my recent and distant memories. I’ve always considered pogoing to be my one and only. My one and only addiction. I would put pogoing in front of everything in my life. My schooling, my work, and my relationships all seemed to be afterthought because I would wake up every day wondering what would come next for me and the spring frame with pegs sitting in my trunk. It has taken me places I would never have imagined myself going and has truly made me the person I am today. Like any addiction though, it is imperative to know when to stop yourself.
Last June I had surgery. The surgery was thankfully not for any pogo related injury, but for the paraganglioma tumor sitting on my corroded artery. I was the most unprepared I have ever been walking into the James Hospital in Columbus. -> (Read More) ->
We are so stoked to finally release our newest film, History Of A Handrail, that we decided to stream it to you all exclusively here on our website a week early!
The video tells the story of one of the most well-known pogo spots to date, the Vendetta Handrail in Bradenton, FL. We put a lot of work into sourcing clips for this project, and have even uncovered lost footage from over ten years ago. We hope you all enjoy our film, History Of A Handrail. Check it out below!
After months of hype and stress behind the scenes, we are finally gearing up for the official release of our newest film, History Of A Handrail. The 18 minute film will tell the story of one of pogoing’s most well-known spots, the Vendetta Handrail in Bradenton, Florida. It will be narrated by none other than Taylor Blaylock, the first pogoer to attempt said handrail over ten years ago. Check out the trailer above if you haven’t already.
Dalton Smith is often looked at as one of the most creative and innovative pogoers in the world, and his 5 consecutive Pogopalooza Gold Medals prove it. Dalton is known mainly for his incredibly technical Big Air style and huge street riding, and is constantly learning and creating new tricks to propel the sport forward.
I remember when Dalton first started pogoing, he learned tricks so fast and was extremely committed to the sport. I specifically remember thinking “this kid is going to go far in this sport” and I couldn’t have been more right. We had the pleasure of interviewing Dalton, and heres what he had to say!
AllPogo: How did you begin pogoing? Tell us a little bit about life before pogoing and how you found the sport, and what it was that drew you into it.
Dalton: Before I started pogoing I was just another spastic little boy running around and getting into trouble because of my large imagination and insatiable curiosity. Fifth grade, I was part of a school club ~Destination Imagination~ which was this strange after school team of ADHD kids who had assembled to take part in challenges of the imagination. -> (Read More) ->

We’re happy to announce that our AllPogo shop is officially open for business!

All funds will go towards our web hosting costs, and development of new products and projects. That goes for every item we will ever sell, now and in the future.
Our official hand-printed AllPogo T-shirts are available for PRE-ORDER until the end of September. We’ll be printing and shipping shirts in October. Free shipping within the US. We accept PayPal, so transactions are quick and easy. We’ll be adding more products soon, including Earl Pote’s Signature Series pogo sticks, the best tech stick on the market.
