Why?

With all this free time I want to connect to the community and try and give something back. I think this can be a fun new idea that could potential be expanded in the future. With previous “online competitions” people would send videos back and forth but would hardly ever reach a conclusion. That why I want to do it LIVE! It will only take a few hours to complete. This was a spur of the moment idea and I’m running with it! I decided to host this two weeks before Pogopalooza so that way it can be used as practice for those attending.  Why 4 tricks? Simple, I’m sick of seeing only 3 trick combos. I just want to try something fun, new, and different. 

How will it work? 

The competition will be a “Round Robin” format. Each athlete will be in a que and when it is their turn will attempt their best 4 trick combo. -> (Read More) ->

Trick Classification: Under The What!?


How many pogo tricks can you name? Today there are so many tricks and variations that it’s hard to keep up. AllPogo has created the largest and still growing trick database with videos and explanations, all to help share the knowledge, which has been no easy task.  It wasn’t always this difficult though, it used to only take 3 letters.

Before the explosion of YouTube, a handful pogoers were creating their own tricks and names and sharing on “The Forums”. Uploading a decent quality video to the Internet was quite the task back then. You had to have your own server or know someone that could host the video for you. Not to mention there were no high quality affordable digital cameras, everything that was recorded back then was on tape and had to be manually captured onto the computer.  This made sharing raw videos or practice sessions super rare. To be able to discuss trick progressions and ideas the first trick classification was created – “The DUZ system”. Throughout this article I have included some gifs from 2004, in their original quality, which was one way we were able to share short clips of tricks. -> (Read More) ->
