Photo thanks to our friends at Xpogo on Instagram.

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!

This just in! The guys over at Xpogo recently released this bingo game to help give you some motivation. Try and get a full row!

A Love For Pogoing, In All Of It’s Forms – Ryan O’Malley

Posted on by
Ryan O’Malley stepping back on the stick after a few months away.

I went out pogoing for the first time in a few months today. My wife and I had our first child in November, and then shortly after, the Covid-19 pandemic started taking full effect, so I haven’t had much free time aside from work. Luckily, my day job as a Land Surveyor is considered an essential job, so I still have income, but I haven’t had any time for my passion: Pogoing. To get back out and jump today felt so nice, even without crazy tricks and flips. Just the feeling of bouncing brought back the original joy that glued me to this sport in the first place. For ten minutes, in between loads of laundry drying, I was able to bring back feelings I had missed for a long time. It got me thinking about my history and the many different opportunities pogoing has given me.

My first ever pogo gig was a set of parades in New York, which had been organized by Nick Ryan, who would go on to lead Xpogo through its massive growth. -> (Read More) ->

Put Your Feet On

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) ->

Winter Pogo Guide

Posted on by
Stillshot from “Winter Sucks 2” (2015)

Pogoing in the winter is a real pain. When I was filming “Winter Sucks” (2008) there were clips where I was out filming in -13 F. I never let the cold stop me from getting out there and filming, and here I’ll be giving you some tips that helped me power through tough Chicago winters.

Be Motivated.

This is by far the biggest and most important factor of sticking to pogoing during the cold season. You need to have the utmost determination to be able to go outside in sub zero temperatures to film or even just practice. My biggest motivation in the early/mid 2000’s was trying to stay relevant in the game. I knew guys in Florida (Team Hyper Pogo) were still jumping and getting better in the year round warmth, so I had no other choice but to jump in the cold, even if it was just to keep up with what everyone else was doing.

Trick Classification: Under The What!?

Posted on by

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. DUZ.

VIA – Xpogo 2004

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) ->

Background Check: Dalton Smith

Posted on by

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) ->
