Daniel Mahoney's World Record High Jump on a Pogo Stick

[smetaniuk12]

what size of pogo should i get, im 6 feet tall and have long legs, and im a pretty good on the pogo, what size is best?

[jonmahoney04]

@smetaniuk12 Is this Braden? Dan is about 6'3" and he rides a medium, as he likes to keep the bars lower on the body for tricks under the legs especially. I would say though, for the average person your size you'd be more comfortable on a large.

@jonmahoney04 aight, thanks, braden? my brother?

[jonmahoney04]

@smetaniuk12 I lived in Edmonton for 6 months in 2008. Braden was in my ward. He's your bro? Rockin'.

what size should i get? im 6 feet and i have long legs, what size of vurtego v3 should i get?

[cheeesefunnel]

I dot understand how they measure the height,..is it the bottom of his feet?

[jonmahoney04]

@cheeesefunnel No, it's the top of the bar. Both he and the stick need to clear the bar.

[jonmahoney04]

This video was uploaded on September 11, 2008. The PSEUS video is Dave Barabe jumping 8 feet with a nitrogen injector on his stick, and the other one is Daniel Mahoney again just jumping higher. Fred Grzybowski jumps about the same height too.
