Spoing Indeed

[theodosia]

Yesterday my boss discovered Powerizers, which are a cross between pogo sticks and stilts -- they functionally turn your lower legs into kangaroo springs. It turns out there's a bunch of Powerizer vids on Youtube, like this one:

Freestyle Powerizer

(The spelling may actually be Poweriser, because I believe it was invented in the UK, at least the ones I've seen for sale seem to be imported from there....)

I look at these and go, wow and also: I would kill myself.

Wow, those look so awesome! (But I'm wondering how many times these guys fell before they got a hang of jumping and flipping!)

Yeah, I can see us on them. Me holding onto something for dear life.

Would have been fun about 50 years ago.
