A pogo stick converts mechanical energy into potential and kinetic energy as the user jumps up and down.
A Pogo stick converts mechanical energy generated by the user bouncing up and down into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The stored potential energy in the compressed spring of the Pogo stick is released as kinetic energy when the user jumps on it and starts bouncing.
The primary action force in a pogo stick is the force exerted by the user pushing down on the spring. This force compresses the spring, storing potential energy. When the spring expands, it exerts an equal and opposite reaction force on the user, propelling them upwards. Frictional forces and air resistance also play a role in damping the motion of the pogo stick.
It is better to use a pogo stick on concrete instead of a grassy area because concrete provides a more stable and flat surface for the pogo stick to bounce on. Grass can be uneven and soft, making it harder to balance and control the pogo stick. Additionally, the concrete surface allows for a more efficient transfer of energy from each bounce, resulting in better performance.
The fastest speed someone has traveled on a pogo stick is around 42.8 mph (69 km/h). This record was achieved by Biff Hutchison in 2010.

No, a pogo stick is more of an avtivity than a toy. :)
A bag of sugar !
I am not sure where your pogo stick ended up. Perhaps you could ask your parents or look on eBay or in flea markets for a similar pogo stick if you would like to find a similar pogo stick.
George Hansburg did. He made the master pogo stick
Gary Stewart used a Flybar 1000 pogo stick to set the record for the highest jump on a pogo stick.
It is a type of front suspension, like on the 1996 Yamaha V-Max 600's. Rides outside the hood and looks like a pogo stick on each side of the hood.
