hey guys, ive introduced myself a while ago but im sure alot of people have joined since then. but i was here before just because i was interested in the sport, and i bought my first scooter yesterday and am gonna give it a try.

my names earl pote. im sure a few of you know me. i am sponsored by CRUNK!!! energy drink for extreme pogo sticking. if you want, check this out, its 6 months old, and ive improved greatly since then. im currently working on a new video that will blow everyones mind, basically every single trick has never been landed. im kinda ashamed of this video, and it was made within like an hour so its just a random crap vid:

i was trying tailwhips yesterday, and on my third try almost landed it, i do it weird though, like i put my foot on an angle on the back wheel and just kick the hell out of it to spin, i dont use my arms at all, and i have to work on that. i can also 360 barspin, 540 barspin, i can almost grind on the deck (whats that called anyways) and im wondering where i should go from here. i have a razor model A scooter (just a $30 one from a sports store) and im gonna try modding it soon, because i have a feeling im gonna break it pretty quick.

i basically want to start doing this sport because its different and in my opinion one of the coolest sports out there. in addition to xpogo, i also unicycle, so ill be doing the 3 most oddest sports, haha.

any suggestions on what tricks i should be working on? thanks alot guys. if ya'll have a myspace, mines http://myspace.com/stuntpogostickerxxx

So you can 540 bar, but barely whip? are you sure its not a 540 back wheel pivot barspin?

Grinds are called what they're called in skating and bmx, feebles, smiths, boardslides etc.

You probably have a new a, get a pro model.
Just work on tricks that you wanna try, watch some videos for some influenceds. I suggest nosegrabs, bars, manuals, turndowns etc. Just do what you wanna.

and i remember you, cool vid.

i just do a bunnyhop (is that what its really called) and spin the bars, ive landed 720 and 900 barspins, theyre one hell of a lot easier than on a pogo stick so its pretty easy to me.

oo yea i remember you. and you should reinforce that scooter before you ride it too hard. check the reinforce your scooter thread in the scooters section.

damn, i just thought of an idea. find out how to bri-flip on a scooter and then try it on a pogo stick that would be awesome!

i dont believe it. you must be doing a pivot or something.

Maybe the way that he's talking a 360 barspin is what we call a regular barspin, a 720 barspin is what we call a double barspin and so on.

and you only mod sticks if theyre little sticks from like toys r us, those need serious modding. i can break a stock one in like 20 minutes if its unmodded. and i use them quite often because im mostly a tech pogoer, i dont do much big air stuff.

and i also learned how tot ailwhip basically every time. but i dont get how to like stand on the board, do you stand on it like a skateboard? like goofy or regular? because i naturally jsut have one foot on and my left foot either dangling or resting lightly on the brake.
