If you're looking to try something new in the New Year, why not try learning the pogo stick? No, not your grandfather's pogo stick, the new Flybar Model 1200 ($299). The pogo stick used a simple steel coil spring to bounce you around, but the Flybar uses 12 huge rubber bands that can produce up to 1200 pounds of thrust to rocket you up over 6 feet into the air (the record so far is nearly eight feet). I don't think anyone is too old for this thing, but I definitely recommend wearing a strong helmet!

• Appropriate for ages 14 and up--supports rider weight from 120 to 250 pounds
• Elevation potential of over 6 feet--dramatically greater than any pogo on the market
• Based on a one-of-a-kind, patented, fully adjustable elastomeric spring system
• Powered solely by leg strength and body weight--no pneumatic or artificial propulsion mechanisms
• Feels like bouncing on a trampoline--no high-impact jumping
