Vurtego
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vurtego is a variation of the traditional pogo stick.
The Vurtego pogo forfeits the traditional spring design in exchange for a patented air spring system. The air spring allows riders to reach great heights without the requirement of a heavy spring or elastomeric bands, which degrade over time. The Vurtego weighs under 11 pounds (5 kg) yet is capable of producing 1800 pounds-force (8,000 newtons) of thrust. The Vurtego allows riders to propel themselves as high as 7'6" (2.3 m) into the air with head heights reaching in excess of 12 feet (3.7 m).
