@ItsME My all time record as a child on the Pogo stick was 3 hours straight, I won the competition in our neighborhood, and the only reason I had to get off was to use the restroom, I probaly could have done a couple of more hours.

@CareBears Another thing we have in common besides liking a lot of the same books! When I was a kid I used to pogo around the neighborhood to stop off at friends houses. We never had an official competition though. Did you ice skate too? I often wonder if the balance from all the hours I spent on skates had anything to do with pogo balance. Those are actually two things that after many years of not doing them I'll bet I could still do today. Probably not as well, of course, but it seems like the muscle memory for them would be the same as like riding a bike. Which I also haven't done in years. The old RA interferes with some of these things now.

@abbalulu I used to put ice skates on and fumble around the ice rink, never accomplished any thing other than noodle legs, but I sure did give it my all when I tried it.
