SBI Pogo stick – How to use it?

Today, SBI pogo stick is a very popular toy, and it is widely used as an exercise equipment as well. The history of SBI pogo stick is very interesting. An American traveller named George Hansburg happened to meet a farmer while he was travelling through Burma. The farmer had a daughter named Pogo, who wanted to go to temple to offer prayers but couldn't as she didn't have footwear and so walking over the rough terrains was very difficult. This necessitated the farmer to create a jumping stick for his daughter so that she could bounce through mud and rocks on her way to the temple. Impressed by this footwear-alternate, George Hansburg created a jumping stick on returning to the homeland but he added a spring to the stick and named it as SBI Pogo stick and got the patent for the same in 1919.

Various improvements have resulted in the pogo sticks of today but its crude version remains to be the same. An SBI pogo stick generally has a pole with a handle at its top and a pair of footrests attached at its bottom. The pole is divided into two sections, one that extends above the footrest and the other extends below the footrest, and these two sections are connected with a spring.

How to use an SBI pogo stick? First thing one should know before using an SBI pogo stick is it should not be used on a carpet and a smooth flat surface such as concrete is ideal to be used on. The stick has to be held straight and then the user has to jump on its footpads, the user can stay steady with the aid of the handle. If one manages to do these step rightly then he/she can start with bouncing.

For SBI pogo stick to bounce the user has to jump but not jump too hard, and while bouncing the user has to keep the stick closer. If the user feels he/she may fall slightly leaning in the opposite direction can prevent falls. On learning to control well the player can start jumping with just a foot, as normally one would jump. After gaining control, the other foot has to be taken off from the pedal.

Following this is to jump on to the SBI pogo stick pedal without the hands holding the stick's handle. Jump normally, while the hands need to be taken away from the handle, and here knees are used to hold the stick and pull it up. Learning well to this can let one perform various activities while on the stick's pedals. But it is good to wear safety gears while bouncing with an SBI pogo stick.
