Happy 2025 folks! We’re a little behind the bell, but that’s only because we took so long carefully deliberating how to open the year, and we think we nailed it. Pogo sticking, motherfucker!
Yup, we kept thinking of reasons not to, like how many of you “rough and tumble” types will call it corny, but to be honest, we don’t care. It’s insane. And you have to watch to understand.
These aren’t regular, off the shelf pogo sticks. These are 25ft in the air, knock your teeth out, hydraulic infused (probably- don’t fact check me), NSFW, metal monstrosities. Far from playing hopscotch in the front yard, Henry Cabelus, Nico Patino, and Dalton Smith have all made a name for themselves, raking in millions of views and are working together to legitimize pogoing.
Curious, we met up in Downtown Manhattan for a day of tilting our cameras rapidly up and down at some of New York’s most famous skate spots. Enjoy, write a scathing review, laugh, cry, feel something! And don’t worry, we’ll go back to skateboarding shortly.

That shit takes nerve, skill, athletism, and they really are outliers. May not float your boat, not for me, but those guys are passionate and are ripping. Love it.

Greg, Jenkem.. the only people “scathing” are you guys when you get butt hurt over the comments people leave on this site. Come on now.

8:35. This is what we wanted those Pogo sticks to do, they didn’t, so we got skateboards.

Dudes better cut Jenkem in when their stick company takes off.
One-handers are corny.
Dog at 9:17 knows.
Shouts to Navarro for giving it a go.
