How can I get a good series of pogo jumps?

Question

I found an old pogo stick and started fooling around with it and "pogo-ing".

But...I can;t get more than two jumps.

How do you get a good series of jumps going ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have to kieep yourself as straight as possible on the stick, thus keeping your center of gravity evenly distributed over the center, so you can balance properly.

Bent arms and legs are just going to throw off your weight distribution.

Answer 2

You just keep practicing, like my daughter she is up to 50 jumps. Its all in balancing your body on the stick.
