    i doubt it'll ever catch on like skateboarding, but it looks like an awful lot of fun... i banged myself up quite a bit trying to do stuff on a pogo stick that the pogo stick just wasn't down with... this thing is like the mercedes of pogo sticks!

    Being the first perpetual motion device in the world, the Flybar will eventually send a user into space if used long enough"

    There is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine, I am going to sue them for false advertising.

    I dont recall where, either Maxim or Playboy, featured this in their toys not too long ago.


    Oy, I just went through a big stack of magazines only to find it in the LAST one I looked at. Maxim # 84 (Dec 04), p. 180 - for your snot-faced twerps.

    What the fact that I remembered it or that I went through the effort to look through the damn magazines. I originally wasnt going to bother, but then thought it would only be in a certain area of each magazine. It took all of 10 minutes.

    Or is it the fact that I have stacks of magazines laying around. Frankly, I have Maxim from #8 or 10 straight to now. I have Playboys dating from the sixties up to the current time, although with the exception of the last five or six years its interspersed.

    There is nothign to recycle here.....its a collection. Although when I last moved I did get rid of my National Geographic collection (sold it to a book store) and recycled my various other magazine collections (AFM, Sports Illustrated, Discover, Scientific American) No one wanted to buy them, but 20+ years of national geographic they snatched up in a heartbeat.

    I gotta agree with tupac here... it's not that you have a collection of Maxim and Playboys, it's not even that you looked through them (heck, I don't really think that people really need good reasons to look through Maxims or Playboys), it's just that you flipped through your collection of Maxims and Playboys to find a picture of a dorky looking guy on a pogo stick.

    of course it was in the last one you looked at... why would you keep looking if you had found it? D'oh.

    No recollection of the picture, just the product. Frankly, it was probably because it was that months issue too, although I didnt realize that until I went through them all.

    well i appreciate the effort UFC .... Hmm and i would like them to prove that its both a perpetual motion device and that it can put someone in space.... Cause last time i checked, you couldn't just create force, or turn off gravity and friction.. hmm and put someone in space? I know a bunch of kids are gonna ask for it for xmas to see if they can go to space and end up hurting themselves real bad.
