How High Would You Able To Jump On A Trampoline If You Were Also Jumping With A Pogo Stick?
October 27, 2009
What about if each corner of the trampoline was attached to a pogo stick? What about if each pogo stick was on another pogo stick? Could you break the speed of light this way? Has this got some chance of becoming an Olympic Sport?
I do believe this has been done before, back in the 30’s. It didn’t turn out too good, something about the fabric of time ripping, or was that the trampoline? I forget lol, but needless to say, it did not work too well for all involved. If by chance someone figured out how to make something like this work, then I’m sure it would be entertaining enough to make a sport of it some day.
Try it and let us know.
Hmmm am thinking no to the Olympics but it does sound like a good time if one does not break the speed of light am positive one would break a bone or two. Trampolines are fun pogo sticks not so fun. You make me smile have a wonderful day
SUPER HI OF COURSE
Dude I did this when I was a kid. The problem is that you cant control your weight properly. If you lean a little to one side it spits you off at cazy angles at insane speeds. I ended up flipping upside down and knocked myself out on the frame of the trampoline and dislocating my shoulder. But I got one good jump in and I reckon I got at least 2 meters high.
A pogo stick needs a large force and a hard surface to work properly. Putting a pogo stick on a pogo stick doesn’t give it a hard surface. The weight of the person on the pogo stick peovides the force. The spring in the pogo stick provides the opposing force. Putting one pogo stick on top of another pogo stick is just increasing the spring force. That could be done in one pogo stick.
I don’t think that pogo will ever be an Olympic sport.
