Sounds like early training for driving.

Adults are only allowed to drive as fast as the slowest struggler

Literally the only mode of transportation that is stupider than a unicycle is a pogo stick.

Any time an article uses the term "problematic" you can generally stop reading.

I'm getting a headache just thinking about constantly bouncing up and down all the way down a street.

The thing that makes it funnier for me is that its San Francisco.

I'm pretty sure that the pogo stick was invented as a toy for children, and the only adults that still play with them are those extreme guys that do flips and stuff on souped up sticks.

I can't believe that is an actual business venture. Friggin pogo sticks. Yeah, I've got a headache thinking about how bloody stupid that is. Compounded by the idea of actually using one for more than about 20 seconds. Adults don't bounce like kids do. Trust me, I took my kid to the Flying Squirrel a little while back and now I can't bring her with me if I have to go to the airport DHL or Fedex places to pick up packages, lest she sees the joint and starts begging to go back.

Speaking of which, that place's sign in waiver is the most complicated and ridiculous process I've ever gone through for a kids fun play place. Save yourself the headache from the bouncing and the sign in by just saying no to your kids.

Yeah....less of a 'boing' and more of a 'thud.'

Ass over Tea-kettle.

Maybe its more designed to be a spectator sport?

Watch unwitting tourists pay to receive grievous bodily harm?

Perhaps they could combine it with the cheese wheel chase.

They should replace the biking portion of Triathlons with Pogo.
