My Pogo Hurts

[Mr.42]

Whenever I do pogos on my board, the top truck always digs into my leg and hits it when I'm jumping. I'm pretty sure I have the trick down, I can jump five times so far, but I always have to quit because it hurts too much. I have two huge bruises on my leg that stick out about 1\4 inch because of constant truck pounding.

Maybe I'm doing the trick wrong??? Here's how I do it.(regular foot)

right foot is on the bottom truck, left foot is on the dark side lined up with the other foot.

Does anyone else have this problem? Am I just doing the trick wrong? Help please.

[CoffinGrinder]

Dude it's a skateboard not a dil*0.

[XxnemisxX]

wow your act to be funny is very well not amusing young man and shouldnt this go in trick help?

[CoffinGrinder]

"because of constant truck pounding."
I think this is a joke.

[XxnemisxX]

[w1skater]

Don't pogos ruin your tail?

[XxnemisxX]

and that kids is why we dont do pogos.

[XxnemisxX]

[Dark***Star]

I dont like pogos, they wreck ur deck

[XxnemisxX]

but they look kinda kool :D

[STR8 RIPPIN']

mabey you should stop doing them and the bruise might go away. their not exactally the gratest trick and they swrew up your deck.

[Mr.42]

DUDE! That was in no way a joke! I have the ****ing bruises to prove it!!! You are the immature ones for thinking that, you ****ing pervs!!!

[Sk8 Or DiE]

pogo.....thats a pretty advance seeming trick. i wouldnt waste my time. they mess up your board fast

[Mr.42]

I know there are some people out there who can take a question seriously and try to help someone instead of making dumb accusations about dildos. I see people do pogos all the time and it doesn't seem to bother them.

[Blind Sheppard]

Right we've all sussed that they mess up your board, well i can't give any advice except have a break from them or try to bend your hold the board with your knees.

[Mr.42]

Right we've all sussed that they mess up your board, well i can't give any advice except have a break from them or try to bend your hold the board with your knees.thanks. I'm not worried about messing up my tail with pogos. My tail is a thick flat bottomed tail and it has a thin metal plate that covers the tip of the tail. It won't break from pogos. But, if I used my nose for pogos, then it would surely chip on the first bounce.

and what exactly did you mean by "try to bend your hold the board with your kness"? I am holding the board with my knees, is that bad?

[baker_etnies]

dude, just stop doin them and the bruises will go away.

[Mr.42]

dude, just stop doin them and the bruises will go away.Haha, yeah I know what you mean. But you've got to understand that's like saying "Stop skating if you keep falling down".

Oh, well.... Do any of you guys do pogos? I guess a lot of people give up because it hurts you and your board, because that's the advice I'm getting. thanks anyway guys.
:D

[AlmostJeff]

I tried pogo's back in my "old school phase" I didn't like them too much, but I could get about 6 hops I think.

[baker_etnies]

i never tried them cuz i never felt like goin to the hospital cuz i ripped my sack open on a rather sharp nose or tail.

[SlimJim_junky]

Dude it's a skateboard not a dil*0.
Dude, you're a retard, not a comedian.

[Flipstreetskate]

My advice 42, just practice them more and your legs may get used to the truck. Just like the first board on shin hurts a lot, but after time they don't hurt so much. You should probably check some clips of people doing them and watch the area of concern. Study how they hold and balance. They will know the best possible way to do this trick, especially if they are at the pro level. If you have PJ's WHL, David Vey does a pogo hopping down some stairs. That clip would help you a lot.

[bmmetcalf]

Dude, you're a retard, not a comedian.
i thought what he said was pretty funny

[XxnemisxX]

well then you my friend have really bad humor or your immature

[bmmetcalf]

no i just dont take everything soooooo seriously

[Zoo_Dork]

Dude, you're a retard, not a comedian.
omg slim jim you are effing funny !!! that was the best comeback yet...

[Mr.42]

i thought what he said was pretty funny
I don't even get it, what the hell does a skateboard have to do with that shit?

By the way, thanks FlipStreetSkate.

[Flipstreetskate]

omg slim jim you are effing funny !!! that was the best comeback yet...

I seriously hope you're in like second grade, let's just be mature people.
Also everyone, just chill out on the fighting. It's getting really irritating going into a thread and seeing all this stuff goin on, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only memeber bothered by this. We don't want RR looking like a pit of lowlifes do we? If you have a problem with someone, settle it either by PM's or some messenger service. Why can't we all just get along?

[SlimJim_junky]

omg slim jim you are effing funny !!! that was the best comeback yet...
Uh..... What I said wasn't even that funny, dude.

[360degrees]

Dude it's a skateboard not a dil*0.
Go suck your dad...

ER...pogos...hmm
well the only advice i can give you is watch out for top truck, because that can often be in JUSt the wrong place and can hurt and make sure board isnt too big for your legs, other tahn taht er...
I would suggest (if not already) learn them on an old school (one kicktail) board

[Mr.42]

The top truck doesn't even go to my knees and the tip of the nose is right at my knees.

I'm glad I'm tall, my foot slipped today, and if I were short, the thing would have jabbed me something feirce.

I beat my record today, went from six hops to ten hops.

[XxnemisxX]

wow nice :D ,do u do no handers?

[Dark***Star]

i think so eh?

[Mr.42]

Thanks. Yeah, nothing but no-handers.

I've seen other people do it holding the board and it just doesn't look good, so no hands for me.

[Big Red]

Yeah, I agree that it doesn't look good if you use your hands.

I used to do some freestyle stuff a few years ago, but I just gave up on it. I still bust out some spins every day though :-6:.
