Flybar may also refer to an element of the helicopter rotor. The Flybar is a modification of the traditional pogo stick design which allows riders to propel themselves up to a world record 8 feet 6 inches into the air according to the Flybar's website.
Later improvements to the pogo stick have been made, including the Vurtego, [7] Flybar, [8] and the BowGo, [9] which allow operators to jump much higher than with a simple coil spring pogo stick. Back flips and other tricks are now possible on some of these newer sticks, which has contributed to the growth of the new sport of Extreme Pogo ...
Defined as being able to support riders of adult weights while carrying a height potential of 6+ feet, the first extreme pogo stick was the Flybar 1200, by S.B.I. Enterprises. [15] Instead of using a traditional steel spring, the Flybar utilized giant rubber “elastomers,” creating a bungee-like jumping sensation.
Extreme Pogo is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks on extreme pogo sticks, defined as such by their durability and potential for height.

The air spring within a Vurtego pogo stick allows riders to pump the pogo stick up to their preferred air pressure in order to jump. The more air pressure that is pumped into the pogo stick, the stiffer the spring becomes. The same Vurtego pogo stick can be used by a 75 lb kid or a 300 lb fully grown adult, simply by adjusting the air pressure.
