pogo-stick

Vertical bouncing toy

A pogo stick is a pole with footrests and a spring at the bottom, used as a toy for bouncing.

The rider stands on the footrests, grips the handles, and hops along by compressing and releasing the spring: She bounced down the sidewalk on her pogo stick.

The verb means to move this way: He pogo-sticked across the yard.
