pogo sticks

Spring-loaded jumpers

Pogo sticks are pole-shaped toys with footrests and a spring mechanism, allowing a rider to bounce repeatedly without touching the ground.

Children use them for play; skilled users can perform tricks.

The motion has become a verb: He pogoed across the yard.

In punk rock contexts, pogoing means bouncing vertically in place while dancing.
