Pogo, Lolo, Ball or Bal??
Ahhhh yes this takes me back. I had one of these back when I was a young gal. I remember bouncing on it and a kid came up to me & wanted to try it. He offered me a stick of gum to try, which of couse I knew was definitely lingo for drugs!!(I had been attending D.A.R.E. meetings at school. Free Entemann’s Chocolate Chip Cookies FTW!) I told him “NO WAY, JOSE”(and his name wasn’t even Jose) and pogo-ed on out of there. But did I pogo, lolo, or discoed on out…now I’m not sure…there were actually so many different versions
I find this very confusing but from what I can understand from Wiki, it looks like several people wanted to make the same product, but used different names. Which I find hilarious. Because if you are manufacturing the Pogo Ball and someone is like “hey! check out my pogo bal! So much better than your pogo BALL! ” Thats just insane.
But now I miss it, I wonder if its somewhere in my parent’s attic? I think I may go get it or maybe I’ll get the old mini trampoline my mom got during the 1980s rebounder workout phase. Basically I feel like Bouncin’!!

Zomg I totally had a mini trampoline. That thing was awesome, except when you got your foot stuck in it from too much excitement. Not so fun with your face on the floor. Not so fun at all…

omg pogo ball on a trampoline. Brilliance!
& please feel free to add a link Regis.
And yes, metal spring burns and carpet face were many of the hard knock of a mini trampoline. But so worth it…
