Human-Flavored Skewer Defies Gravity! Ready, Set...Flybar!

Fellas, it's time to pump up some adrenaline! Now, we can do it the easy way, by picking up some old-school skateboard, or the extreme way, by getting ourselves one of these chick-magnet tools, also known as the Flybar.

What makes this bouncing stick so cool? Well, the makers claim they've "brought the pogo stick to the 21 century, transforming it from a balance challenging toy, to a gravity defying sport." The stick can actually bounce up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) in the air. But, I suppose you must not be overweight to do that!

Skateboard fans worldwide have even more reasons to jump with joy -literally- as the jumping stick was co-developed by Andy McDonald, the famous skater. The makers also said that the aluminum device has been described as "a pogo stick on steroids."

Besides its extreme looks, the item can be an excellent workout instrument. They say losing weight will come natural, I say you'll get holes in the grounds trying that. However, the ideal user weight is said to be at 80-180lbs (36-81 kilograms). The Flybar's body structure is based on a fully adjustable rubber spring system. It has a bike pedal with foot pegs and an adjustable piston length.

The stick gets powered exclusively by leg strength and body weight, using no artificial or pneumatic propulsion mechanism. The ones who used this bouncing stick said it felt like a real trampoline. And the impact shouldn't be harmful at all, since the mechanism allows special customization to adapt to each body weight, skill level and terrain. They also added an advanced polyurethane shock and sound absorption system so you won't scare the hell out of your neighbours.

However, if you want one of these, the fellows from boysstuff.co sell this wacky sticks for about 150 pounds each. And hell yeah, it seems to be even better than the anti-gravity boots, or at least safer!
