Flybar, Inc

In 1918, George Hansburg introduced America to the pogo stick and opened the original pogo stick company. In the early 1920's Hansburg brought his pogo stick to his friend, Florenz Ziegfeld of the world-famous Ziegfeld Follies. Ziegfeld, the eminent Broadway impresario of the day, immediately choreographed a pogo routine into his show. The Follies made pogo sticking the latest craze. Hansburg made the pogo stick his passion and continued innovating in pogos. To revitalize the pogo craze, Hansburg set out to reinvent the quality, durability and fun of the pogo stick. His 1957 US patent for the "MASTER" pogo stick, shows the now iconic curved handle and dual supporting bars. In the late 50's and early 60's, Hansburg did indeed recreate that craze with the "MASTER" pogo stick. Hansburg's original pogo stick company changed hands in the 70's but remained equally committed and passionate about pogo sticks. They persistently improved on the pogo stick. It was this quest that ultimately lead to the development of the "Flybar"​ in 2000. The Flybar used patented technology of Elastomeric Thrusters. These thick rubber thruster bars could be selectively engaged to create the right bounce based on weight and ability. The Flybar created a comfortable BIG bounce that replicated the feel of a trampoline. But, what the Flybar really created was the extreme pogo sport, and pogoing never looked the same again. We are still passionate about pogos after 99 years, and are proud that Flybar pogos are "the standard by which all pogos are measured". From innovating the extreme pogo, introducing pogo interactivity, to continuously supporting pogo sports & pogo health around the globe, Flybar continues to be the world's leading pogo stick company. But Flybar today is not just pogos. New products for toddlers, stilts, gear, and skateboards are all designed and developed with the passion and innovation George Hansburg first demonstrated nearly 100 years ago. Flybar, Since 1918
