Description
The theme went something like "Pogo ball is what'cha call it when you're rockin' and a rollin' everywhere..." This was an inflatable ball with a platform to stand on while hopping that was attached to the ball. If you were really good, you could go down small sets of stairs, spin, flip the pogo ball and jump rope while on the pogo ball.

I remember this thing! The theme music was a little different though. It went, 'You go, I go, pogo! You go, I go pogo ball!' The Pogo ball was hard to master though, cause I thought it came with straps to keep you in place while you jumped, but this thing was about pure skill. Handy little item during the 80s.

This thing was awesome. I keep wishing I still had one. I rocked this thing pretty hard.

I had a green one with yellow disc, it was cool! I could hold on just fine by squeezing my feet against the top ball, but often landed wrong so the disc slammed into the ground and threw me off -- good thing I couldn't strap myself on, because I probably would've landed on my face... lol

I had one back in the 80's too. i had the pink one. I played with mine so much it broke after a year and my dad wouldn't buy me another one. =( I am going to buy one to reminisce and get back in shape.

Mine was white with a hot pink ball and a hot pink checker pattern on the disc, I used to stand on the 3rd or 4th stair (from the bottom) and hop down to the floor, awesome! I think I have seen these again at toy stores...

I had one of these too! Actually two! They were the greatest thing. I also would stand at the top of the stairs and hop my way down. I look back now and think what the heck was I thinking!

I was just telling my kids about the pogo ball bec ase they are watching Emily Elizabeth on Clifford hop on a pogo stick and I told them that I used to have a pogo ball. They were like What's that?! So when I couldn't describe it I came here looking for a picture to show them. Mine was a neon greem ball with a purple disc. I was the master!!!! LOL prolly not, but I like to remember it that way =D

There making them again. I saw them in Target this summer. I so wanted to take it off the shelf and start hopping around but it was deflated.

Thank you so much! i just spent the last hour searching around the internet trying to find out what these were called. Mine was lime green.

My big brother had one. It was a red ball with yellow disc. I remember finally figuring out how to do it. I later graduated to a real pogo stick. Without the ball.... I don't know where I would've ended up. Prolly a mini trampoline or some lame crap....

im 16 they make one still i have it and i can jump from cement walls to other ones now cause they altured the shap of the disc, its more like a rectangle shape now, so you can jump to stall and grind and flip it easier.HI MOMY:)
