Dmitry Arsenyev goes vertical to set Guinness world record for highest jump on a pogo stick

For years, pogo sticks failed to deliver on their comic-book-ad promise of soaring jumps. That all changed with the advent of modern-day sticks which can attain never before seen heights…

Appearing on the Guinness World Records Italian live show, Dmitry Arsenyev broke his own record for highest jump on a pogo stick when he cleared a height of 11.15 feet (3.40 meters).

Arsenyev is so confident in his high-flying pogo jumps that he can add a complete flip while clearing the high-jump bar…

… and when he’s not flipping, he’s perfectly capable of flipping the stick itself in midair.
