A young athlete has mastered the unique sport of extreme pogo—or Xpogo—and performs incredible stunts.
22-year-old Henry Cabelus learned to pogo when he was seven, but it wasn’t until he was 12 years old when he got his first high-powered stick and began to learn tricks.
He began pushing it to the next level at 16 and practiced religiously to test his personal limits.
Henry, from Burlington in Vermont, is these days a full-time professional pogo sticker who performs with the Xpogo Stunt team.
He said, “Similar to street skateboarding or BMX videos, we like to see what tricks can get done in our day-to-day environment.

“It’s hard to be satisfied with a clip unless you had to overcome fear or some sort of new physical challenge.”
Henry has suffered several injuries while performing the stunts, but he’s determined to improve his skills.
He added, “When it comes to danger there’s the obvious broken arms and legs, but my main concern is always the ‘slip out’.
“We only have one point of contact on the ground and it is not very much surface area.
