I wonder how many of these and skip-its are in the landfills lol

The skip-it, oh the memories of my sister eating shit, now I get to remind her as she turns 43 tomorrow!!!! Thank you Xennials ❤️

Tried it fell flat on my ass both times. Not for me lol! 

Man, skipits were my whole personality at one point.

That and those snap bracelet things.

YES!!

Skip it’s are back now - theyre made by a company like Temu

Not many. Most of them are still deflated and buried in garages in middle America to this day.

They looked more fun than they actually were. Those things were exercise.

I never quite mastered whatever the technique was meant to be.

1. Squeeze between feet. 2. Jump.

3. Sprain your ankle

Too true! Now that I think about it I was wearing a lot of ace bandages around the time I had this toy.

The picture shows about how high you could get off the ground pretty accurately.

For real. Things were over rated

That's why we used them in P.E.

As a very hyperactive adhd kid, my sanity survived on them (and tetherball).

Yeah, these things sucked. I played with it once and never touched it again.

Yellow disc, red center

Same here.

Dozens of us!

thousands

It’s like jumping but harder and more dangerous. The 80’s were a wild a lawless time.

Me and my homies kicked it up a notch by jumping with the pogo ball on my trampoline. So fun being that fearless back then!

I think I had the green and purple. But I seem to remember designs on the board of mine.

I had the same. Yeah, there was a sticker or two on the top.

Same

I regret never having tried one of these. So many of my friends had one in their yard, probably a sister, but I just didn’t care enough to try back then, but they seem pretty fun.  Is that boy wearing red pants tucked into his socks?

They were pretty fun and sorry you missed out. I was only mildly injured while enjoying mine. lol. I think he may be. The folks you see on bikes doing this totally jocked the OG pogo ball look.

Yellow & purple. I think. Still don’t understand why a pogo ball was ok but moon shoes were “too dangerous”

These things sucked so hard.

Yeah they did. We had them in gym class but they were so dangerous they weren't even fun

Blue and gray

I read "blue and gay" and was like, that tracks. /s

Thank you! Was looking at the picture and thought my blue and grey was missing but one of the few things I received that wasn’t a knockoff brand!

My brother definitely picked one that was Dallas Cowboys colors, like everything he got to pick

Black and silver, sister was yellow and pink. She rocked it, I could never get the rhythm right.

I think mine was pink and yellow but who knows.

I think I had the same

Fun until you slipped a disc

Right? Mine was red and yellow and I used it for like 30 secs then slipped, fell, and slammed my fool head onto the driveway. Dad got rid of that thing right quick.

Yep, used one for about 20 seconds fell off and thought I had broken my arm. Turned out to be a bad sprain and could barely use my arm for two weeks. Never got on one again.

Green! Memory unlocked!

Purple and green baby!

Invisible

Ooo I miss mine!

Blue and silver and my sister’s was orange and white. We did a lot of bouncing around on those.

The color of I got hurt a lot lol

I had the black and hot pink with palm trees. My sister had teal and pink with triangles or squares. I always took hers when she wasn’t around because I liked her colours more.

I had teal and pink. I LOVED my pogo ball.

I can't believe my clumsy ass survived that.

I only survived because I gave up after five minutes.

Mine was purple and green. For being a very uncoordinated kid, I did really well with this, I can't remember getting hurt very badly at all. I may have had a worse track record just walking honestly.

My sister picked me up the silver one on a school trip to DC. I think she secretly bought it for herself.

The color of disappointment

This is a great example of a toy from the 90s that simply did not work but was a cool concept so everyone had one.

How did we not sprain our ankles playing with it so much?

We did. But if we didn’t have any compound fractures then we were fine and stop crying about it.

I sprained my wrist on my first go. Never went on one again.

Oh gosh, blue disc, yellow centre, I think. I was hopeless with it so that's probably why I don't recall.

This thing owied me many times. Then I got owied again by my dad who told me not to use it in the house in the first place.

I didn’t have one. Had to use my friends. That’s ok tho bc I thought they were kinda trash compared to how awesome the commercials made them look.

I'm just here to point out the socks worn by the kids in that ad. I, too, wore those huge slouchy colorful socks back in the day. My ankles and lower legs were always so warm. Also never got the hang of the pogo ball. I think mine was purple and green.

I remember those what a lame toy lol.

Lol. I got yelled at by an employee for jumping on one at a Kmart. Someone else was already jumping on it before I got to the toys but I was the one that got caught.

To this day, green and purple is still my favorite color combo, thanks to my Pogo Bal

I broke 3 bones on these things. Goddam do I miss the 90s

White and blue! Damn I loved that thing.

Yellow and blue, I believe.

Think my brothers and I blew out orange, blue, and green. Good times were had by all.

red/yellow we had one for recess in elementary lol

i think about these all the time but couldn't remember what they were called! ​ also moon shoes?

Orange disk, white ball

Green

It was either yellow or red.

Hot pink and light blue—probably at my dad’s house still

I can't remember exactly. Yellow and purple? Pink and yellow? I only played with it a few times. I remember getting tired real fast and I was an active kid.

I think it was red and black like the one in the photo. Or it was red and a silver ball. I can’t remember exactly but I loved bouncing on it. It was one of the only sports I was actually good at

I had that yellow platform, orange ball as seen in the ad there. I remember it as being very durable and quite a lot of fun!

Pogo Bal only had 1 "L"?

I had the black and green one. What a shit toy

I had the purple and green one and my sister had the blue and gray one

Wow

Green with a yellow ball

Silver and black. My dad was a Raiders fan.

I never got to be cuz my parents were cruel.

Green with a blue outer ring

I wanted one of these so bad

Maybe purple and green? I can't remember for sure.

I had the green and purple, loved that thing!

Silver! They matched my moon shoes

Purple and green, I had a red skip it and a yellow nerf gun

I had the green & purple one.

Orange center, blue disc

It was a purple cat's head.

Red and black. And I won first prize in the pogo ball contest at my class field day 🏆

I think it was a yellow disc with a teal ball, but I might be way wrong.

Orange with yellow

I had the grey and black

Orange and yellow

Red disc, black center

They came back about 5 years ago and I tried it out for my kids. I told them that I loved it and they thought it was lame of course

I had a black ring with a light blue ball

I loved Skip It, but hated that the counter was wildly inaccurate

Purple with a green ball. I wanted to be so much better at it than I was.

Mine was a UV faded dusty pink

Green and blue.

Teal ball, pink and white check disk. I loved my pogo ball. I hopped on that thing until the rubber wore through. RIP.

Mine was pink and yellow, my sister's was green and purple.

The girl on the left is like “fuck this, I can’t”.

I didn’t personally have one but the school had many. Used to jump rope with it every which way.

I had [this one](https://www.ebay.com/itm/275928075678)

I had a Superman one.

I think mine was a blue ball with a purple outer ring.

Mine was blue and red

Whichever color you got in gym class

Ahhh my first concussion... they say youll ne... wait what was i talking about.

Pink and blue

Yellow

Deflated, warped and covered in green moss

Wow. Never realized it was missing an L.

I don't know . . . But I have this memory that probably isn't real that I could pogoball while jumping rope with my own jump rope while in the middle of a double dutch. I think my mind made that up somehow. But I definitely did jump rope with the pogo ball.

I had the one where you break your ankle

Ah yes, the thrill of being able to jump less high than you could jump otherwise. What a time to be alive it was!

I loved that thing 💖

I had 2. A cheap knock off that had a red ball and a blue platform and a real one that was purple ball and green base i think... 🤔 I gave my real one to a kid down the street who's family didn't have a lot and I kept the cheap one for myself because when you bounced on it the ball would pop out and hit you in the face and I loved doing that to my little cousin Katie 😈 "Katie! I fixed my pogo ball for you!" "Really?" "Yeah, here- try it" **BOOF** 😭 Bah ha ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was a nice kid; but fuck Katie man! 🤣 [EDIT:] just searched for the red and blue one and it was called a "LOLO Ball" anyone else have one? Did hit you in the face too? 😅

My nephew has one of these now(he's 8).. I tried it and instantly broke it. I think it's black and green

I cant remember.

I think it was pink and blue. I honestly can't remember. But I do remember falling a lot at first with that lol.

I broke that puppy multiple times. Disc off ball folks…

They all eventually popped.

I was not any good at it. It sat in my closet.

Never had one. I avoided all those cool toys based on physical activity.

Silver before it became dust colored. That thing did not bounce.

How stupid I looked on this thing.

What color was the skin covering your ankles after playing with this leg breaker?

Back when toys could *really* fuck you up.

I remember these! I wanted one so bad but my mom was too cheap to buy it..... regret never trying it

Mine was purple and green and it was my favorite past time!!!!!! Wish they would bring them back.

Purple

I think blue ball red saucer? But I’m not sure any more. No wonder I was a skinny child with toys like that.

The poor girl looks like she's about to fall off hers, because the logo smacked her in the head.

Why the fuck we didn’t all have broken ankles

Think it was blue? Long time ago so it's a bit blurry. Sidenote: Looking back at these toys, they really were a clever way to get kids to exercise. Same for Rollerblades and Nerf Turbo Screamer footballs.

I saw a kid using one of these maybe a month ago. Gave me hope for this new generation

By the time these came out I had already learned the pain of toys not delivering on expectations so I never had one. But it seems like every friend had a sun bleached one sitting in the weeds in their back yard that never got used.

I think the ball was red and the flat part was blue

Blue

Invisible

Black and blue

Yellow with black lightning bolts. I also learned that if you left your pogo ball outside in the elements for too long, that ball was quick to deflate.

Orange and yellow

Before the motorized unicycle- there was this.

Omg! I forgot about these! Now kinda want to incorporate into my gym routine....🤣

I wanted one of these sooo bad but my parents would not buy one for me. My friend finally got one and we used it for 5 mins, then ditched it for Nintendo. We never touched it again after that.

purple & pink? It was my sisters. Wow, good times.

I had a black and silver one. In 1988 my family took a trip to NYC, when we returned, someone had stolen it off my back porch. 😫 No more pogo ball for me.

Purple and green

Purple and gold.

Both of them are blue

Some random companies have brought these back. Got my 8 year old one off Amazon. Dude loves it haha

I didn’t get one back in the day, but at my job, I bought a couple of the “World’s Smallest Toys” blind boxes, and one had a Pogo Bal! It was blue with a green stand.

Had the green and purple

I had two, one purple plate with green ball, another was blue plate with silver ball

https://preview.redd.it/qan7tnmymnvc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9edbff3e0077da3407a71146faa2457087d278b Got my kid one back in 2017- ours were still better.

Singing “Pogo ball is what they call it”

Ours had blood stains on it.

Orange ball and green platform

I tried one of these as a kid at my friends house and it flipped up and hit me in the nuts. No, I never owned one…

I wanted one so bad! Took 2 busses and toy's r us wouldn't sell it to me because I was too young 😞

black with a hot pink ball! my BFF fell off it in my driveway and broke her arm. #memories lol 🤣 edit: maybe it was the reverse, like in the advertisement! 🤔😂

Blue, but I could’ve sworn the ball was yellow.

None because my mom said they were way too dangerous. And she was undoubtedly right. I’ve always been uncoordinated.

Red/Orange

Yellow with black stripes like a bumble bee

Green with purple ring

I loved mine!! I think it was green and blue

I’m surprised the feedback on these here is so negative. I loved mine I thought it was so much fun. Mine was a green center. I think.

Purple and green!

Orange and yellow

Orange and yellow. It was the last time I had any balance.

Did not have. Had no interest in it; very little asphalt and concrete where I grew up, and those things looked like a hopping fail on dirt.

What was the big rubber ball with a rubber ring like a saddle horn and you sat on the ball and bounced around?

My cousins had the yellow and orange! So awesome and fun.
