MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 1: The Latest Style of Skateboard

There is a new skateboard in town and it's called PUMGO! This board is the first human-powered board that you don’t have to push off the ground. It looks just like a skateboard with a deck and four wheels, but it has springs to help you lead. The springs connect from the deck to the wheels and allow your feet to move them by pumping the deck. It’s push-free!

PUMGO is a safe and fun exercise for everyone ages 7 and up. Rick Mayo is a master fitness trainer who took PUMGO for a spin and declared it an efficient toy for strengthening your stomach muscles, lower back and legs. PUMGO allows you to work your upper body and legs while you balance on the board, cruise down the streets and have fun!

This is not the first time PUMGO has hit the streets. It became known at the end of 2004 as part of the 2004 Super Show semifinals “Product of the Year,” declared by the Sporting Goods Manufacturer’s Association in Orlando, Florida. It was also promoted as one of the best toys in 2005 at the New York International Toy Fair. PUMGO has also been advertised in several magazines, newspapers, and TV broadcasts like The Washington Times, Time for Kids, Fox and CBS.
