Want to find something to do this Labor Day weekend? For those of you in the Southern California area, Knott’s Berry Farm, home to the beloved Snoopy and his Peanuts gang, will be hosting the 3rd Annual Vurtego World Championships of Pogo Sticking.

Twenty expert pogo stickers will showcase their talent and skills in a multi-event competition, which takes place on Monday, Sept. 1. Events will include the Free Ride, the High Jump and the challenging Obstacle Course. Guests to the park will have a chance to watch some of the most talented pogo stickers in North America, several of whom have been featured on television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, America’s Got Talent, Late Show with David Letterman and The Today Show.

Over the past few years, pogo sticks have evolved from childhood toys to innovative, action sport equipment. The new technology has help to elevate the sport from mere child’s play to a hard-core, high-bouncing sport. The use of lightweight air springs helps propel athletes as high as 8 feet into the air. These technological improvements also mean that these daredevils can do some impressive flips and tricks, like jumping over cars! “This is really a brand new sport that’s really as urban as it gets. It will be fun to watch it grow,” says Brian Spencer, founder of Vurtego Pogo Sticks, which will be sponsoring the event, and host of Planet X, a nationally syndicated action sports TV show.

The event begins at 11 a.m. in Calico Square in the Ghost Town area of Knott’s Berry Farm. Audience members will also have a chance to participate in some pogo stick competitions and have the opportunity to win prizes.

Entrance to the competition is included with park admission. To purchase tickets or learn more about Knott’s Berry Farm, visit knotts.com.
