Record Jumper

Pogo sticks stormed the country in the 1920s. The New York Hippodrome chorus girls performed entire shows on them, and couples exchanged marriage vows while bouncing up and down. Jumping contests were held, and world records were set. Most consecutive jumps on a pogo stick? 177,737. That one from Gary Stewart in Huntington Beach, Calif. It took him more than 20 hours to set the record.
