Looking for the next extreme sport? How about Extreme Pogo Sticking!? All you need is a pogo stick on steroids like the Flybar 1200.

This isn’t your average pogo stick (pro skateboarder Andy Macdonald helped develop it). The Flybar 1200 has a complex spring system consisting of 12 independent rubber thrusters capable of producing 1,200 pounds of power. In case you are wondering, that’s enough to get a 170-pound rider over 5 feet of elevation.

The Flybar 1200 also has extra-wide foot pads, with skateboard grip tape for stability and control. You’ll need that extra stability if you decide to do some backflips. Yep. I said backflips.

You know how everyone at Coolest Gadgets love to have a tipple or two judging by the amount of alcoholic posts that we have made. The new Draughtmaster from Carlsberg will definitely be on top of most mens’ shopping lists this holiday season as you now no longer need to trudge down a cold, long road to the local tavern in order to knock back a few pints with your mates. Instead, you can pull points of lager in the comfort of your own home, although the missus will strongly disapprove of having your friends over as ruining the recently purchased Persian carpet with puke will most definitely be grounds for a divorce.

If you enjoy barbecuing at night you’ll know the problem of not recognizing when your food is black because it’s dark or black because you’ve burnt it to a crisp, this is where the BBQ Night Light comes in (though it is a bit late for us in the UK as barbecue weather is well and truly over).

The barbecue night light illuminates your grill enough to see what you’re cooking without disturbing your guests:

Nothing beats the backyard barbeque soiree – a gentle breeze wafting across the lawn, garden torches flickering, friends and family relaxing, laughing, mingling and chatting over a cool drink in the soft light. It’s all going swimmingly, until it’s time to light the BBQ. BAM! 10,000 watts of spotlight burning everyone’s retinas…way to kill the mood Dad!

The flexible light also incorporates a timer which will remind you to stop chatting up your next door neighbour and go flip the burgers :).

The BBQ Night Light is available from Latest Buy for ~$45.

These will make an interesting addition to any patio or garden, glow in the dark pebbles. By day they look like ordinary stones but at night they glow like radioactive elements.

The pebbles charge up during the day and will glow for up to 6 hours at night, so when you roll in from the pub you’ll be able to see the pathway to stagger down rather than demolishing the nearby flower bed.

You can get 350 glow in the dark pebbles from Collections Etc. for $9.99 [found via eco friend]

Peeing in the wee hours (no pun intended) of the morning is rather problematic for certain segments of the population as they do not have the laser-guided equipment that George Bush Jr. has at his disposal. After all, nobody is at his best frame of mind to calculate complex trigonometry formulas in order to obtain the correct trajectory required to aim in the correct place without wetting the entire toilet seat (with much chagrin to his partner) as well as himself.
