I've not got to master the pogo stick AS WELL have I? This is starting to look a bad idea 8-)
On a similar front, anyone any idea how well Space Hopper Jousting would work?

No you don't have to master the pogo stick. You don't even have to try it. 
In fact I think that I'm the only that talks about a pogo stick ... Well besides Pogo and that is a completely different subject all together.
Space Hopper Jousting or Space HoPper Jousting. Would that be something like Pigggs iiinnnn Spaaaaccce? But HoPpers that Joust? or would that be hoppers that joust?
