Abstract: Disclosed is a pedestal support apparatus. The disclosed apparatus includes an inner tubular element that is telescopically received into an outer tubular element. A shock-absorber element is positioned within the chambers created by the inner tubular element and outer tubular element. A bearing element is positioned between the inner tubular element and outer tubular element. The bearing element serves to facilitate relative movement between the inner and outer tubular elements. The bearing element also acts to fix the inner tubular element and outer tubular element in rotational position relative to each other.
