Zorbs For Sale

By Action Isle • Jul 27th, 2009 • Category: Everything Else

If you have ever wondered, "where can I buy a Zorb?' (don't know what a Zorb is? Read about Zorbs here)

After doing some research I have found that you really can't buy an official Zorb. Why? Because the REAL zorbs are only sold to official Zorb locations. So unless you are planning on starting a Zorbing location, you can't buy an official Zorb ball.

However, you can buy imitation and Zorb knock off balls on eBay.

Xootr – The “Rolls-Royce” Of Scooters

By Action Isle • Jul 22nd, 2009 • Category: Featured

Just like the Rolls Rolls could be called the "Rolls-Royce" of longboards, the Xootr could easily be called the "Rolls-Royce" of scooters.

What sets the Xootr apart from the rest? It's a well built scooter that is perfect for effortlessly gliding along. While Xootrs aren't necessarily made for freestyle riding, they are made for cruising the streets.

The wheels on the Xootr offer as little friction as possible so that when you kick, you can glide for a long ways. That means you don't have to kick as much, because you can go longer and faster with each kick

A Xootr would be a great scooter for cruising and urban transport. Currently, Xootr makes several different models of Xootrs that vary in style and performance.

To me it looks like it is very well made, and would be a really nice and FAST scooter for cruising and urban transport (which is exactly what they are made for). A downside I can see though, is I doubt the wheels would handle cracks or bumps very well.

What do you think of the Xootr? Rate how cool you think it is below and leave a comment!
