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.
Nice electric skateboard

Robert Thomson skateboarded thousands of kilometers around the world.
The Pumgo skateboard is a kick-less skateboard where the rider pumps the board back and forth to propel themselves forward.
It kind of looks like a seesaw for your feet.
Apparently the Pumgo is not only fun to ride, but it also gives your core muscles a great workout.
Riding it requires core strength to remain balanced while pumping the Pumgo back and forth.

The Trikke is a pretty sweet cross between a scooter and skates.
While the methods of propelling it are a bit tricky for me to describe, it doesn't look very hard to use, and you can get going fairly fast.
Now that they have released the Tribred and the E-Kit it it is even easier to get around faster.
The Tribred is a Trikke with a little added bonus. You can propel it yourself, with the electric motor, or you can do both.
The E-Kit is for current Trikke owners who want to make theirs electric. The Tribred and Trikkes with the E-Kit installed can go up to 17 mph for up to 12 miles.

This is a sweet 3 wheeled electric skateboard that was converted from a Mongoose mountainboard.
I have always wanted to try sandboarding or sand sledding. I imagine that you would get sand everywhere, but I think it would be worth it, especially after watching these videos.
The people sand sledding in this video are FLYING down that dune. I couldn't believe they were actually going 75 mph. I can't imagine going that fast down a sand dune!
The dune in this video, called Cerro Blanco, is HUMONGOUS. I had no idea that there were sand dunes out there that big. It looks like it would be a long, long, long hike up, but an unforgettable ride down!
The Kitewing and Dirtsurfer are a match made in heaven!
This is an awesome pick showing that you can get big air with the Kitewing!
The Kitewing is awesome, and so is this picture!
