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.

Pumgo Skateboard: No Kicking Required

By Action Isle • Mar 17th, 2009 • Category: Everything Else

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.

Tribred: Electric Trikke

By Action Isle • Mar 16th, 2009 • Category: Everything Else

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.

Wow – Sandboarding/Sand Sledding Videos Worth Watching

By Action Isle • Mar 4th, 2009 • Category: Everything Else

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!
