Zorb: Roll down a hill in a giant ball

By Action Isle • Apr 13th, 2008 • Category: Everything Else

Forget rolling down a hill in a giant rubber wheel, or a trashcan, that's a thing of the past. Now you can roll down a hill in style, by getting in a giant sized air cushioned ball called the Zorb.

As it reads from the official Zorb web site http://www.zorb.com/,

"Zorb is the sport of rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball and where New Zealand, once again leads the world in stupid things to do while you're on a vacation."

I'm not surprised that the Zorb was created in New Zealand. New Zealand is the home of many outdoor and action sport enthusiasts and attracts many more in tourism each year. As for this being "stupid"? I think it's more stupid to bomb down a hill in a trash can, the Zorb is a body saver. Imagine all that cushion.

Would I Zorb down a hill? Without a doubt yes!
