Zorbing<\/h2>\n

\"Zorbing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever see a hamster run around inside a little ball? \u00a0Well, zorbing is like that, but for people. \u00a0The outdoor activity puts people inside a transparent plastic ball that is inside another\u00a0transparent plastic ball then\u00a0rolls them down a hill for distances of up to a half mile. \u00a0Zorbing can also take place on flat ground where the rider can propel the orb by walking inside of it. \u00a0\u00a0Unlike a hamster ball, zorbs are made of light weight, flexible plastic that offers plenty of padding for the rider. \u00a0In some incarnations, the zorb rider may be strapped into a seat rather than bouncing around inside the sphere.<\/p>\n

Special venues and events for zorbing are located around the world. \u00a0For example the Extreme Zorbing – Northern Ireland Adventureland Weekend<\/a> coming up on March 29. As with most outdoor activities, there are those that prefer competition. \u00a0There have been Zorb\u00a0soccer\u00a0games, zorb\u00a0bowling and a couple\u00a0of zorb events\u00a0in the Guiness Book of World Records. \u00a0 The following video will give you some idea of what a zorb ride is like.<\/p>\n
