Zorbing


What is zorbing?


Zorbing (also known as globe-riding, sphereing, orbing) is the recreation or sport of rolling downhill inside an orb, typically made of transparent plastic. Zorbing is generally performed on a gentle slope but can also be done on a level surface, permitting more rider control. In the absence of hills, some operators have constructed inflatable, wooden, or metal ramps. Due to the buoyant nature of the orbs, Zorbing can also be carried out on water, provided the orb is inflated properly and sealed once the rider is inside. "Water walking" using such orbs has become popular in theme parks across the UK.


Check out some zorbing videos


There are two types of orbs: harnessed and non-harnessed. Non-harnessed orbs carry up to three riders, while the harnessed orbs are constructed for one to two riders. The first zorbing site was established in Rotorua, New Zealand, by ZORB Ltd.

ZORB:

A zorb is actually two separate balls, both made of flexible plastic.The outer ball is around 9 feet (2.7 m) 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The inner ball, which can accommodate one to three passengers. The zorb tumbled into existence in the mid-1990s in New Zealand,hitting the extrem­e sport scene in 1998.

 

What has now become a worldwide phenomenon is a simple ride inside a plastic ball down a grassy -- or even snowy – slope. In areas where there are no natura­l hills. Although zorbing takes place on land, it can be a wet and wild experience when water is added to inside of the ball for the ride. A zorb may look like a hamster ball, but they're not alike.


First of all, a hamster ball is made of rigid plastic.The hamster runs along the inside of the ball to move it forward. A zorb, on the other hand, rolls on its own -- pulled by gravity down a slope. The passenger can try to remain upright and run as the zorb turns, but few are successful. In fact, it's such a challenge to remain upright in a rolling zorb that many zorbing facilities award a T-shirt to anyone who manages to remain on two feet throughout the ride.
