Hi,

Apparently, a Zorb and the act of Zorbing is a huge inflated ball, with another ball inside it (with some structural stuff holding them apart) in which people get inside and roll down hills! I'm led to believe its a kiwi invention!

Sigh, we invent so many things that you tend to forget.....

I don't think I have ever seen one, maybe beacuse Christchurch is too flat, and the hills around would be too steep.

Not when you're like me and suffer from motion sickness. [img:02942021e2]http://www.kolobok.wrg.ru/smiles/standart/bad.gif[/img:02942021e2]

Very expensive for just 5 mins. fun, isn't it? [img:02942021e2]http://www.kolobok.wrg.ru/smiles/standart/nea.gif[/img:02942021e2] Someone must be making a good living anyway.

No Mother Bear, you miss the point.

[b:103e9a8adc]Children[/b:103e9a8adc] go Zorbing, and when THEY are sick YOU laugh.

Also, if NOT sick (have to admit mine, and the hanger on friends were not) you get reputation of "good egg" for paying for it.

The zig zag at Rotorua is very funny!!!!! Especially when the larger members go a long way and nearly exit the whole thing at the bottom!

So who's that Jay guy in the Herald article? :icon_wink:

I think I'll pass on the giant hamster ball.
