What is Zorbing

Zorbing is an “extreme sport” of sorts, (although there isn’t really that much in the way of danger to it as you are cushioned by around 60cm of air) where you get into a ball and roll down a hill in it.

The idea of Zorbing is that you enter the Zorb (which will be at the top of a hill/slope)  through a hole in the side of the Zorb into an inner ball where you may be strapped into place (some Zorbs allow 2 people to ride together and some are for single riders). Then once in place you will be set to roll down the hill in the Zorb and you will roll your way down the hill. This is Zorbing.

There are other variations where sometimes you may not be strapped in, sometimes you may have a bucket of water thrown in too, this is called Aqua-Zorbing, or you go in a ball that lets no light in so you won’t have a clue where you are heading (well other than knowing that gravity is taking you down).

Zorbing can also be known as Sphereing.
