What You Need To Know About Zorbing

How many of you can imagine being put inside a giant plastic ball rolling down a hill? I am sure this description might appeal to some people, but it sounds odd to others. This is one of the craziest sports of the 21st century with worldwide popularity and it is called zorbing.

Crazy zorbing

This crazy sport known as zorbing or globe riding originated in New Zealand, home to some of the craziest sports in the world. In this sport, people go downhill in a sphere, usually made of clear plastic. Zorbing is usually done on gentle slopes. It has more control when the rider is finishing on level surfaces.

How many types are zorb balls?

There are two types of spheres, harnessed and non-harnessed. Sometimes non-harnessed balls can carry up to three riders, while harnessed balls are built for one to two riders. Zorbing can be performed on different types of surfaces, individually or in groups. The first zorbing site was established by David and Andrew Akers in Rotorua, New Zealand. In addition to New Zealand, zorbing is very popular in other countries like the United Kingdom.

A zorb ball is a large ball that actually consists of two balls, one inside the other. This ball is made of very flexible plastic. The outer ball is about three meters wide and the inner ball is about two meters wide. The player can slide into the inner ball through a small opening and is held in place by straps. The ball then takes off from a gentle slope. Zorbing can be done on straight track, Zigzag track, descending track. Zorbing can also be done by more than one person at one point in time. Experienced zorbing players can try stunts on steep inclines. Once inside the ball, the rider can loosen the straps, enabling one to fly around inside the ball, tossed by the rolling motion. You can also pour a bucket some water into the ball for more joy.

The ultimate joy of zorbing cannot be described by simple words. If you want to get more information about zorb balls, you can now visit Kameymall and browse through all kinds of zorb balls we made for you.
