The ZORB™ experience

All types of unusual sports are popular nowadays. Active and energetic people often want to keep fit and take risks or have a big adventure. They will try extreme sports such as ZORB™ globe riding to do something different and exciting to keep fit.

If the idea of going down a hill in a big transparent ball sounds fun, then the ZORB™ experience could be for you. It might not be everyone's idea of fun, but the ZORB™ experience is becoming very popular in America and many European countries.

ZORB™ globe riding was created in New Zealand. There are two types of ZORB™ globes. You always sit inside a big see-through ball. The first type is called the Harness ZORB™ globe: you go down a hill in this, rolling over and over in a secure harness that resembles a chair. The other type is called the Hydro ZORB™ globe: a few bucketfuls of water are put inside the globe and you slide around from side to side. The first type is probably more extreme, because you go a bit faster and roll with the ZORB™ globe, but the Hydro ZORB™ ride is probably a bit more fun. It's like a water adventure mixed with a roller-coaster experience. In both rides you can get to speeds of between 20-30 miles per hour.

People who have tried ZORB™ globe riding say they love it. They always come back for another go, and they bring their friends along to try it because it's so different. It really is an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately, you can't buy your own ZORB™ globe. The only way to get your hands on one is to become a licensed ZORB™ franchisee.

ZORB™ Ltd say: 'We need to be sure that all ZORB™ globes are used in the safest possible way and that people do not hurt themselves. You need a specialised course, experience, the correct equipment, and trained assistants to do ZORB™ globe riding. We therefore only sell ZORB™ globes to licensed franchisees.'
