Zorbing
Zorbing is a new exciting sport. A zorb itself is a huge plastic ball (3-3,5 metres tall) which contains another ball. There is a small entrance hole so you can squeeze into the smaller ball. The ball rolls down the hill and so do you. A zorb can reach up to 50-60 km an hour when it’s rolling down.
Zorbing was invented in the 1990s just for fun. Now it is very popular in New Zealand, Australia and in many other countries.
Zorbing is very safe. You are strapped inside the ball, and there is a cushion of air between you and the ground. All people from children to their grandparents can do it. Kids are usually braver than their parents.
