The Zorb Extreme Backyard Inflatable
February 6th, 2008 by BallerHouse
You may have seen the Zorb on Road Rules New Zealand back in the day. At the time, it could only be found in New Zealand. But now, this extreme inflatable riding sphere is penetrating other locations throughout the globe, allowing riders to tumble down hills and across water without a scratch. You can even purchase your own Zorbing Ball.
The Zorb is constructed from two transparent skins, separated by an inflatable area, with tubes between the two layers that allow the rider to breathe. The inflatable area provides enough padding and buoyancy that you can ride the Zorb down a bumpy hill or float it down a river. If you’d prefer to walk on water, you can do that too (think moving hamster wheel). And if you’re worried about losing your lunch, apparently over 100,000 people have used the Zorb and no one has ever vomited.
The company that makes the Zorb will only sell them to licensed operators. However we found a dealer that has knocked off the Zorb and sells models for $1900 which you can purchase through BallerToys. If you’d rather just try the Zorb, you can do that at any of Zorb’s licensed franchise locations around the world.
