Kiwis, extreme sports and Zorbing

What is it with Kiwis and extreme sports? Why oh why do they feel the need to push themselves to the limits by throwing themselves in and out of things all the time? Is life in New Zealand really that dull that we really need crazy sports like Zorbing?

Personally, we think you’d have to be barking mad to even entertain the idea of climbing into a large, inflatable sphere and then willingly let someone push you down a hill. I can only imagine it feels like you’re trapped inside a washing machine.

Still, not everyone thinks like me as this mad sport is really taking off in the UK with loads of sites springing up all over the country offering zorbing. Oh and the kids tell me it’s not just standard zorbing anymore, you can now choose to roll down that hill in a completely blacked out sphere, or do a tandem zorb or even try one with water sloshing about in it. Now that really is like being on a washing machine spin cycle. Madness.
