Why Is Zorbing Popular?

You might have watched a strange scene that a giant transparent ball rolls down a hill while there is a person inside this ball. If you think it sounds crazy, you may be right, but this kind of sport is really fun by the way.

Why do people love zorbing?

Zorbing, one of extreme sports, which allows people to roll downhill inside a giant ball generally made of clear plastic, is gaining massive popularity. If you have not tried zorbing, you may find it a little bit boring and do not know why people are fond of it.

The history of zorbing

In fact, zorbing is a relatively young kind of sport activity. The idea of getting into the ball and roll down a hill was firstly mapped out by Dwane van der Sluis in 1973. The prototype of zorb ball was relatively smaller compared to a modern zorb ball. It was said that the first zorb ball was designed to be an alternative of the snowboarding. Then Dwayne van der Slyuys and Andrew Akers from New Zealand improved the zorb ball and zorbing had become a business. They improved the size of zorb balls and improved the construction so that this remarkable clear ball can be a surge.

The most common zorb balls we see are double-sectioned. You can see there is one smaller ball inside the other with an air layer in between. The air layer can be a buffer against the impact and that’s why zorbing is called a less dangerous extreme sport. People like the thrills zorbing gives to us. Currently, there are several types of zorbing and you can even try zorbing on water or on snow.

It is very difficult to maintain freshness every single day and that may be the reason people choose zorbing to seek the thrills. For more information about zorbing and zorb balls, you can now visit Kameymall to check the news and products we picked for you.
