snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I wouldn't fancy driving right after getting pushed down a hill in one of those things. Link to post Share on other sites
rachael 0 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Looks like a whole lot of fun that does (if it stops!) Link to post Share on other sites

OzOzOz 2 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I've tried the Zorb - it was good fun rolling down the hill in there. Theres some that have water in the middle too so you get real wet - feel like you're in a washing machine Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 On Venice Beach CA, I got strapped into one of those gyroscopic whirl-you-around things. I felt queasy and sick for an hour or more afterwards and lots of very unkind Americans laughed their fat asses off when I staggered down from the thing. I had to drink a lot of beer to get over the trauma. I expect riding the Zorb would result in similar unpleasantness. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Speaking of the Discovery Channel i saw a doco yesterday about slow motion recording. It was cool and interesting. Things look completely different when slowed down. They had all kinds of things like water ballons, grenades, a bullet being shot. All very interesting indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I tried one of them- great fun. A bit worrying that they can stop the thing though... Link to post Share on other sites
