Zorbing...
Have any of you heard of this...apparently its the new thing to do. I can't imagine rolling down a hill inside a big plastic ball. I need to see this in person.
Sphereing is the practice of humans traveling in a sphere, generally made of transparent plastic, usually for fun.
Sphereing is generally performed on a gentle slope, allowing the rider to roll downhill, but sphereing can also be done on a level surface, permitting more rider control, as well as on water. In the absence of hills, at least one vendor has begun constructing metal ramps[1]. Most spheres are constructed for a single rider, but some hold two or three. The longer runs are approximately half a mile. - thanks wikipedia

You should watch the Peter Gabriel Growing Up tour video. He zorbs onstage, but I'm not sure that he knew it was called that back in '03...
Yes i went on this recently and i loved it! i had the water in the sphere with me and it made me feel like i was in a washing machine, but still, such great fun! i recommend it to anyone!
