The day I have waited for finally arrived. today (Jul 26th) I was at the Gemas Golf resort, germas where this orbling event was held.
Orbing (or Zorbing), a crazy sport invented by the crazy Kiwis at New Zealand. An Orb Ball is an inflated rubber ball where you and your friend will be strapped/harnessed inside the ball and roll down a hill. This one I attended is 250m downhill.
My verdict? Thrilling,exciting and yet scary. I was told the wet orbling is even more fun. what they do is to add a pail of water inside the orb. I should have tried, but then I was just recovering from the after shock effect of the orb to consider. well maybe another time and maybe not.
At least I have gone through this experience of having tried this. This is one of those things I wanted to do before I hit 60 .
WOW!!! You have guts and the gung-ho spirit. Alas, I cannot try such challenging sports because I suffered a serious spinal injury from a hiking accident. The road to recovery took two years and I have only just resumed hiking two months ago.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Your zest for life and its adventures is certainly inspiring.
