Zorb Ball

The Zorb Ball is a double hulled sphere, with one ball inside the other with an air layer in between. This acts as a shock absorber for the Zorbanout, leveling out bumps while traveling. It also allows for a much more light-weight Zorb Ball made of flexible plastic, as opposed to the rigid plastic of a hamster ball. Many Zorb's have straps to hold the rider in place, while others leave the rider free to walk the sphere around or be tossed about freely by the rolling motion. A typical spheres is about 9 feet across, with an inner sphere size of about 6 feet, leaving a 30 inch air cushion around the rides. The plastic is approximately 0.8 mm thick. The inner and outer sphere are connected by numerous (often hundreds) of small ropes. Zorb Balls generally have one or two tunnel-like entrances. The plastic used is affected by temperature, so spheres cannot be used when temperatures fall below approximately 30 degrees.
