IceDragon Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I saw this a few years back and really wanted to do it, but I was unfortunately "too young" to do it (miserable assholes). So this year my parents treated me and a friend to two rolls. Basically, you get strapped into a huge hamster ball and pushed down the side of a hill, reaching speeds of up to 30mph while tumbling over and over... Great fun! The first run we did was in a harness. We both got strapped in and were pushed down the hill. It wasn't fully inflated, so we lost quite a bit of speed and the wind was blowing against us, rather than with us, so we lost about 5mph that way. It basically felt like a flat tyre rolling down a hill. There's no other explanation, but wierd in a good way. The second run we did was without harnesses, but with water and bubble bath in the ball with you. We got it, they sloshed their "ingredients" in shortly after, completely drenching us, then we were told to run as fast as we could while they pushed. Eventually, we both ended up falling on top of each other, half drowning in foam laughing our asses off. We were sure we would break a bone or two in the process, but the most damage we got was cold... And I mean cold. Would I do it again? f*ck yeah. Anytime soon? No. the novelty would wear off too quickly. All I can say is, if you live in England, or Brighton to be more precise, look up Orb360, It's expensive, but well worth it!

Goliath513 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 This looks awesome. I have always wanted to do one of these. Too bad they don't have them (at least that I know of) in the US.
Coasterlvr_nc Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Theyre not in America for a reason: they arent idiot proof yet.... Someone would try, and succeed to cut a hole in the orb, having it deflate and them suffocate inside, then their family would sue.... thats why
