    I was gonna try this a few years ago because it was offered at my mom's company picnic, but then I realized like most dangerous things people do, it was silly. I don't have any plans to jump out of a plane or off a bridge either.

    I saw some guys zorbing down this... well it wasn't even a hill, maybe a small incline. The best way to zorb is to do it drunk. Take a can of beer in there with you and then you throw some water in there and away you go.

    There's no place to zorb in my area. Where do I find a place to zorb? New York residency, you fail me.

    Back in the day we used to go to the park and dump all the trash out of the metal trash cans then roll down the hill in the trash cans. We called it trashcanning, and that's what immediately came to mind while watching this.

    Trashcaning is to zorbing as American football is to rugby. I totally want to go zorb it out with my BFFs some day though.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Zorbing is awesome fun! My grandparents lived 10 minutes away from the birthplace of the zorb, so yeah.

    In a cruel twist of fate (or intelligence), nana was unable to fit inside the zorb.

    You just provided the setup for a tasteless joke that I will not tell here.
