Let the Zorbing begin
Zorbing is one of the newer extreme sport pastimes to make the extreme sports list. Pod London is Europe’s premier zorbing destination and has an entire park dedicated to it. Sorry, I should start off with explaining what zorbing exactly is. Zorbing or to zorb is when an individual is placed in a large inflatable ball with two layers of cushions and rolls down and bounces down a steep hill. Sound fun, I’m sure the head rush is insane.
