Zorbing

One of my very first taste of extreme sports that can be found in Singapore, to my delightful surprise. I went Zorbing with 3 friends on a rainy Sunday afternoon during one of the open sessions held by Zovb Singapore.

Zorbing is very basically 2 people in a hamster ball. With the rain, it became 2 people in a washing machine. My friend and I were strapped into this giant inflated bouncy ball and rolled down the muddy hill behind the old MGS by the pretty muscular Zovb staff.

Muscular men in the background. Faces blurred for privacy.

How did it feel?
Dizzy. Dizzy. Dizzy.
Puke.

But after enduring that washing machine ride, here's where the fun starts. No muscular staff to roll you back up the hill, so you and your buddy will need to coordinate to roll yourself back up that hill, just like a hamster. Imagine crawling on all fours, tumbling over each other in a little bouncy ball, rolling 10cm forward and 1m back. Only hilarity and sweat can ensue.

It was great fun overall, and I definitely burnt enough calories to avoid exercising for the next month. Mainly from all the laughing.

Evidently, it is raining.

So if you're too bored in Singapore, try giving zorbing a go. Understand why your hamsters can spend hours on that stationary wheel. It's a great experience!

Cost: $$$ (student price was $35 for 2 rolls. Adult price: $50)
Fun: :))))
