This large inflatable ball called zorb has become a common sight today even in big cities. It was invented in the 1990s as a fun way to walk on water. However, soon it turned out to be even better on land. As a result, a new extreme activity was born. Since then zorbing has spread all over the world. It’s quite simple: you climb inside a plastic double-walled ball and roll down a hill, head over heels. Today there are two types of zorb: dry and wet. In the first type you are securely strapped inside a large inflatable ball while you roll down a hill. Zorbonauts say that they experience the same sensation of weightlessness as astronauts in space. In the hydro zorb there is no harness but a bucket of water is thrown in and you slide and slip inside feeling as if you were inside a washing machine. This definitely gives you an adrenaline rush. The downside is that it’s more like a one-time activity rather than a hobby you pick up.

Kiiking is probably one of the most unusual and young kinds of sport. It was invented in Estonia in 1996. ‘Kiik’ means a ‘swing’ in Estonian language. The aim of this sport is to do a 360-degree turn over the cross-bar while standing on a trapeze-like swing which is gradually extended. This increases the challenge as the longer the swing gets, the more difficult it is to turn over. The winner is the person who manages to swing the full circle on the longest swing. The record of 7m 03cm was set in 2012. The rules of the competitions are very tough. Competitors are not allowed to have a second try with the same length of the swing, so every try has to be successful. It’s a fair sport which requires concentration, physical strength and strategic planning.

People doing board sports have proved extremely inventive. Surfers who couldn’t go surfing because the ocean was flat, took to the streets and started skateboarding. Skateboarders went further on to the snow slopes inventing snowboarding. The trend continued and today there is a long list of board sports including sandboarding. Sandboarding is based on the same principle as snowboarding, but instead of snow-covered mountains, it takes place on sand dunes. To avoid injuries it’s advisable to wear a helmet and knee and elbow pads. Sandboarding is not as popular as snowboarding because it’s difficult to build a lift on a sand dune so sportsmen have to walk back up to the top. But there is a benefit: this kind of sport can take you around the world to find a suitable place for doing it.
