    Looks good, but for commuting the bike is probably quicker :wink:

    I did it in New Zealand with a wet zorb (basically you can be strapped in, or you can just bounce around inside with a bit of warm water for lubrication). It was - OK. Not sure if the strapped in version might have been better. Glad I did it, but wasn't the most exciting thing I've done.

    I haven't, but my son has. He loved it, but then he was 12. I wasn't there at the time. My wife said he was a bit green when he got out and covered in sweat.

    I did it a few years ago with an ex - I loved it, she was very ill after a particularly harsh bounce and couldn't really move around for about an hour without risk of throwing up.

    We were strapped in, which was very disorientating as you really roll over and over. Not sure you get that as much with the 'wet' version as you just slosh about in the bottom.

    Great fun - give it a go!

    Looks a little too sandle-wearing-hippy for my liking. A little like Planking, Owling and Campag Athena.

    Is it fun?
