an accident in a zorb?Mike No, I haven’t. It isn’t dangerous at all. It’s great fun!Adam Did you invent it?Mike No, I didn’t. The idea comes from New Zealand.Adam Have you ever been to New Zealand?Mike Yes, I have. Zorbing is very popular with young people there. Adam Right. Do people need special clothes for zorbing?Mike Not really. A pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Or a swimming
costume if you want to try hydro-zorbing.Adam What’s hydro-zorbing?Mike It’s the same as zorbing, but we put some water into the
zorb. It’s a bit like a washing machine!Adam What?! You guys are nuts!
Well, now I’ve tried zorbing! And it really is fantastic! I want to
do other exciting things now. I’ve never done a bungee jump,
for example, and I haven’t ridden a horse … What about you?
