Sphereing Experience Days, Zorbing

Be prepared to experience a new and exciting adventure as you delve into the world of sphereing. Sphereing combines hurtling speed and gravity defying tumbling in an adrenaline-soaked experience that is sure to leave your heart racing. You enter a large blow-up ball, get strapped into the middle and brace yourself as you are rolled into a variety of exhilarating scenarios.

Sphereing can be done individually or, as two people can be strapped into a ball at one time, with a friend, making it perfect for parties, special occasions or for a group of mates to enjoy. Perhaps this can put the ‘spin’ back into your relationship as you take your partner on a wild and exciting adventure day you will never forget. Choose from a handful of different inflatable-ball experiences that include water, wind and a plunge into darkness. All experience days are available for under £100, and for that price it is an experience that thrill-seekers will be stupid to miss!

There are a range of different types of experiences on offer, and thrill-seekers can pick one or combine packages for a fun packed adventure day.

• Harness Sphereing
  This is the most popular sphereing experience. You will be strapped into a large inflatable ball and chucked down a big hill, where you will reach speeds of up to 30mph. Be prepared to have your senses, as well as the strength of your stomach, tested as you roll and spin in an ever increasing decline before stopping in a dizzy, adrenaline rushed heap at the bottom of the hill. Prices start from less than £50 and locations can be found across the country.
  
  
• Aqua Sphereing
  Are you still ‘thirsty’ for more thrill-seeking fun? Well, climb back up the hill and ask for a go in the Aqua Sphere! The preparation will be very similar to the first run, UNTIL your inflatable ball begins to fill with water! Hurtling to the bottom of the hill will then become a very different experience as the water soaking fun begins. Water will slosh and spin on and around you as you plummet to the bottom of the mount, leaving you drenched by the time you reach the bottom. It is the perfect remedy for a hot summer’s day, leaving you refreshed and pumped from the wild ride. Expect to pay a little bit more to enjoy the Aqua Sphereing package, but you certainly won’t be complaining at the end of your experience.
  
  
• Air Sphereing
  Now are you ready for something completely different? Air Sphereing brings your inflatable ball indoors and into a VERTICAL WIND TUNNEL! Your sphereing experience now becomes a different occasion altogether, as your inflatable ball spins, twists and bounces in winds of up to 150mph. After being rolled into the vertical wind tunnel, your ball will sit nervously on top of a large wind-generating fan. Hold your breath and anxiously wait until the moment that the fan generates wind that surges you upwards in a twisting, swirling lunge into the air. The ball will then stay elevated in the air and continue to twirl and weave. Be warned, however, as the exhilarating, dizzying experience can be addictive. Expect to pay upwards of £70 for this breath of fresh air, but it is worth every penny for a thrill ride adventure that you will not forget.
• Eclipse Sphereing
  Just when you think you have experienced it all, along comes Eclipse Sphereing. Similar to its harnessed cousin, you enter the ball and begin to get strapped in. Then, suddenly, everything becomes dark! The blackout ball is designed to remove your sense of sight, leaving you in blind free-fall to the bottom of the hill. Where will the ball go next? Are you still rolling or have you stopped? Are you still upside down? The dizzying adventure takes another twist as the darkness adds to the thrill of the experience. Again, you should expect to pay upwards of £70 but you will be left with the memory of an experience like no other, as the world’s more bizarre extreme sport will leave you wanting more.

The Sphereing experience days are available throughout the country, but make sure to check what each centre has to offer beforehand. The Harness Sphereing can be found across the UK; from Cornwall to Newcastle, Berkshire to Manchester and Newquay to Nottingham, you can experience the standard package wherever you are. Locations are also available in Wales and Scotland, so there is never far to travel for this thrilling extreme sport.

If you are looking for a more specialist day out, such as the Aqua or Air Sphereing experience, then it is worth calling ahead. Aqua Sphereing is currently available in most locations, but the Air Sphereing can only be experienced in Milton Keynes and Manchester currently, although there are plans to expand other centres. The Eclipse Sphereing is currently available in a few locations including Chester, Hertfordshire, Nottingham and Scotland, but again it will not be long before more centres offer the blackout fun.

Once you arrive at your preferred location, you will be shown to your ball where a short safety speech will be given and you will be guided to your harness. The price includes the minimum of one roll down the hill (or vertically into the air in the case of Air Sphereing), but package deals can be bought that offer a number of rolls or experiences to suit varying tastes. Ride the ball alone or take a partner for added fun and ‘safety’ in numbers. Sphereing season is typically from April to September, so be sure to plan ahead to enjoy the experience for all it is worth.

Any thrill-seeker will need to try this unique and extreme experience at least once in their lifetime, as the activity offers adrenaline-packed fun that you will never forget. Bounce, twist, roll, spin and hurtle your way towards your new favourite summer activity; sphereing is a sensation not to be missed!
