Haha - yeah - or try this... the hole is always open so you've got no problem with air - also the Zorb's rotating once every 10 metres or so (30 feet) so although you're going downhill pretty fast - you're not spinning around that quickly - over 7,500 Zorbonauts in Rotorua, New Zealand - no-one's thrown up.
Oh - think again - it's in Sweden now - or at least we have a Master Franchise for Scandinavia - he lives in Denmark - check out the page... http://www.zorb.com/scandinavia.htm
Yeah - but if you take a 1 metre cut (as long as the whole thing's not bouncing which it doesn't where we use it) then it still takes a fair bit of time to deflate - works kind of like a stuntman's airbag
Haha - yeah but consider this... the only reason it rolls in the first place is 'cos it's round and inflated right - so if it starts to deflate - it stops being so round, and... stops rolling - perfecto! Besides there's about 13 cubic metres of air in these babys so it sure takes a while to deflate.
Hehe - ok folks - nice to see all this interest in these babys. Let's see if I can answer your questions: 1. Yeah selling them is a major issue - in the interests of safety and quality and control and all that stuff - we have been setting up Master Franchises in other countries around the world and leasing the Zorbs - this works really well. So now all I need is someone with some cash and some smarts to call me up and say... "hey Andrew let's do this right in the USA." 2. ummm what else did you want to know - well I'll tell you what if you want to discuss specific points with me - e-mail me from http://www.zorb.com or I'll be online as "zorb-boy" if you want to chat at http://www.xtrachat.co.nz for a few hours. Adios
