A zorb ball is a giant ball filled with air, in which people roll down a hill. It is a rather new sport. You can compare it to the famous toy for hamsters. It is also similar to the water-equivalent where children can run around on the water, using a rolling ball full of air. A zorb ball however doesn't have any water involved.

A Gigaball is very similar to a Zorb ball but smaller. A Zorb Ball is a large spherical ball made out of flexible plastic, it consists of two layers (the outer layer is used as a shock absorber and in between the two layers is just air). The practice of Zorbing is done using Zorb Balls. You normally enter the Zorb ball through a hole in the side, you then sit in the ball and roll down a slope in it.
Zorbing was invented in New Zealand in the 1990's by Dwane van der Sluis and Andrew Akers. Go to http://www.theogo.com for a complete history and timeline of the activity of zorbing.
