Sphereing - Prices, Locations and Information
What do hills, hamsters and washing machines all have in common? They all inspired the activity sport of rolling down hills in huge inflatable balls - welcome to the wonderful world of Sphereing®!
Go Sphereing in the UK!
So what is Sphereing®? Wikipedia defines it as ‘the recreational practice of humans rolling downhill in a sphere, generally made of transparent plastic’. It’s a good definition too, but if it’s still unclear then it pretty much resembles being inside a huge washing machine, feeling the centrifugal force work through your whole body, giving you an experience of a lifetime, which is at the same time fast, exhilarating, terrifying – basically a huge adrenaline rush.
Sphereing® is generally done on a hillside but there are also special metal ramps for it in places where there are no hills. It can also be done in the air inside a vertical wind tunnel and there’s also a mellower version of Sphereing® with no straps and some water inside the ball, making the ride a bit of wet fun, fit for the whole family.
Most spheres are designed for two people who can enjoy the ride (and each other’s fear) simultaneously, but with Aqua Sphereing® three people can enjoy the fun at the same time, and some spheres have also been constructed for solo performance.
So, what is a sphere? It’s a 158kg plastic ball (that's 25 stone!) – about 12 feet tall. Inside the big ball, there’s another, smaller ball which makes up the 6-foot chamber where you ride. The smaller ball is attached to the outer shell by around one thousand nylon straps and there’s about 3-foot air cushion between the two.
The whole thing weighs about 167kg when empty, but don’t let the size and weight fool you – it can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour in less than 35 seconds. While rolling down the hill, you make around 20 rotations and can roll as far as half a mile – permitted the track is that long.
