Rolling in a Zorb

Upon hearing about my most recent knee injury, MAKE (and CRAFT) contributor Andrew Lewis asked if I might consider “zorbing” (video) as an alternative mode of transportation. I had to look it up, and found out it’s a New Zealand-born “sport” of rolling down hills in a spherical plastic balloon, inflated with leaf blowers. It makes me wonder why we don’t have a zorb track at Maker Faire!

Oh, and don’t miss Andrew’s awesome bourbon chicken wings recipe on CRAFT.
