Inventing a Sport
The extreme sport of Hydro-Bungee-Zorbing. This is a sport where you a perform a bungee jump inside a zorb, after you stop bouncing the zorb is released and you fall into a river, you’ll then float down the river for a mile or so before being caught in a net and then rolled down a hill.
Me and some friends were living in hostels for a time in New Zealand, we were short on cash and looking for a house to rent so we didn’t have any money for the kind of extreme sports that New Zealand is famous for.
Every single day our new roommates would come back from their bus trip tours and tell us about all the awesome stuff they’d done. This wasn’t much fun when you’ve spent your day looking for a job, so we decided to make up sports and pretend we’d done them.
People must have liked the idea because a tour operator we met a couple of months later was still being asked if they did it. Story credit: Reddit / TeleSavalas
