Summer Vacations With an Edge: Zorbing in Tennessee

Zorbing involves hurling oneself down a hill in a plastic bubble. The extreme sport invented by those death-mocking New Zealanders makes its way to the United States with the newly opened Zorb Smokey Mountains. The site is about 30 miles southeast of Knoxville, Tennessee.

The resort has curvy and straight alleys carved into the hillside for visitors to bounce down, safely encased in a sphere of air (or water). It sort of reminds us of the times we dreamt about getting trapped inside a pinball machine. And loving it.
