Zorbing!

Near Rotorua, New Zealand. Zorbing involves getting in an inflated plastic bubble, having a bucket of water thrown in the inner chamber with you, having the opening zippered shut, then being rolled down a hill.

There's a challenge wherein you run all the way down the hill inside the ball without falling down. I found it impossible, but on the successful challengers list (listing only a couple of dozen people) I saw my college friend and Kung Fu teacher Thad Wong. Small world!
