VisitBrighton were discussing where we'd like to go for our next group outing yesterday and we're seriously thinking about putting our 'extreme Brighton' heads on and opting for a spot of orbing. If we have the balls that is!The guys at Orb360 turned up in Brighton last year professing to have the ‘biggest balls in Brighton’ and subsequently made thousands of locals and visitors alike grin, scream and become hilariously disorientated travelling at speeds of up to 30mph, two at a time, down the longest Orb run in the country. Our old marketing manager did it and loved it. Although he was a slightly odd shade of green when he came back...
Orb360's antics can be seen and heard across Brighton's summit in the beautifully picturesque setting of the Devils Dyke (Bus No.77).
And now, not content at putting thrill seekers and the adrenaline junkies through their orbing experience the cheeky chappies at Orb360 are also giving orbers the ride of their lives inside the appropriately named ‘Aqua Orb’ - so called because you share the orb with a willing friend and 50 litres of icy water! Really not one for the faint hearted...
Then came the next new thing and, being proud Brightonians, the peeps at Orb360 brought the first Sussex and Brighton ATBA approved Mountain Boarding centre to our shores. For the uninitiated, Mountain Boarding is the sport involving large looking skateboards with bmx style wheels that can travel down hills at up to 40mph and over jumps and rails for the committed adrenaline seeker! With all this happening at Devils Dyke you can see why orb360.co.uk and board360.co.uk are full of rock and roll - quite literally on the rolling stakes! So, go and check them out yourselves or call 01273 880045 for more information. If you think you have the balls!

Oh, and we're thinking of doing a video diary of our trip, so watch this space!

Came down from the midlands to visit our son at Brighton Uni and went for a walk up at Devils Dyke. We saw the orb360 office and booked in to do a roll as luckily there was some availability! Can honestly say it was one of the strangest but most fun things I have ever experienced! Definitely a must for any one who wants to experience something out of the ordinary. The location is also lovely, with fantastic views over the south downs and even the option of a cheeky pint afterwards in the pub!
