a big paper bag included?
gad get @ Jun 29th 2008 6:33AM
Nope. You still want it?
Blackstar @ Jun 29th 2008 6:40AM
Um, and what happens when you get to a steep hill? Even if you break or reverse the drive wheels inside... you'll just keep sliding or rolling depending on the surface. That outer covering does not look to have much traction.
Pray you are not near a drop off or cliff. O.o
Jenny @ Jun 29th 2008 8:20PM
This better come with some awesome disclaimers.
Cliffs, Lakes, and Idiots, oh my!
neofolklore @ Jun 30th 2008 8:40AM
let me be the first to say:
HA HAHA HAHAHAHA and HAHAHAHAHA
BigDaddyM @ Jun 29th 2008 4:22AM
Price?
LondonConsultant @ Jun 29th 2008 7:37AM
The price is irrelevant if Jodie Foster can travel across the universe in one of these.
qwho @ Jun 30th 2008 7:56AM
Came for the Contact reference. Did not leave disappointed.
Jerry @ Jun 29th 2008 4:26AM
I'll take two please! (With a nice rubber coating so we can play bumber balls of course!
toaster @ Jun 29th 2008 5:35AM
More like BuzzKill...
Haikibutsu @ Jun 29th 2008 4:33AM
Zorb 2.0
Michael LaFramboise @ Jun 29th 2008 4:44AM
Holy crap thats awesome! :D
Mam00th @ Jun 29th 2008 8:51AM
Seconded
Campbell @ Jun 29th 2008 4:51AM
Invented in New Zealand! *Proud* One more adventure sport to add to our list haha
Twitchy @ Jun 29th 2008 6:45AM
Please tell me the prototype is in Auckland - if someone will lend me a helmet with a HANS collar then I'd volunteer to test it.
crypt @ Jun 29th 2008 5:04AM
OH MY GOD YES!
TRU3L3GEND @ Jun 29th 2008 5:11AM
If it doesn't have a stereo im out
phanbouy @ Jun 29th 2008 1:35PM
good don't let the ball hit your ass on the way out
ybd @ Jun 29th 2008 5:32AM
This is one of the cooler things I've seen lately
rita hainsworth @ Jun 29th 2008 5:42AM
I love big balls
scott @ Jun 29th 2008 5:53AM
yes. yes you do.
Jon Doe. @ Jun 29th 2008 5:54AM
OK assuming this is what I think it is; this is simply a portable version of the gyroscope trainer that NASA use to use.
See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpTtojMjbaI
I got to go in one of those at Space Camp years ago. Just about lost my breakfast. :-P
gad get @ Jun 29th 2008 6:34AM
Get a room!
gad get @ Jun 29th 2008 6:39AM
Oops... Well, can you guess who that was meant to be a reply to?
rita hainsworth @ Jun 29th 2008 6:49AM
I hope you don't mean me?....I'm posting this from church.
KilgoreTrout @ Jun 29th 2008 7:07AM
I've heard that it's almost as much fun as doom
Yevon @ Jun 29th 2008 10:44AM
Did anyone else hit the read link? These guys also sell a bathtub racer and a toilette go-kart. The BuzzBall is quite the deviation from their other crappy gadgets (pun intended).
brandon beebox @ Jun 29th 2008 12:22PM
yes it's cool, but how many miles per gallon does it get
I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Jun 29th 2008 11:20PM
As long as you do not use a truck to tow it to the top of a hill, it gets ∞/MPG.
(∞ is the mathematical symbol for infinity)
thedesolate1 @ Jun 29th 2008 1:00PM
Hey didnt I see this in the movie blank check?
Bryan Thornsberry @ Jun 29th 2008 1:41PM
maybe richie rich...?
BigD145 @ Jun 29th 2008 1:42PM
Note: For use only in Oklahoma.
Warning: Do not try to use in New York subway.
Freakin Ijit @ Jun 29th 2008 1:51PM
Needs large air vents.
John @ Jun 29th 2008 8:59PM
Still no comments about gerbils or other critter balls? Not even a Richard Gere reference to be had. I'm disappointed.
Jenny @ Jun 30th 2008 12:36AM
The blow-up human hamster balls for water seem to have run everyone dry, and they look safer. This has more potential for epic fail and emergency room visits.
Kris @ Jun 30th 2008 5:21AM
It reminds me of one of those things that gerbals (or other critter's) use. Or perhaps Richard Gere (That's just a reference though)
Yuri @ Jun 30th 2008 12:27AM
Has anyone else messed with those roller coaster simulators found in a few arcades?
They have one in a mall about 1 1/2 hours away, and for $2 a ride, you can get a somewhat decent thrill, though you can tell you're not quite in a coaster yet.
They have it in Disney World too. Good times =P
But I'd love to ride in one of these.
Xanatos451 @ Jun 30th 2008 11:09AM
Yeah, but will it take me back 7 days in time?
Tracy in Cary @ Jun 30th 2008 12:06PM
No. You have to paint it blue first.
Bobasaurus @ Jun 30th 2008 11:44AM
At least if I lose something, it won't decapitate me.
Too soon?
thedesolate1 @ Jun 30th 2008 11:59AM
Hey didnt Vegeta land in one of those?
TNP @ Jul 1st 2008 7:23PM
I can't wait for the coroner reports: impalement, immolation, blunt-force trauma, drowning...
Oh, I hope they take pictures!!
