Ogo

OGO (Outdoor Gravity Orb) is the latest adventure activity to hit the United States. The OGO is a ten foot ball with a six foot interior ball that is used to ride down hills. If you close your eyes and imagine being in a hampser ball sized for humans you will now have a good mental image of The OGO. There are two ways to Ride The OGO;

First, you can ride the H2OGO. The H2OGO has five to ten gallons of water added to the interior ball, up to three people dive into the ball and ride down the hill for one of the craziest experiences ever. It has been described like being in a washing machine and a roller coaster at the same time. The great part about the H2OGO is that all family members can enjoy the ride. Mom, Dad, and a kid; Mom and two kids, everyone of all ages have the same emotional journey of laughter and exileration. To see some crazy video footage from inside The OGO and meet the man behind the company.

The second way to ride the OGO is to get strapped into a harness that centralizes the weight and flip head over heals, seeing grass, sky, grass, sky as you ride down hill. The single harness OGO is called the IGO and consists of a seven point harness system, securing both feet, shoulders, waist, and grips for both hands. Considered by many to be as close to orbiting in space as you can get. And if that sounds crazy, don't just ride by yourself, ride with a friend the in the first 7 point double harness which is called the WEGO.

To get a better handle or idea of the latest adventure activity for all the family, go to the Outdoor Gravity website. The first OGO Park in the United States has been constructed and is currently open just north of Boston in Massachusetts, at The Amesbury Sports Park.

There are currently some projects to extend OGO's functionality to Japan. Ogo may refer to:
