A group of skydiving daredevils performed some out-of-this-world manoeuvres when they jumped from a plane over New Zealand attached to unusual contraptions.
Nitro Circus stars Joelene Van Vugt of Canada, Erik Roner of the USA and eight friends executed the risky moves over Matamata to launch their extreme sport's impending '2011 Nitro Circus Live New Zealand Tour.'
The jump coincided with tickets going on sale for the February tour.

The performers each hurled themselves into the air riding a different wacky prop, including a wheelchair, a scooter, a tricycle, skis, a BMX bike, and a portable cooler.
Nitro Circus, which is also a show on MTV, includes FMX champs Steve McCann and Cam 'Sincs' Sinclair and 16-time X Games champ Travis Pastrana.

The live  show featured theatrics and stunts performed around the 50-foot high Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp.
Sadly for American adrenaline junkies the live show isn't back in the US until February 2012, but it will be touring Europe later next year.

Who needs snow or water when you can ski on air?

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a man in a portable cooler!
