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. 

Another daredevil went skydiving over New Zealand with a scooter 

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?

No word what happened to this skydiver's bottom when the

 bike he rode from the plane hit the ground

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