Sometimes you have to marvel at the imagination behind an act. What were they thinking of when they dreamed up the idea of giant bouncing kangaroos on power skip stilts?

Jumping up to a metre off the ground and two metres in a bound, these characters from Icarus are known as Roo’d – and they're a phenomenal sight.

With personalities that blend Aussie outback machismo with inner city punk awareness, Roo'd are close to the edge but never offensive.
Roo'd have become a favourite at festivals and events around the world.
