Kiwis create ride-on lawnmower powered slip'n'slide

What does a ride-on lawnmower have to do with a slip 'n slide? Nothing, until a group of clever Kiwis built this epic way to keep cool over summer.

Captured in a short video, a man on a ride-on mower circles in the middle of a massive tarpaulin as Hamilton local, Matt Dallimore, holds a ski rope attached to the mower and orbits him at speed on the slippery surface.

Initiated by Dallimore's friend Paul Sanson and his dad Lindsey, who were inspired by a YouTube video, the set up took about three hours of planning plus sourcing a big enough tarpaulin and "a good solid flat bar" to attach the ski rope to the mower.
