The start of the terrifying video shows the thrill-seeker performing backflips on a Russian building which is several stories above the ground.

Oleg proves he has a head for heights by walking along the edge of the massive structure with a camera stapped to his skull.

The horrifying point-of-view footage is almost too hard to watch.

The second half of the video then shows the stuntman, whose online alias is Oleg Cricket, balancing along a building in the autonomous Chinese metropolis.

Hong Kong has more skyscrapers than any other city in the world, and Oleg makes good use of the colossal structures.

The daredevil bravely leaps from one building to another risking a fall which would leave his body smashed across the concrete pavement  hundreds of metres below.

Oleg’s incredible risk-taking has given him a huge following online with over 270,000 followers on Instagram.

The risk-taker told the Mail Online that he does feel any fear when he performs the potentially deadly feats.

He said: “Of course there was adrenaline but I wouldn't say I was scared.

“As you can imagine each climb is challenging since you have to be very precise and careful.

“This was probably my biggest challenge, especially on the building in Moscow.”

The social media star said he plans to climb more buildings in Russia, Hong Kong and in the dry desert heat of Dubai.
