Rooftoppers – some people call them fearless, others call them crazy. There has been increase in the number of people going up tall skyscrapers to take photos of other buildings and the view below. But aside from ‘dangling feet’ shots, or skyscraper selfies, there are those that take it to the next level. In Dubai, a Russian guy has done these stunts on top of the emirate’s highest towers.
Oleg Cricket’s instagram account (which currently has 162,000 Followers) has plenty of these shots on top of the tallest towers of the city. You will notice famous shots along Sheikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah Beach Residences, and Dubai Marina. You can scroll through many photos of him performing stunts that’s too stomach-turning even for our taste.
Every post made by olegcricket is really insane! Looking at each of them makes you feel that it’s your last moment to live. After browsing through his page, even though it got me worried, I appreciated every image he took, showing how pleasant it is to get a view from these towering structures.

Aside from being on top of it, he’s doing parkour stunts. It’s a combination of running, climbing, vaulting, jumping, rolling and other movements depending on the situation. If you played his video clips on his IG account, you will hear the strong wind blowing in the background.. He must have a tough training, maintaining a balance like that must be very hard with a windy factor.
It’s very daring to be up that high and do stunts like that. I could not even look down if I was up that high. Would you try to and do the same thing as this person? I guess not, I could imagine my body trembling from the fear of falling down that height, but if I was challenged to go out and act what he did, I will ask for a safety equipment at least. I don’t want to put my life on the line for something like that.
