An extreme athlete from Russia has performed a daredevil stunt, completing gymnastic turns on a bar whilst hanging from a hot air balloon with no parachute.
Sergey Boytsov, 30, performed on a horizontal bar suspended from the hot air balloon and says he was roughly 1,500 metres in the air.
The gymnastics bar can be seen tied down to a square platform that hangs from the balloon, however Boytsov appears to be untethered wearing a long gymnastics jumpsuit.

June 21 (Reuters) - Uzbek gymnast Oksana Chusovitina celebrated her 50th birthday in remarkable fashion by winning silver in the vault at the Gymnastics World Challenge Cup in Tashkent on Friday.
