Video: Russian girl films herself 'skywalking' among rooftops

Moscow - Not for the faint of heart, or those with a fear of heights, this brave girl filmed herself walking on a narrow concrete beam, high up among the rooftops of Moscow.

The original video of this young girl, walking on a narrow concrete beam high above the ground, has gone viral. Around 250,000 Internet users have watched her 'tight-rope' walk in the latest of the so-called 'skywalkers' video series from Russia. The video footage was taken on the roof of one of Moscow's high-rise apartment buildings, and the girl walks several dozens of meters before the video ends. The 'skywalker' is Marina Bezrukova, a member of the Moscow-based rope jumping team, MADS. Digital Journal reported last month on the MADS rope jump in the city of Tver, Russia, where 130 people participated in a record-breaking rope jump off a bridge. Marina says the jumping helped her to overcome her fear of heights and learn to stay in control. She says she is now prepared to move on, and brave even more extreme heights.
