THIS is the hair-raising moment an internet prankster claims to have jumped over a sports car which was hurtling towards him at 60 miles per hour.
Oleg Sherstyachenko, 25, appears to flip over the speeding blue BMW.
The video shows the car speeding towards Oleg - as he runs towards the bonnet.
He then seemingly flings himself over the top of the vehicle - performing a barrel roll in mid air - much to the horror of the driver and the passenger.
The camera cuts to the inside of the car to show driver Amiran Sardarov shouting with shock.
Sherstyachenko lands safely on the ground - once Amiran has sped past in the luxury motor.
After the stunt Amiran appears to be visible shaken by his near miss with Oleg, from the city of Yekaterinburg in central Russia's Sverdlovsk Oblast region.
Oleg has been practising free running stunts - also known as parkour - since the age of 14.
He has become an internet sensation in his native Russia because of his death-defying antics.
Just seconds before the stunt, Amiran asks Oleg one last time if he still wants to do the stunt.
Oleg replies: "Of course, there is some insecurity, but we will make it happen.
"Everything will be fine. Maybe we’ll have to call an ambulance. It is a joke, of course. No need for an ambulance."
Oleg’s friends say he was shivering right before the jump, but it is unclear whether this was due to nerves or because he was only wearing a T-shirt in the cold.
