A Serbian youth Oleg Cricket never fails to thrill with his adventurous bouts and this time he's got jaws dropping too.
Growing up in a small city he says he was a little boy with ambitions and a dream which only he believed in. Since he was 12 he dreamt of becoming someone outstanding. At 16, he started doing stunts, gymnastics, acrobatics and martial arts professionally.
Captioning a snippet of his new video that shows him hoverboarding atop a Dubai high-rise, he said, "How am I still alive? I don't know, maybe, I'm immortal?".
To which many viewers commented and echoed thoughts similar to "that's so dangerous", "how can you do that", "you are an idiot" and "don't do that again man".
Here's his breathtaking stunt. Do not try this at home, or anywhere else for that matter.

 
And then he somersaults...
In another video posted by Oleg, he is seen somersaulting at the top of a building located in an area that looks like Jumeriah Beach Residences. Viewers have shared their opinions saying, "You're so so gutsy", "This makes me cringe" and "I knew it was you. keep it real man".
 
On the edge . I have nothing more to write , I'm sorry . #rollercoaster #olegcricket

Dubai has banned the use of hoverboards in public areas and warned of confiscation of the smart wheels if used in places other than the designated areas.
A string of injuries and a couple of deaths due to hoverboard accidents were reported in the UAE in the past few months. Earlier, the Department of Economic Department (DED) in Dubai had banned the use of hoverboards in shopping malls. The Dubai Police had warned hoverboard users to stay off roads, pavements and car parks and the Federal Traffic Council of the UAE had recommended the confiscation of the smart wheels from the violators.
Hoverboarders beware:
> Banned in Dubai malls since October 2015.
> Prohibited areas: Roads, shopping centres, residential complexes, public sidewalks and walkways.
> These boards can only be used in areas designated for bicycles, skateboards, and similar devices.
> Violators will have to face the confiscation of their hoverboards.
