Eskil has also been training others how to make bold shapes at dangerous spots. Here he performs with Moses Wepukhuli, 25, from Kenya, and one of Eskil’s students. This was the first time Moses has performed at that height, and has been under Eskil’s supervision since January 2009

Describing his performances as ‘expressions of art’, Eskil is currently touring with a team of 10 people as part of a documentary about his incredible achievements. The crew have been visiting some of Eskil’s playgrounds, recording brand new stunts for the first time – like the unicycle at Trollveggen mountain – and improving on old performances for camera
