Oleg Sherstyachenko more known like Oleg Cricket is absolutely not afraid of heights.
The 25-year-old fan of parkour Oleg Sherstyachenko from Yekaterinburg, Russia became a true master of his craft – together with a group of fellow-minded guys he organized a show that became famous in many countries.
Dangerous tricks on the edge of skyscrapers is the ordinary and, most importantly, favorite Oleg’s occupation. His hobby became a professional activity and a source of income for an average Russian teenager (Oleg started studying parkour at the age of 14).
All his stunts are shared on IG page which today counts over 880k followers. All the shooting Cricket does without any safety harness, every time risking to break from the stunning heights.
He talks about his experience in RedBull interview: “I moved to a big city (Yekaterinburg) when I was 17. I started to have a dream – I wanted a successful career. I developed bigger goals and started working hard towards them. It was a very important turning point. I gained independence from my parents and became my own man.
I guess I’m different from other people, but I don’t focus on it. Instead, I focus on putting all my energy into achieving my dreams. The audience only sees the results, but the most important for me is the hard work and the efforts I’m putting into everything I do. I live with passion and just have to keep going. I’m happy knowing that I’m giving my very best.”

Oleg Cricket has been involved in roofing for more than a year, and no doubt has knowledge of things like rooftop fall protection fixings that the commercial buildings he does his stunts on may have. During this time spent roofing, he became a significant figure in the subculture of the roofers. Perhaps having knowledge about different types of plywood and other roofing materials, and being comfortable with them due to experience, might be why he seems to have no fear doing his roof stunts.
Oleg, together with friends, performs in the show “Bankai Organization”, whose director is Ivan Korchemkin. Cricket goes as the main character in it. The film crew shot exciting footage on the roofs of more than 50 buildings from different corners of the planet.

In December 2016, Oleg with the operator was detained by the Canadian police. The reason was a video shot on the roof of a skyscraper in Toronto. The roofer was charged with “improper behavior, hacking, and penetration into private territory.”

What is more, the Youtube viewers were shocked by the video posted on April 5, 2017, which shows Cricket jumps, somersaulting, on the top of a sports car running at a crazy speed.
Cricket even had experience in teaching the basics of roofing. His student was Viki Odintcova who was featured in our recent Top 10 lingerie models.

Once he was asked, “Is there anything you wouldn’t do?” (RedBull):
“I have a tattoo that says: ‘People who think that I’m not afraid while I’m doing all these stunts, are crazier than I am.’ I don’t have a death wish. I’m just like everyone else, in pursuit of my dreams and life goals. It just so happened that my dreams and fantasies impress many people. But I would never do anything completely stupid or would risk something for nothing. It’s not worth it.”
