COMM: Balancing 2000 feet above a fjord, this
daredevil performs a breathtaking one-armed handstand.
Extreme balancing artist Eskil Ronningsbakken
performed the death-defying stunt on a plato in western Norway.
Eskil: I'm taking you to Preikestolen today.
This is a big rock, which is 600 meters above the fjord and it's a drop all the way down,
so if you fall off the edge here, there is no way back.
COMM: To prepare for the daring act, the 33-year-old
meditated on the edge of a cliff, picturing the mood in his mind.
Eskil: The way I work is that I always envision
an image before I undertake any kind of action, and this image follows me all through the
working process. It's the drive behind everything I do..
COMM: Using all his strength and concentration,
Eskil executed the stunt to perfection.
Eskil: I want to create art - see a picture,
see a dream coming true.
