An outrageous daredevil has been filmed doing chin-ups while hanging 700 feet in the air in London. He insists that his passion is no more dangerous than drinking booze.

In the footage Elvis Bogdanovs, who has terrified and amused viewers in equal measure during various stunts, can be seen removing one hand from his support and hovering hundreds of feet above the ground.

The latest video of his work shows him in action in at a 40-storey high rise in Stratford, London - with the 20-year-old appearing completely unfazed as the busy night time traffic appears like dots in the distance.

Not content with his round of pull-ups and press-ups he then proceeds to do a handstand hovering alarmingly close to the edge.

Elvis, from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, said: “I do it because it's my passion. Everyone has their passions so if they're able to relate to that feeling, they can understand why I do it. What do I say to the people who warn against it? There are far more dangerous thing that people do and don't complain about, practically any extreme sport or racing. If people drink alcohol, they're already just as bad as me.”
