A young girl walking along a narrow concrete beam high above the ground has become the latest online hit. A quarter of a million internet users have watched the buxom blonde gingerly 'tight-rope' walk in the latest video in the so-called 'skywalkers' series from Russia. The footage was made on the roof of one of Moscow's high-rise apartment blocks, with the girl walking several dozens of meters before the video ends.

Marina Bezrukova, member of Moscow-based rope jumping team MADS, says it is the jumping that helped her overcome the fear of heights and learn how to stay in control. Marina says she's prepared to move on and brave even higher altitudes.
