Sony's new Spider-Man film might have a new viral campaign out, but Russia has the upper hand. While some people have problems walking on a suspended bridge, here's a guy who can do so much more.

Uploaded the other day on LiveLeak, the video above shows a Russian teen doing the kind of (parkour) stunts only a real-life Spider-Man would dare do – at heights that make the faintest of heart sick by just looking.

Of course, since we're talking about a daredevil here, the teen doesn't have any kind of protection equipment or safety “net” of some sort to rely on.

This is precisely what has prompted over 600 comments on the aforementioned site, with viewers debating on whether the boy's a genius or a really stupid dude who has come up with the worst way of showing off.

Check out the video and judge for yourself.
