It was the moment that a brave daredevil took to the heights of a crane 280ft in Istanbul, and did some crazy stunts.
Khalid Tenni (26 years old) from Morocco performed the dangerous climb with his friend Tony Mounir, on New Year’s Day.
Khalid posted footage on his Instagram of the adrenaline junkie. He has done pull-ups before and even suspended from the crane while it moves in the wind.
Khalid Tanni scaled a Istanbul crane at 280ft on New Year’s Day. He then lowered himself and did a series of pull-ups.
Khalid does four pull ups and then dangles from a crane to perform seven more.
Khalid films himself moving along the crane as the city is hundreds of yards below.
Tony takes control and films Khalid in white vest, black pants, and holds on to a central pole.
Khalid is warned by his friend to be careful before he releases his left arm.
Khalid does 4 pull-ups, and then kicks his feet up in the air after being warned again.
Khalid performs seven more pull-ups from the bar to his friend’s delight and hangs above the bustling city below.
The daredevil eventually pulls himself up on the crane. He and his friend were able to safely descend.
Khalid is seen in a new video walking alongside the crane that towers over Istanbul. He then lowers himself to perform the feat.
Khalid posted several stunt videos to his Instagram account, including one that featured him doing somersaults from rooftops of his hometown in Morocco.
Tony Mounir is Khalid’s friend and can be heard telling Khalid to be careful as he hovers in the air over the city, performing pull-ups.
Khalid stated that it was hard to reach the crane because there were so many cameras.
“I got on the crane, and the wind was increasing in strength as I climbed up. It was strong enough to cause the crane to start moving and for the wind speed of the crane to be incredibly powerful.
“I performed a lot of dangerous, very dangerous exercise at the top without safety precautions.
“I suspended from the crane using one arm and did a pull up exercise.
“This is a hardcore work out!”
Khalid then uploaded the video onto Instagram, which has almost 18,000 hits since January 1, and received comments from those who wanted to know how it was done.
One person said: ‘I can’t watch this stuff in 2022 or else it will blow my anxiety out the water.’
One more: “I feel sick when I look downwards.” Bravo Khalid Congrats!’
Other people urged daredevils to be safe while others said they were just too tired from watching the footage.
Khalid previously performed daredevil stunts such as handstands, somersaults on an imposing building at 260 feet in Morocco and hanging with his hands from the building edge and leaping over a drop to 330 feet.
Khalid did a plank at the top of the crane while it was being tossed in the wind, 280ft over Istanbul, Turkey.
According to the skilled stuntman, he works out up to 8 hours per day and does his stunts from rooftops as there’s no gym nearby.
Khalid, from Rabbat, previously said everything he needed for a shredded physique could be found on the streets around his home.
Because there’s no gym nearby, the skilled stuntman works out on the rooftops for up to eight hours each day.
His other wild stunts include monkey push-ups on a roof, jumping between buildings and front flips.
Khalid stated that 2019 was a year of “death-defying acts” but that the freedom it brings is well worth it.
“I consider myself lucky not to have been seriously injured.”
“I have broken my finger while landing from a jump.
“I make my stunts ahead of time and I always aim to learn a new trick, like the backflip.”
“You do extraordinary things with your body. But you also break through mental barriers. You see the world in a new way.”
