A daredevil has taken parkour to its limits by performing reckless stunts from a moving , tilted truck . Abdullah Omar AlAli , 21 , got into the street gymnastics craze just a year ago in his home city of Dubai , United Arab Emirates - but backflips and handstands on park benches were just not enough . Instead he pulls his stunts from a Toyota Land Cruiser , which a driver tips precariously onto two wheels in another dangerous procedure known as 'sidewalk skiing ' . Dicing with death : Abdullah Omar AlAli , 21 , got into the street gymnastics craze parkour just a year ago - and now performs on a moving truck . Talented : The daredevil accepts that what he does is dangerous , but says he wants to draw attention to the thrill of parkour for everyone . Mr AlAli , who has no formal training but a black belt in Taekwondo , begins his stunts by climbing out of the truck 's rear driver side window while it is moving on its side . He then scrambles onto the top where he performs handstands and backflips and even gives a salute to his cameraman . Inspired by military obstacle courses , parkour involves turning everyday pieces of street furniture into objects to be ducked under , swung from , vaulted and climbed . The discipline has in turn inspired freerunning , the urban athletics movement followed by tens thousands of people around the world . 'Sidewalk skiing ' is another dangerous craze altogether , and was popularised in 2013 by a team of daredevils in neighbouring Saudi Arabia . Sidewalk skiing : The craze of tipping a moving truck onto two wheels was popularised by a group of daredevils in Saudi Arabia in 2013 . 'My inspiration is Dubai 's Prime Minster Sheikh Mohammed who said that UAE does not have a word for impossible ' , the 21-year-old said . Backflip : The amateur daredevil said he wanted to push the urban gymnastics craze to its limit in his home city of Dubai , United Arab Emirates . To tip a truck onto its side a driver usually uses an asymmetrical ramp , then there is the difficult part - balancing it without allowing it to tip over while a daredevil scrambles into position on top . Mr AlAli now wants to push parkour even closer to its limits . 'While the stunt is risky , I wanted to show how far people could push their skills with this sport , ' he said . 'My inspiration is Dubai 's Prime Minster Sheikh Mohammed who said that UAE does not have a word for impossible - it does not exist in our lexicon ' . Mr AlAli also explained that his next goal is to create a parkour training facility where people all over the region can come and discover the sport . He said : ' I want to convince the municipality to provide a park made especially for parkour so they can attract more people , who can practice and teach in a safe place . ' I want to show the world that the UAE is a place where you can find talented people . ' Poise : The truck is not moving in all of his shots , but must be when it tilts on its side - with a driver who is able to keep it balanced . Do n't try this at home : With long stretches of highway and more than enough desert , the UAE is a suitable place to develop the craze . Mr AlAli said his next goal is to create a parkour training facility where people all over the region can come and discover the sport .
