It's neither The Fast and The Furious nor Mad Max. This is Russia! It's also Instagram. One could be inclined to believe that it's quite a dangerous combination, especially since many seem to be desperate for attention online nowadays. But this is not just a frivolous attempt at temporary glory on the internet.
This man has done many other unbelievable stunts in the past. The last time we stumbled upon his adventures, he jumped over a jet from the roof of a moving Rolls-Royce Ghost while a smaller aircraft flew over his head. It was quite a spectacle.

However, daredevils are never satisfied with their latest adventure. Many of them always want more. They're also on the hunt for the next unbelievable thing that will raise their adrenaline levels to new highs. It's like that for Evgeny Chebotarev, who seems to love living life on the edge.

On another occasion, he patiently waited inside an old Lada for a bus to be dropped off on him. That's just how courageous this guy and his friends are. It takes some level of dedication and very careful planning to pull off such an impressively dangerous deed.

But in this stunt, the "artist" used three iconic American cars to remind us that there are people a lot braver than Jean-Claude Van Damme.

He placed his left foot on a yellow Chevy Camaro (which reminded us of Transformers' Bumblebee) and his right foot on a red Dodge Challenger. Both cars were moving and chasing a Ford Mustang Convertible. Fortunately, they were on a closed road where there were no other traffic participants.

The man kept his balance until the two blue-blooded American coupes came close enough to the open-top Ford. Then, he somehow found it within him to jump from the hoods of the two cars right into the rear seats of the Mustang.

Although the daredevil wore a helmet, gloves, and some pads to protect his head and important ligaments, it was the Ford driver who really needed one. The stuntman pulled it off and landed where he wanted to without any injuries. However, the Ford driver received an unexpected knee to the head.

Fortunately, they weren't driving fast. Nothing bad happened. However, it could have all gone very wrong. But that's the life of a stuntman who always seeks to entertain all kinds of audiences in ways others wouldn't have even dared to think of.

Maybe Red Bull or Hollywood will get ahold of this guy and help him achieve his lifelong dream of putting his talents to great, properly rewarded work.

I don't know about you, but I bet that this man's life would serve as great inspiration for a GTA VI character.

Car shows on TV and his father's Fiat Tempra may have been Florin's early influences, but nowadays he favors different things, like the power of an F-150 Raptor. He'll never be able to ignore the shape of a Ferrari though, especially a yellow one.
