This is the terrifying moment a parkour thrill-seeker jumps from floor to floor as he descends a five-storey car park.

Nick Ortiz, 25, is told to ‘get rolling’ as he stretches his legs ready for the big jump at the building in Denver, Colorado.

He leaps over a railing and leans over a triangular-shaped five-storey drop between the car park levels.

Then he leaps across the gap to the next level down, grabbing onto the railings as his feet land on the concrete edge of the floor.

He carries on zig-zagging across the gap, leaping from floor in the stunt, filmed on September 12.

As the freerunner makes his daring descent another man moves up to the railings of one floor to watch him.

Nick has performed similar stunts across buildings and car parks in downtown Los Angeles and boasts a 20.6k following on Instagram.

Last October he jumped from a four-storey car park in Denver.

He previously told Story Trender: ‘I just felt really happy about being able to stay calm in that situation and beat the mental challenge is almost meditative to me.’

Parkour is a non-competitive ‘physical discipline of training to move over and through terrain using only the body’s abilities’ – through running, jumping or climbing. This stunt in Denver comes almost two months after Johnny ‘Snyper’ Turner died as a result of jumping eight-storeys from Windmill House in Wandsworth, London.

Turner used his parkour skills to scale London’s most well-known buildings, including Battersea Power Station and the Barbican.

Russian YouTuber Sergey Shorokhov narrowly avoided death when he missed his footing and managed to pull himself to safety on electrical cables as they shook him, in July.
