Accessed on August 10, 2010.〕〔 His feats include tightrope walking between two hot air balloons in flight〔 and doing a handstand on a pile of chairs balanced on a rock wedged in a crevice between two cliffs that were 3,500 feet tall.〔(Daredevil Shows No Fear For Stunt." ) ''The Sun'', July 15, 2010.

Ronningsbakken joined the circus at the age of 12, but has been practicing in various forms since the age of five, where, as the youngest of three children, he spent his time in the Norwegian countryside climbing trees and playing on rooftops.〔Cheang, Michael. ("A Higher Art." ) ''The Star: Online,'' August 26, 2008. Accessed on August 10, 2010.〕〔 At an early age, when watching television, he was inspired by footage of an Indian yogi balancing, and decided to devote himself to the art.〔 He later improved his craft under the tutelage of Moscow State Circus trainer Peter Jakob.〔〔("Eskil Rønningsbakken's Latest 'Art' Creation." ) ''Dogo News!'' September 17, 2009. Accessed August 9, 2010.〕〔("Risking life for his art: Former circus man does one-handed handstand dangling 300m over cliff edge." ) ''Daily Mail Reporter: Mail Online'', September 16, 2009. Accessed on August 10, 2010.〕 He has also begun to teach others his techniques.〔 Ronningsbakken has visited the slums of Nairobi in the hopes of inspiring lifelong confidence in the youth by teaching them acrobatics.〔("Nat Geo AMAZING!: Unbalanced." ) ''Spotlight,'' July 15, 2010.

Ronningsbakken's current goal is to perform a one-handed handstand at the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which, as of January 2010, was the tallest man-made structure ever built.〔Croucher, Martin. ("Daredevil Plans Handstand on Top of Burj Dubai." ) ''Khaleej Times: Online'', April 20, 2009. Accessed on August 10, 2010.〕 Explaining his motives, he says, "When you only have five fingers touching the building, you feel like you are flying."〔 Experts expect wind speed will affect his ability to perform safely, as the building sways slightly in high winds.〔
