through the entire video I was just thinking, 'oh god, fucking stop, what the hell'
I think I am going to drink some whiskey and smoke a cig after this. Holy shit my nerves are in orbit.
[QUOTE=Recurracy;44533381]Fear of heights are pretty fucking irrational if you think of it. I mean, you walk on the sidewalk. Now imagine yourself 100 meters higher. What's the difference? The possibility of falling, the sensation you get from being way up there, and the constant fear of accidentally tripping. These guys are obviously pretty confident in their skills and I'd say it's no difference to them than being on the sidewalk. Looks to me they've trained body and mind.[/QUOTE]
You just answered your own question.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;44533670]Of course. There was a traceur guy in Russia who wanted to do a backflip on the edge of the building, he fell off after going too much right.

[QUOTE=Saturn V;44533696]I don't think I've ever seen a non-russian doing this kinda stuff.[/QUOTE]
Yes you have.
They're Ukrainian.
I mean, it'd be less stupid if they at least wore base jumping parachutes or something. If they fucked up, they'd have the fallback of being able to open it and be safe.
It sucks knowing they can stupidly throw their lives away, especially when they're so talented.
When they inevitably fall down, just imagine the trauma the people on the street will go through. They have no respect for human life.
I'm more confused as to how they can keep their balance and not get blown of by the wind at that height
[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;44531967]It's their choice, same goes for people that climb mountains/cliff scaling, or is that somehow different?[/QUOTE]
Say that to the people that have to scrape their brains off the sidewalk. This is a complete disregard for other people and for life in general.
[QUOTE=Killuah;44533745]
there is no law against this in russia[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about. The fact that there're no specific laws against this kind of activity doesn't mean it's absolutely fine by the state. It's considered to be general disruption (or "hooliganism"). In case with construction cranes and various towers it's also invasion of private or state property and possibly even damage to said property. Punished by fines and jail.
well I'm waiting to see the link to live leak of his death

From my understanding there is no video only 2 pictures.
You have seen the other pic so here is this one.

If you think about it, no it's not you dumb fuck.

that's ridiculous
if you trip one induces scuffs on your arms
the other induces death
people trip on a decently regular basis, heck I trip probably once or twice a year just walking on a completely flat surface. not wanting to take the chance of DEATH isn't that bizarre

Plus you have to consider that these people aren't walking on 'sidewalks', they're walking on metal poles only a few inches in width.
Yeah, they're not exactly comparable.

this guy. this guy right here.
I always think that my body's reaction to heights is stupid. If I got sweaty palms holding onto that metal bar like I did watching this video I would slip after 3 seconds.
