Maybe is because I read it recently, but looking at these pics it makes me think about the manga Monster. These Russians with their fearlessness of heights are like Johan in that book.

Fuck, now I'm thinking too much about things.
 
After watching some Russian dash cam videos, I think Russians are trained to defy death just to get around from day to day. So getting these photos is like no biggie to them. From my perspective as a weak American they're amazing photos though.
 
In my teens I may have said this was cool and I'd be so up for it.

That was when I had nothing to lose.


The wind at The Peak is bad enough!

Amazing pictures.

I'm really envious of people that are fearless of heights. I have a love for climbing but a major fear of heights. It's a helpful combo.

Yea, awesome photos, but this isn't brave or anything.

Brave

adj. brav·er, brav·est
1. Possessing or displaying courage; valiant.
2. Making a fine display; impressive or showy: "a coat of brave red lipstick on a mouth so wrinkled that it didn't even have a clear outline" (Anne Tyler).
3. Excellent; great: "The Romans were like brothers/In the brave days of old" (Thomas Macaulay).

I'd say these guys are pretty damn brave. They show fearlessness where other people's knees would buckle from crippling terror.

Ballzy. Great pictures. I miss Hong Kong.

I think I'm gonna try to find some San Miguel or Blue Girl beer tonight.

Also when the hell is Sleeping Dogs 2 coming out?

Amazing pics. Breathtaking stuff, and I'm not trying to make a pun or hint at the anxiety induced by the pics.

Personally, these kinds of pics always mess me up. I only started suffering from vertigo once I got older, so now I have this schizophrenic appreciation of photos like that. A tiny part of me goes "Whoooo, I wanna try that!" and the rest of me clenches all orifices shut and starts screaming inwardly. So weird.

These are just perspective tricks. That's actually a miniature city. Can't believe you're all falling for it.

Incredible pictures, I used to climb to high places when I was 12 years old. Then I realized that one mistake would lead to a major injury or even death - regardless of my Slavic genes lol.
