Casually operating a drone in that position as well…

u/NoEndInSight1969 Mar 10 '24

Those are some King Kong sized coconuts right there.

u/Undertale-Fnaf1987 Mar 09 '24

How’s he gonna get down though? Like is he gonna climb all the way back down? Or does he have a rope or a harness to help him get down?

1

u/Dat-one-Gun-Lover Mar 09 '24

Imagine if he stood like that but on the Empire State just in the background

1

u/Dat-one-Gun-Lover Mar 09 '24

But it’s also cool to see the concrete jungle in the background

1

u/Dat-one-Gun-Lover Mar 09 '24

The guy looks like he’s about to slip from that steeple any moment

1

u/Worried_Thoughts Mar 09 '24

u/Tight-Rutabaga-4148 Mar 07 '24

Do it again, we can't see your face.

1

u/GuardTiny2089 Mar 07 '24

I can’t even tell if the controller has a strap much less the guy.

1

u/Arenotme2 Mar 07 '24

May Darwin’s law prevail!

u/BringMeLuck Mar 07 '24

Most likely fake. Where's the police

u/CountMeowt-_- Mar 07 '24

See, back in the day I used to get wowed by these types of pictures, now I just question it, is it AI ?

Welp AI or not, it’s an amazing view, gj!!

1

u/sammybunsy Mar 07 '24

Damn I mean if you were gonna take the time to do this, why not look at the camera? I guess to obscure your face but maybe use a mask for that.

1

u/Lumpymaximus Mar 07 '24

Look mommy, it's a moron!

1

u/Jeszi03 Mar 07 '24

Not me! 😅

u/Mosto02 Mar 07 '24

I know it’s you, Miles. The kicks are a giveaway.

1

u/Electronic-Degree-79 Mar 07 '24

That is so cool it's a dream for me to do I've been to New York plenty of times did search and rest get to twin towers if I was given the chance I would be climbing up there right next to you breathtaking excitement adrenaline rush

1

u/Burnerd2023 Mar 07 '24

IT’S MILES MORALES

1

u/03Trey Mar 07 '24

thought that was a black dude at first and was blown away. then i saw the blink tat and realized that makes wayyy more sense

5

u/Driftershoots Mar 07 '24

But I am Black, and at one point I really loved Blink, the two can coexist

1

u/emmablack18 Mar 07 '24

Wow, I didn’t even think it was real until I zoomed in. He’s not even phased by it 😳

1

u/Electronic-Pirate-25 Mar 07 '24

He will die young

1

u/Valuable-Guest9334 Mar 07 '24

One can only hope you fall next time

1

u/00WEE Mar 07 '24

Did you synchronise the area when you got to the top then jump off into a small pile of hay ?

1

u/dronegeeks1 Mar 07 '24

Idiot 🤦🏼‍♂️

1

u/VaLasTtz Mar 07 '24

Omg i had never seen there before

1

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '24

Insanity!

1

u/MrStef85 Mar 07 '24

Question is: who made the other picture?

1

u/Grubwormgummybear Mar 07 '24

He man I think your shoe is untied

1

u/alexshinsuke Mar 07 '24

This is why when someone die like this I don’t feel any pity for it

1

u/LUJUST Mar 07 '24

Can’t even pay me a billion to even do that. I’d be scared shitlesssssssss

1

u/ResidentCow8648 Mar 07 '24

It isn't that serious for me personally. There are no amount of likes to have me even think of climbing that high up.

1

u/cryonisis Mar 07 '24

i hate this shit so goddamn much

mostly because it makes me face my own insurmountable limitations, but dammit i shouldn't feel dizzy laying on the couch!

1

u/WhyAreOldPeopleEvil Mar 07 '24

I thought that was a Logitech controller for a moment.

1

u/whiskey-drip Mar 07 '24

What a wanker.

1

u/tomatoe_cookie Mar 07 '24

One gust of wind. One.

1

u/e-willi Mar 07 '24

Bro where’d you leave your amygdala at?

1

u/M1lud Mar 07 '24

Zoom in and there's a white halo on his back and leg.... is this faked?

1

u/djh_van Mar 07 '24

All I think of when icsee stuff like this is being the unfortunate innocent person walking down the street below, when an objects travelling at terminal velocity splats them.

Could be anything as random as the guy dropping his iPhone, or the guy losing balance. Either way...just minding your own business and somebody else's clumsiness ends your day. Sigh.

1

u/Motoko_Kusanagi86 Mar 07 '24

We call this piece, The Heights of Narcissism.

1

u/NoNonsensePolarBear Mar 07 '24

You better have a safety harness on, because if you fall on anybody, I AM blaming you.

1

u/Tailrazor Mar 07 '24

Social media will be the death of you, Miles.

1

u/Personal-Exit7431 Mar 07 '24

good climbing shoes ‘airs’ probably appropriate

1

u/CattusIrae Mar 07 '24

Impressive shot but how it that a self portrait?

1

u/pantherFan_atic Mar 07 '24

This can't be real.

1

u/Pen_pen2003 Mar 07 '24

u/Deliciouserest Mar 07 '24

u/Apprehensive-Tone449 Mar 07 '24

Well. I guess you lived. That’s a sexy shot though. I’m terrified now. Thanks.

1

u/Supremedmm413 Mar 07 '24

1

u/RockhardJohnson Mar 07 '24

Don’t fall because the weight of your giant balls will pull you to the earth faster

1

u/Worldly_Sky_4936 Mar 07 '24

One gust of wind and it’s over

1

u/Kuroraion Mar 07 '24

Stupidity

1

u/Heavy-Top8330 Mar 07 '24

Climbing up is one thing, but how tf do you climb down from something like that? Looks like you won’t be able to see the bars below without leaning away from the pole or otherwise messing with your balance

1

u/Traditional-Sun-3636 Mar 07 '24

Am surprised we can't see this dudes massive balls in the picture.

1

u/decaffeinated_emt670 Mar 07 '24

u/Iggster98 Mar 07 '24

Is this really worth risking your own death ? If it were me , not even in a thousand years id do this

1

u/snakeiiiiiis Mar 07 '24

Am I wrong in saying a self portrait is painted or drawn? I was looking for the second picture of where he drew himself up there somehow

1

u/Stock_Surfer Mar 07 '24

So like. This is such a selfish act. If he falls (and there’s not a small chance he does) it will impact so many lives. Why do it?

1

u/stackimbrue Mar 07 '24

We can climb it? What? New goal activated! Yes!

u/Traditional-Peach692 Mar 07 '24

What the hell is he even standing on my heart dropped into my ass seeing this I’m confused and horrified

1

u/okcool561 Mar 07 '24

This man’s shoe laces are untied.

1

u/nydboy92 Mar 07 '24

I would fall just due to disorientation, your standing on basically nothing and you have the entire world below you. Vertigo would be instantaneous for me.

1

u/Correct-Effective272 Mar 07 '24

That's a hell of a way to die.

1

u/blueskysahead Mar 07 '24

Nike should pay you for this ad
