My suggestion would be hitting a climbing gym to learn to rig a setup. I've climbed a few illegal places, it doesn't take that long to rig a belay; ascenders and some slings will get you back up and if they catch you, you can always go down and bail. Just leave the rope and sundries. The loss of equipment costing you the same or less than bail with no record. Just the thoughts of an old societal dissident.

Tagging is not art. I tagged for a while in my early teens before I grew the f up - it's crayoning your parents walls with extra steps. From experience I know a £4 can of spray = £6000 bill to have 110 year old masonry on a listed building cleaned without damaging it and the cost was passed on the to tax payers. So taggers make life suck for everyone just so they can be narcissists. Real graf artists put their tag on their work, and put their work where it will be appreciated and enjoyed - not just spam their tag on everything in sight like a monkey throwing poop.

"It may have been "illegal" but that isn't entirely the fault of those who use graffiti. We have an alternative. I once visited Rapid City, SD and saw where the city allowed graffiti to be placed in an area downtown. It was allowed and encouraged. Trash cans, doors, pipes, brick walls, everything - it was legal and allowed. This idea worked. It kept graffiti from being put up in all other areas of the city. This should be a starting point for all towns and cities. Give these artists a place to share their art. " - from an artist's perpective.

I used to dabble in rooftops, when I was younger, but I stopped doing it, because my Spidey sense was tingling, and I kept thinking back to one train station roof I did. The section I was standing on was essentially two walls with paving slabs on top (so like a chamber inside) I kept playing it over and over, as if the slabs broke and I fell in between the walls. We're talking 3 stories high, as well. This was before smartphones, and not everyone had mobile phones back then (I certainly didn't have one) I would have been trapped until morning, likely. Also, I've had 2 friends fall. One broke his back, the other, his backpack broke his fall, and saved his back, but he messed his arm up a lot. This happened later, in both cases, but it's like what my gut was warning me about, it just happened to other people. Now I don't F with rooftop spots. I mean sometimes i think they're doable, when far safer, and I consider them. I still don't do them though. It's a risky enough game without throwing in another factor.

I think the word "stupid" has lost its meaning. People say, "You can't fix stupid," but if that's true, then stupidity is just part of someone's nature, making them victims of it. So why not feel bad for them? If "stupid" means impulsive or unreflective, it *can* be fixed by thinking more carefully or slowly. Yet, we also call people "stupid" for thinking *too* slowly.

hey man that’s alright !!

[@24kbrown22]

Damn he has been the only one to do this heaven I remember seeing this as a kid , it was soo amazing Unfortunately this happened to him , also AIR LTS left us too soon thank you for this I remember seeing both of them Up around all the heavens in LA Thank you for this video wish it was longer

[@youfosignhere]

oh wow man

[@Soulstealing1]

Pharoe lcf hit that exact spot there’s a video still floating around on KZbin of him doing it. He used a rope ladder to get up n down.

[@alexgray8804]

Kub did the opposite pillar in 2000

[@grey-spark]

I'm surprised he didn't attach a $30 lifeline/harness to the railing above. If only to get back up.

[@youfosignhere]

yeah idk what he was thinkin

[@chris_allupinya5613]

Growing up in so cal driving by this spot we all as kids wondered how that was even possible.

[@youfosignhere]

for sure

[@YouTubeComments-fz6bh]

There is always media truth and the real truth to the story. Props to Esk at the end. Never saw that News clip. The reason of the fall, and where he fell are different than reported.

[@youfosignhere]

yeah true , peopke have since told me the stories they have heard so it’s hard to pin point the truth

[@alexgray8804]

@@youfosignhere I was living in LA and saw it the morning after, heading home from a rave. The story going around was, the police showed up as he was finishing, his assistant up top had to hide, and he decided to try and jump towards the embankment. The cops left him to die and when the sun came up someone saw him and called an ambulance. Hard to say what’s true, the story never really came to light. Dude was top dog in LA in 1997 for sure, nobody came close.

[@GTO90s]

I knew it... My friends mentioned it to me, and i did realized who he is the same person thats what he talking about his story is absolutely true. His identity is 110%. He is still alive with me right now. Thank you.

[@youfosignhere]

Oh good mak

[@youfosignhere]

man*

[@retrogeometro]

Excellent video, and excellent choice of music. The warriors was the first movie that opened my eyes as a child to the world of graffiti (however little of it was in the movie. But it was just enough to get me wanting to know more)

[@youfosignhere]

Thank you so much man, yeah warriors gave me that effect as well i reckon, started with just wanting to do the W on a piece of wood out in the back yard

[@justacommentercommenting]

Concrete Pylon?? Like the metal electrical towers carrying power lines or is it a different type of pylon

[@youfosignhere]

It’s basically just a bridge support beam thing

[@Mexy-lq8ic]

im currently recovering from a 20 ft fall from a over pass while doing it broke both my hands and a leg.

[@Alkaholik]

damn homie

[@youfosignhere]

damn bro

[@jahrastaeasygaming2372]

I am a little old for the theatrics of graffiti. The stunts. But I am always down to paint a train or a tunnel preferably an area with light for my old eyes. Didn't ayer LTS fall to his death?

[@ten4k964]

How?

[@Alkaholik]

@@ten4k964 wanted to say the same thing ^^^ @ten4k964 don't take some1 from spaceX to work it out.. its liek a dot 2 dot puzzle with it be he had a trip climbing up or slipped putting the final touches , he got all fscked up and is typing fscked up, unless capping and more of all hes probly said the story so many time's in his real-world, the last place he want's to talk about it is in here lololololol somethign he sould do a video about, but i dont think he can lol l

[@ArmandxxBester]

Gotta give respect for using The Warriors soundtrack, gem of a game.

[@youfosignhere]

the best man!

[@youfosignhere]

good ear !

[@petemarron6677]

That's a shame.

[@youfosignhere]

😶‍🌫️

[@jeremyclark6033]

So the story I heard about this was he scaled down and had a friend with him.a cop drove by and spooked his friend so he left him stuck up there. Eventually ozie jumped to the embankment

[@youfosignhere]

oh legit ?!

[@nickstein7099]

That's the story we all heard back in the day as well. It was either stay there and get caught or take the leap.

[@bgrumble]

Yes, this is the story that most people thought.

[@elsleepy9396]

I saw that you uploaded and literally yelled out loud "YOUFO JUST POSTED 8 MINUTES AGO!!!" Lmfaooo love you dude❤❤

[@youfosignhere]

Haha legittt! thank you so so much honestly !

@youfosignhere no problem dude!

[@couupakb9669]

[@Brian-zl6ib]

My mother's fence has been tagged dozens of times and I have to repaint it. This is brilliant news to hear.

[@youfosignhere]

damnn

[@agostocobain2729]

The guy is thriving in life with a house and family now. He will always be a legend.

[@Brian-zl6ib]

@agostocobain2729 Well, isn't that nice. Must be a very pathetic person if nearly killing himself doing something pathetic makes him a legend. Kinda pathetic if you find it legendary.

[@andrewnicon]

I think its funny that the cop was quite respectful and understanding of it all.

[@youfosignhere]

still a human man

[@robertchavez5137]

I remember this very well.

[@youfosignhere]

seems like many people do as well, i didn’t know it made such big news back then

[@Knobbelman]

yeah its sad what happened to this man but no one talks about how amazing that graffiti was on the bridge. Also love your videos YOUFO!

[@youfosignhere]

for sure man! and thank you !!

[@honestlyoffensivellc]

Ozie was vandalizing stuff all his life and karma got him

[@youfosignhere]

Ok Oz, now that we got your excruciating pain under control, you’re being charged with vandalism! Should’ve had a full time job instead.

Its pretty wild some of the places these guys are able to get to. It looks like he was able to finish the tag before he fell. I cant imagine the city is going to send anyone to clean up that risky spot 😅

[@youfosignhere]

Yeah that’s a wild spot for sure, I bet no one is cleaning that up hahaha!
