Slackliner walks across LA's infamous Graffiti towers

I always learn something new from your videos!

GREAT FILMING MIKE THANKS 💯👍💪

Rebecca is cool! I love all the stuff you cover Mike, its very interesting! Thank you!

The amount of wasted resources for these buildings is another great example of where tax money is wasted.

[@kylec.8350]

All the cops sitting there all day is a huge waste.

[@stevemcgowen]

What should the city do with them?

[@lakenneth374]

The future of the towers and the potential for "expense recovery" ($6.5 million) largely depends on the outcome of the "sale" and the plans of the new developer.

[@derekforde7164]

Is the city billing the owners for the extra costs or is it basically welfare?

[@stevemcgowen]

@@derekforde7164 The owners are gone. They were a subsidy of Evergreen, which has collapsed. LA has taken over as conservatorship of the buildings. LA is stuck with them now.

[@westcoastmeshfighter8809]

Good for you sticking up for yourself, I have been following your channel since the lockdown & you have never encouraged anyone to do anything illegal, not ever. If they don't like your channel, then they can unsubscribe and move on! Always looking forward to them, thank you GIV!!

[@thelittlewildkat1]

GIV, please yourself, don't fall into the trap of pleasing others. Try to not make this like work!!! Enjoy yourself, and work hard on the things that are interesting and that you enjoy!! ❤ your real fans will watch you no matter what.

[@tracie62]

Thanks GIV as always

[@elvislovesme]

U crack me up! Don't ever lose your sense of humor 😂 & good heart ❤

[@kimsinclair9100]

I enjoy you showing us life in LA. The media won’t show it. I’m not a fan of graffiti everywhere but there is amazing talent out there.

[@therofal1]

Manchmal werden die besten Arbeiten nicht anerkannt. Auch ohne Gage - der Film ist toll geworden! Mach weiter!

Great work Mike! Look forward on watching all your videos! Getting better and better! Thanks Mike!

[@stephenforbesjr8187]

I always have more than enjoyed your vids, GIV...please, keep up the GREAT WORK and stay safe! From Denver with LOVE, Brother!!

[@SuperStargazer100]

Looking forward to more of your cool content Mike. I know it must of been really difficult closing the store but you have so much time now for quality videos. I'm positive your subcribers will double soon Mike. ☮💜🤙🏾

[@randystewart8895]

GIV, once again, great video and content. Many of us appreciate you documenting so many interesting things in your area. Keep up the great work!

[@Harleyanne774]

You just the man with the camera! No explanation needed

[@cynditrotter5731]

I appreciate how you don't pass judgement and just share things. It's a shame that people have so many negative opinions. People's opinions are none of my business. I really enjoy your videos. 🤗

[@kimmiarneson2907]

You bring real life experiences not fake news. I thank and applaud you 😊

[@joelfrombethlehem]

This was an EXCELLENT! Very well done on your part GiV Mike. I was in NYC on August 7th, 1974 when Philippe Petit highwired the 138 feet between the two towers of the original World Trade Towers. He was arrested afterward. All charges and fines were dropped when Petit agreed to do a high-wire performance for children.

[@paulkim9087]

Amazing balance and fearless! Enjoy life we all die soon or later😊

[@gi169]

This was an awesome video GiV, thank you...

[@jdsdeepcutsundaytracks4426]

Awesome episode of GiV !! Loved the alley segment, good info. My parents had a clothing business back in the 80’s/90’s and they would go every week to shop wholesale there ! Good memories

[@joemomoney13]

Love your videos ...... keep them coming.

[@kountification]

I think YT is over reacting on this one...I can understand they don't want the platform to become the source for promoting this type of action(yet it is still online) but they(slack liners) also publish else where so in the end it's out anyway... But Mike great work on this one!!!

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

, nothing like a GiV episode to lighten the day 👌🏻

[@PaPaYoda]

Right on Brother. 👍

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

@@PaPaYoda 😂 im a chick yo

[@keithnichols7926]

Your slack-line video is great ! If KZbin won't monetize it, they're missing a bet for sure. These two towers are in keeping with China's practice of building skyscrapers that sit unoccupied for years in various parts of their country. Maybe the wire-walkers of LA should go to China and work out on some of those. But I guess a slack line is a slack line wherever it is. However, it's too bad LA has to spend so much trying to keep people off the ones it has.

[@andrewfranklin2389]

He had a safety line on his leg. This pales in comparison to Phillipe and the Twin Towers. Nice work GIV.

[@tinytimbo456]

thank you again for the adventures

[@markzeahammer183]

German, Thanks for uploading something for me to watch tonight.

[@nightowl6811]

Yup, better than cable TV now

[@aquamarineblue8690]

I was laughing so hard inside watching you walk the wire. Your’er hilarious 😂😂😂🤣

[@guillermoflores122]

Good Job Mike! 👍 KEEPEM COMING. Thanks for doing what you’re doing!

[@gilenasimons7081]

Truly dystopian and apocalyptic. I’m sure Hollywood will profit from the fall of Los Angeles. Free sets. 🇬🇧

[@lexa_power]

I wish lol. They won’t help the unhoused population, but as a filmmaker i can guarantee you they will shut down your set with no permit very fast. They only care about stuff they can shut down. And Hollywood now is basically with whoever has money. Small budget and medium budget stuff doesn’t even get made anymore, it’s all blockbusters or nothing.

[@taoist32]

Unfortunately, or fortunately, Hollywood is also declining.

[@kkittycatkat1990]

Oh no! Mike. Never feed the trolls! Your audience is smart. We know citizen reporting, documentation, all the good stuff & the sad/real life stuff. I loved your opening joke! Your content is so good! We're here for it! Even Big Gulps at 2:30 a.m.! 👍🏻

[@monicalar6680]

Thanks again Mike. Hi to your sweet mother❤

[@AngelAngela-ee6zv]

Always enjoy your videos. You do things you enjoy and I love your perspective and your good nature. GIV rocks!!

Thanks GIV for the awesome video's you create, and I always hit the like before I start watching 😎

Love your response to the people in the beginning, lots of people complaining don't even live in LA or Cali, probably small town people from the south.

I believe there are a lot of people out there that don't fully grasp how thin the veneer is that keeps a civil society protected from caos. Don't think the unimaginable can only happen on the bg screen You DO NOT want to be in that movie. None of us do.

but dont u think GIV secretly wanted that guy to fall so he could get a billion views and be rich from it ?

Awesome Editing Mike 🎥 Better Than the news stations 🚨

[@johnskelton5683]

Stopping this is actually quite easy, if convicted of trespassing, convicted of graffiti, mandatory five years in a state prison, illegal to drive in California for five years, notwithstanding what other state driver license you obtain. No state licensing of ... for ten years, ie. a real estate license, business license, tattoo license or ... mandatory garnishment of monies earned like it is for child care and most importantly, the cost of all this management to enforce compliance be charged to the convicted. See folks, if this were to happen, then all who are convicted of such crimes will go away with nearly all moving out of California to do what they do in another state, destroy property of others. Something tells me other states aren't friendly to graffiti artist as much as California is! A second conviction seven years and a third ten years! 😮

[@Cheryl_izzy]

You have the most fun videos!!

[@Raymond-jq2nj]

I use to tag. Got tired of risking my life and freedom. Then started on canvas and paper. And then went commercial for parks and stores. You the man GiV.

[@joeterra.t]

Did you go back and apologize to the owners of the buildings you vandalized and clean it up?

Awesome coverage on theses buildings. You’re showing an in-depth look on what’s going on right now that will be a interesting part of history specially with the tight rope walking guy and all the information you got of him and you even showed how tight ropes work. It slightly reminds me of how Huell Howser would film an episode. Try not to worry about the crybabies who complain about your videos. Some people are just born to complain and look for things to complain about. Keep doing what you do Mike ✌️🙂
