00:00:17.04 --> 00:00:19.06
[ Life ] Hi, today I'm going to...

00:00:19.16 --> 00:00:21.12
dangle off the 14th...

00:00:22.01 --> 00:00:23.14
yeah, the 14th floor.

00:00:24.05 --> 00:00:28.00
[ Life ] I'll be doing the
sort of stunts roofers do.

00:00:28.03 --> 00:00:30.19
[ Life ] So I'll be like them. Film it!

00:00:31.18 --> 00:00:33.08
[ Life ] What an idiot!

00:00:35.12 --> 00:00:37.14
[ Life ] He's actually hanging off!

00:00:38.01 --> 00:00:40.21
[ Life ] Hi, everyone. I'm just hanging out.

00:00:41.07 --> 00:00:42.22
[ Life ] Imbecile!

00:00:43.08 --> 00:00:45.02
[ Life ] Jeez!

00:00:45.06 --> 00:00:46.24
[ Life ] As you see, I'm fine.

00:00:47.02 --> 00:00:49.23
[ Life ] Don't forget to like
my YouTube channel.

00:01:07.08 --> 00:01:09.18
[ Sergey ] My dream was to become famous,

00:01:09.21 --> 00:01:12.20
to pull off something incredible.

00:01:12.23 --> 00:01:16.00
[ Nikita ] Now, the
incredible is my daily life.

00:01:18.23 --> 00:01:21.05
[ Nikita ] I always wanted to be special,

00:01:21.08 --> 00:01:23.09
to stand out from the crowd,

00:01:23.12 --> 00:01:25.19
not to be like everyone else.

00:01:26.07 --> 00:01:30.12
[ Sergey ] It's a chance to show the whole
world what I'm capable of.

00:01:33.19 --> 00:01:38.00
[ Nikita ] You're so happy at that moment,
nothing else will do.

00:01:40.03 --> 00:01:42.19
[ Sergey ] Some people
are born to take risks.

00:01:47.11 --> 00:01:50.19
RAD OR DEAD

00:01:54.21 --> 00:01:56.12
[ GEO ] TYUMEN,
RUSSIA

00:01:56.14 --> 00:01:59.07
[ Sergey Devlyashov, extreme
man ] My name is Sergey Devlyashov.

00:01:59.14 --> 00:02:01.05
[ Sergey ] I live in Tyumen.

00:02:01.11 --> 00:02:04.06
[ Sergey ] I do parkour,
'buildering', roofing,

00:02:04.09 --> 00:02:07.00
anything and everything extreme.

00:02:07.04 --> 00:02:09.14
[ Sergey ] I've been
into sport my whole life.

00:02:09.18 --> 00:02:14.05
[ Sergey ] My grandma took me climbing
aged 8, and I did it till I was 18.

00:02:15.20 --> 00:02:19.07
[ Sergey ] I competed at
national, then European levels.

00:02:19.18 --> 00:02:23.05
[ Sergey ] But something strange happened.

00:02:23.10 --> 00:02:26.21
[ Sergey ] My finger joints
became swollen and painful.

00:02:28.03 --> 00:02:33.13
[ Sergey ] When you're 19,
all you crave is adrenaline.

00:02:33.19 --> 00:02:38.21
[ Sergey ] So I came up with a hobby
to fill the gap left by sport.

00:02:42.05 --> 00:02:45.21
[ Sergey ] I started using my
climbing skills on the street.

00:02:46.14 --> 00:02:48.16
[ Sergey ] Then I began to film myself.

00:02:48.20 --> 00:02:52.06
[ Sergey ] My debut video
gained half a million views.

00:02:53.05 --> 00:02:55.01
RUSSIAN SPIDERMAN
135,000 SOCIAL MEDIA SUBSCRIBERS

00:02:57.21 --> 00:03:01.04
[ Sergey ] When I climbed
up a gas pipe to a roof,

00:03:01.06 --> 00:03:06.00
[ Sergey ] I realised my potential was
much greater than I had thought.

00:03:08.02 --> 00:03:12.11
[ Sergey ] I'd just climbed 16 storeys
with no safety equipment.

00:03:14.19 --> 00:03:16.03
[ Life ] Man!

00:03:18.21 --> 00:03:22.11
[ Sergey ] That's when I
knew that this was my thing.

00:03:29.00 --> 00:03:31.20
[ Nikita ] My name is Nikita, I'm 21.

00:03:32.01 --> 00:03:33.24
[ Nikita ] I live in Murmansk.

00:03:34.01 --> 00:03:35.10
[ GEO ] MURMANSK,
RUSSIA

00:03:36.20 --> 00:03:40.19
[ Nikita ] I watched lots
of videos where people

00:03:40.22 --> 00:03:45.05
calmly walk up to the edge and sit on it,

00:03:45.20 --> 00:03:47.22
and other extreme stunts.

00:03:48.00 --> 00:03:52.04
[ Nikita Belyakov Extreme man ] I was fascinated
and envious as I wanted to do that too.

00:03:55.05 --> 00:03:59.09
[ Nikita ] In my first video I recorded
myself walking on my hands

00:03:59.14 --> 00:04:02.20
along the edge of a 14-storey building.

00:04:02.23 --> 00:04:07.10
[ Nikita ] I posted it online and the media
immediately picked up on it.

00:04:07.13 --> 00:04:12.05
[ Nikita ] That was the first time
I became the centre of debate.

00:04:12.07 --> 00:04:16.11
[ Nikita ] I enjoyed it:
doing stunts on roofs,

00:04:16.14 --> 00:04:23.12
coming up with new stunts
to film and surprise people.

00:04:27.16 --> 00:04:32.00
[ Nikita ] I study at Murmansk
State Technical University.

00:04:32.06 --> 00:04:33.13
[ Nikita ] My parents...

00:04:34.02 --> 00:04:38.07
insisted that I specialise in shipbuilding.

00:04:39.24 --> 00:04:44.18
[ Nikita ] Personally, I'd
prefer a more creative career,

00:04:45.08 --> 00:04:48.13
related to photography and the extreme.

00:04:54.05 --> 00:04:57.05
[ Nikita ] There are two of
us: my friend Danila and I

00:04:57.08 --> 00:05:00.06
work closely on our videos and photos.

00:05:01.05 --> 00:05:02.13
[ Danila ] Hi!

00:05:02.24 --> 00:05:05.15
[ Nikita ] We need to climb a crane.

00:05:05.19 --> 00:05:07.16
[ Nikita ] Which did we climb before?

00:05:07.20 --> 00:05:09.24
[ Danila ] That one.
[ Nikita ] The same one?

00:05:10.21 --> 00:05:13.04
[ Nikita ] What about that one?
[ Danila ] No.

00:05:13.10 --> 00:05:15.08
[ Danila ] You'd get stopped.

00:05:15.12 --> 00:05:18.14
[ Danila ] The soldiers
will ask you for a pass.

00:05:19.11 --> 00:05:21.21
[ Nikita ] Look, movement on the platform.

00:05:21.24 --> 00:05:24.02
[ Danila ] They'll be asleep by morning.

00:05:24.05 --> 00:05:26.09
[ Nikita ] We have to do it tomorrow.

00:05:26.15 --> 00:05:28.11
[ Danila ] He wants to be famous.

00:05:28.21 --> 00:05:30.05
[ Danila ] He really does.

00:05:30.18 --> 00:05:32.02
[ Danila ] He'd love it.

00:05:33.18 --> 00:05:35.18
[ Danila ] But it won't happen,

00:05:36.11 --> 00:05:38.11
if you're sitting at home.

00:05:38.16 --> 00:05:43.00
[ Danila ] You have to promote your channel
by posting photos and videos.

00:05:49.01 --> 00:05:52.07
[ Nikita ] I think of
myself as an 'extremer',

00:05:52.13 --> 00:05:57.11
a crazy guy who puts on a show.

00:05:57.14 --> 00:06:00.04
[ Nikita ] When you do something extreme,

00:06:00.06 --> 00:06:02.19
you get an adrenaline rush,

00:06:02.20 --> 00:06:03.22
NIKITA DEFT
23,000 SOCIAL MEDIA SUBSCRIBERS

00:06:04.05 --> 00:06:07.15
and you feel like the
happiest person on earth.

00:06:14.18 --> 00:06:18.09
[ Sergey ] How an 'extremer'
spends his morning. An epic video.

00:06:18.23 --> 00:06:20.15
[ Sergey's mother ] I don't want to watch it.

00:06:21.19 --> 00:06:23.02
[ Sergey's mother ] What's so funny?

00:06:25.05 --> 00:06:28.08
[ Sergey's mother ] Do you use no
safety gear at all? 
[ Sergey ] Not here.

00:06:28.11 --> 00:06:30.15
[ Sergey ] It's like climbing a ladder.

00:06:31.09 --> 00:06:36.04
[ Sergey ] Obviously, my family have
long tried to talk me out of it.

00:06:37.01 --> 00:06:40.02
[ Sergey ] As soon as I climb
something or post a video,

00:06:40.05 --> 00:06:44.09
[ Sergey ] I try to tell my mum first
so she doesn't find out on the news.

00:06:46.05 --> 00:06:49.05
[ Sergey's mother ] Of course
I wish he'd stop climbing,

00:06:49.07 --> 00:06:52.10
and achieve something with his life.

00:06:52.13 --> 00:06:55.19
[ Sergey's mother ] Youngsters
climbing buildings is scary.

00:06:55.24 --> 00:06:58.05
[ Sergey's mother ] There
have been so many deaths.

00:06:58.14 --> 00:07:00.19
[ Sergey's mother ] How can you stop him?

00:07:00.22 --> 00:07:03.24
[ Sergey's mother ] You
can't chain him to a radiator.

00:07:04.03 --> 00:07:06.13
[ Sergey's mother ] We
just have to put up with it.

00:07:09.01 --> 00:07:11.00
[ Sergey ] We're always too late.

00:07:11.09 --> 00:07:14.01
[ Sergey ] We might be removing some roofers.

00:07:15.02 --> 00:07:18.16
[ Sergey ] There was a bit of a media frenzy

00:07:18.20 --> 00:07:22.09
because a rescue worker
found me on social media.

00:07:22.12 --> 00:07:25.09
[ Sergey ] He'd heard of
the 'Tyumen Spiderman'.

00:07:25.12 --> 00:07:27.24
[ Sergey ] It spread like wildfire.

00:07:28.04 --> 00:07:30.20
[ Sergey ] It worked out fine in the end.

00:07:30.23 --> 00:07:33.09
[ Sergey ] Management is aware of my hobby.

00:07:33.13 --> 00:07:38.20
[ Sergey ] At work I'm a
professional, not an 'extremer'.

00:07:40.10 --> 00:07:43.05
[ Life ] They always hung
out in entrance no. 1.

00:07:47.00 --> 00:07:48.08
[ Life ] Is it open?

00:07:52.14 --> 00:07:56.12
[ Life ] There's an ambulance downstairs.
- That's for her.

00:07:57.05 --> 00:07:59.07
[ Life ] Who was dangling their feet?

00:07:59.10 --> 00:08:01.13
[ Life ] What are you talking about?

00:08:01.16 --> 00:08:04.21
[ Life ] We could see your faces from below.

00:08:04.24 --> 00:08:07.08
[ Life ] They weren't feet, were they?

00:08:07.18 --> 00:08:09.22
[ Life ] We took the teens off the roof.

00:08:10.00 --> 00:08:13.07
[ Life ] Tell the building's
management to fit a lock.

00:08:14.08 --> 00:08:15.20
[ Life ] Copy that.

00:08:16.15 --> 00:08:21.10
[ Sergey ] As a kid, I never thought
about hanging out on the roof.

00:08:21.13 --> 00:08:25.13
[ Sergey ] It wasn't a thing. But it's
a popular movement now.

00:08:26.19 --> 00:08:29.19
[ Sergey ] There was this
guy who loved roofing.

00:08:29.22 --> 00:08:33.22
[ Sergey ] He wrote saying he loved
roofs and praised my videos.

00:08:35.05 --> 00:08:38.20
[ Sergey ] Later, his relatives wrote
to me from his account

00:08:38.23 --> 00:08:41.08
to say he'd fallen to his death.

00:08:42.21 --> 00:08:44.07
[ Sergey ] I was really...

00:08:44.18 --> 00:08:48.02
upset and seriously depressed,

00:08:48.07 --> 00:08:52.01
although I've tried to
be as clear as possible:

00:08:52.04 --> 00:08:54.14
don't copy anything I do.

00:08:54.18 --> 00:08:59.02
[ Sergey ] It isn't just
incredibly dangerous, it's lethal.

00:09:01.06 --> 00:09:04.22
[ Film ] Dan, go and walk along the edge?
- Film it then!

00:09:06.00 --> 00:09:07.15
[ Film ] It's slippery, don't.

00:09:07.19 --> 00:09:09.09
[ Film ] Let's go!

00:09:16.06 --> 00:09:17.16
[ Film ] Careful!

00:09:21.16 --> 00:09:23.15
[ Film ] I wouldn't do that!

00:09:27.20 --> 00:09:29.06
[ Film ] Aleksey!

00:09:41.16 --> 00:09:44.18
[ Danila ] So, let's go? No time to lose.

00:09:50.05 --> 00:09:52.05
[ Nikita ] Did anyone come out?

00:09:52.14 --> 00:09:54.10
[ Nikita ] Have we been spotted?

00:09:57.01 --> 00:09:58.05
[ Danila ] Go!

00:10:41.23 --> 00:10:43.12
[ Nikita ] Yes, man!

00:10:47.13 --> 00:10:49.05
[ Danila ] Let's take a pic?

00:11:04.23 --> 00:11:09.08
[ Nikita ] It's craziest when you
walk around that thing...

00:11:09.11 --> 00:11:12.02
[ Danila ] Yeah!
[ Nikita ] There's water below,

00:11:12.05 --> 00:11:16.16
so if you lost control
you'd end up in the water.

00:11:17.01 --> 00:11:20.11
[ Danila ] Just regular guys
who want to be famous.

00:11:22.10 --> 00:11:25.22
[ Danila ] Don't forget to
like and subscribe! We're...

00:11:26.20 --> 00:11:29.23
[ Nikita ] Danny Favilla...
- ...and Nikita Deft.

00:11:33.01 --> 00:11:35.06
[ GEO ] MOSCOW,
RUSSIA

00:11:37.05 --> 00:11:39.03
[ Nikita ] 
I'd like to travel...

00:11:40.15 --> 00:11:44.10
to places where there
are more tall buildings.

00:11:46.22 --> 00:11:50.13
[ Sergey ] I mostly climb
residential buildings.

00:11:51.15 --> 00:11:56.22
[ Sergey ] My 'dream' right
now is to climb a skyscraper.

00:12:07.19 --> 00:12:11.05
[ Nikita ] I first came here
to take pictures and videos.

00:12:11.08 --> 00:12:15.08
[ Nikita ] Getting on the premises
will be tough, because...

00:12:16.06 --> 00:12:19.23
lots of people trigger the security system.

00:12:20.09 --> 00:12:23.14
[ Nikita ] I found a guy
who knows the city well,

00:12:23.18 --> 00:12:27.03
and how to access the buildings.

00:12:27.06 --> 00:12:29.07
[ Nikita ] So I'm relying on him.

00:12:38.22 --> 00:12:41.15
[ Sergey ] My main goal
is Moscow City, of course.

00:12:41.19 --> 00:12:45.00
[ Sergey ] It's the only
skyscraper district in Russia.

00:12:45.03 --> 00:12:49.04
[ Sergey ] I studied almost every square
metre of each skyscraper,

00:12:49.06 --> 00:12:51.13
and concluded that...

00:12:52.05 --> 00:12:56.04
only one can be climbed from bottom to top

00:12:56.06 --> 00:12:58.19
unaided: the Eurasia Tower.

00:12:59.22 --> 00:13:04.08
[ Sergey ] To be sure of the route,
I'll have to get my hands on it

00:13:04.11 --> 00:13:08.04
and climb a couple of
floors illegally at night.

00:13:08.06 --> 00:13:11.14
[ Sergey ] That way, when
I attempt the whole route,

00:13:11.18 --> 00:13:13.20
[ Sergey ] I can be sure of climbing it.

00:13:18.10 --> 00:13:22.10
[ Nikita ] The guys and I are trying
to get into Imperia Tower.

00:13:23.06 --> 00:13:27.07
[ Nikita ] My guide Artyom is waiting
for me at the agreed spot.

00:13:32.04 --> 00:13:35.12
[ Nikita ] Hi, I'm Nikita.
- I'm Artyom.

00:13:35.16 --> 00:13:38.04
[ Artyom ] There will be little time because

00:13:38.06 --> 00:13:40.20
there are two cameras on the roof.

00:13:40.23 --> 00:13:46.04
[ Artyom ] There might be security,
so we'll take a couple of quick shots...

00:13:46.06 --> 00:13:48.13
...then we'll bail.

00:13:48.20 --> 00:13:51.16
[ Nikita ] How many metres high is it?
- 240.

00:13:51.21 --> 00:13:53.21
[ Nikita ] An exciting number.

00:14:01.20 --> 00:14:03.12
[ Life ] It's rolling.

00:14:18.22 --> 00:14:20.13
[ Life ] Look what we did!

00:14:20.24 --> 00:14:22.13
[ Life ] Freedom!

00:14:23.19 --> 00:14:26.01
[ Life ] Stay out of sight!

00:14:33.05 --> 00:14:35.11
[ Life ] Careful! Don't shake it!

00:14:36.00 --> 00:14:40.01
[ Life ] Stop! Don't go there,
you're freaking me out.

00:14:43.08 --> 00:14:46.04
[ Life ] Careful, careful, Nikita! It's weak.

00:14:49.03 --> 00:14:51.19
[ Life ] It could give way at any time, man!

00:14:52.01 --> 00:14:54.00
[ Life ] I know from last time.

00:14:55.09 --> 00:14:57.05
[ Life ] It's really shaky.

00:15:00.14 --> 00:15:02.04
[ Life ] We've been spotted.

00:15:03.07 --> 00:15:05.05
[ Life ] Let's pack up and go.

00:15:05.15 --> 00:15:07.23
[ Life ] But not that way, it might snap.

00:15:08.01 --> 00:15:09.10
[ Life ] Come on, let's go!

00:15:15.05 --> 00:15:17.04
[ Nikita ] I can't convey the feeling.

00:15:17.06 --> 00:15:19.21
[ Nikita ] I've never
felt anything like that.

00:15:20.05 --> 00:15:23.05
[ Nikita ] I guess this is
what sets Moscow apart.

00:15:23.07 --> 00:15:26.05
[ Artyom ] The sense of
freedom is why I go on roofs.

00:15:26.07 --> 00:15:28.05
[ Nikita ] And it can't be bought.

00:15:28.07 --> 00:15:30.03
[ Nikita ] That's being alive!

00:15:42.02 --> 00:15:45.16
[ Sergey ] This tower, gleaming in the sky,

00:15:45.23 --> 00:15:47.18
is the Eurasia Tower

00:15:49.07 --> 00:15:53.05
that I have decided to climb.

00:15:54.20 --> 00:15:57.20
[ Sergey ] I'm testing its
sturdiness this evening.

00:15:57.23 --> 00:16:01.03
[ Sergey ] To do so, I'll have
to climb about 5 storeys.

00:16:01.05 --> 00:16:04.03
[ Sergey ] Let me explain:
I watched it being built,

00:16:04.05 --> 00:16:07.10
and understood the system of construction.

00:16:07.13 --> 00:16:10.03
[ Sergey ] If I can climb
the first 5 storeys,

00:16:10.05 --> 00:16:13.03
the next 5 will be the same, and so on.

00:16:33.07 --> 00:16:36.05
[ Sergey ] If only it were
a little narrower. Damn.

00:16:36.09 --> 00:16:40.19
[ Sergey ] I'd hoped to cling on between
the window frame and the panel,

00:16:40.22 --> 00:16:44.03
but I couldn't even
fit half a fingertip in.

00:16:46.00 --> 00:16:49.01
[ Sergey ] I'm really not
sure about the route now.

00:16:50.00 --> 00:16:52.14
[ Sergey ] There's one
thing I haven't checked.

00:16:53.16 --> 00:16:55.18
[ Sergey ] Yes. I'm climbing again.

00:17:07.15 --> 00:17:09.14
[ Sergey ] I can't believe it.

00:17:10.14 --> 00:17:14.01
[ Sergey ] You can climb
it using the wind dampers.

00:17:14.08 --> 00:17:15.19
[ Sergey ] It's very sharp.

00:17:15.22 --> 00:17:19.18
[ Sergey ] You'd cut your fingers
if you kept grabbing the edges.

00:17:19.21 --> 00:17:21.13
[ Sergey ] So I'll wrap my hands.

00:17:21.16 --> 00:17:24.05
[ Sergey ] I'm so excited right now!

00:17:39.01 --> 00:17:44.18
[ Nikita ] I've come to climb a building
known as 'The Two Captains'.

00:17:44.22 --> 00:17:46.20
[ Nikita ] The roof construction...

00:17:46.24 --> 00:17:52.05
makes it possible to do dangerous stunts.

00:17:52.08 --> 00:17:54.09
[ Nikita ] You can get dangerous shots.

00:17:54.12 --> 00:17:59.05
[ Nikita ] We received a tip-off that
one of the buildings is open,

00:17:59.08 --> 00:18:02.18
so the guys and I will
try to get to the top.

00:18:16.01 --> 00:18:17.11
[ Artyom ] Turn the sound off.

00:18:17.16 --> 00:18:19.05
[ Artyom ] Doves!

00:18:23.13 --> 00:18:25.05
[ Artyom ] Close it behind you.

00:18:29.07 --> 00:18:33.00
[ Artyom ] It's a normal day below,
while Nikita hops around.

00:18:51.23 --> 00:18:54.15
[ Artyom ] Great! What a shot!

00:18:54.24 --> 00:18:56.18
[ Artyom ] He almost fell off!

00:19:01.05 --> 00:19:03.04
[ Artyom ] Cops!

00:19:04.06 --> 00:19:05.20
[ Life ] Why are you hiding?

00:19:06.12 --> 00:19:10.07
[ Life ] Give me your bag or I'll cuff you.
- I'll give it to you.

00:19:17.05 --> 00:19:19.05
[ Nikita ] They gave me the talk.

00:19:19.18 --> 00:19:22.21
[ Nikita ] 'Where are you
registered? Where do you live?'

00:19:22.24 --> 00:19:25.24
[ Nikita ] 'How did you get there?
Why did you break in…?'

00:19:26.11 --> 00:19:28.07
[ Artyom ] But we didn't break in.

00:19:28.10 --> 00:19:31.11
[ Artyom ] Our video shows
all the doors were open.

00:19:33.07 --> 00:19:35.07
[ Artyom ] They freaked out!

00:19:43.18 --> 00:19:45.20
[ Sergey ] You can get in safely.

00:19:45.23 --> 00:19:48.16
[ Sergey ] Let's make sure
no one dies today, ok?

00:19:54.20 --> 00:19:59.04
[ Sergey ] Today was my first
ever event for subscribers.

00:19:59.07 --> 00:20:03.08
[ Sergey ] My followers came to say hello.

00:20:03.12 --> 00:20:05.00
[ Sergey ] Wave everyone!

00:20:17.02 --> 00:20:19.05
[ Boy ] I can't do this with my bag on.

00:20:19.09 --> 00:20:21.06
[ Boy ] Someone hold it, please.

00:20:22.24 --> 00:20:28.18
[ Boy ] I do roofing for the thrill of it.

00:20:28.22 --> 00:20:31.14
[ Boy ] When you're climbing a high-rise

00:20:31.18 --> 00:20:34.06
and look down, it's a huge rush!

00:20:34.19 --> 00:20:37.19
[ Boy ] My parents would
obviously be worried,

00:20:37.22 --> 00:20:40.11
and would want to know why I do it.

00:20:40.14 --> 00:20:44.21
[ Boy ] So it's better to hide it,
and just do what you enjoy.

00:20:46.05 --> 00:20:49.24
[ Sergey ] If they like doing this,
at least let them do it right.

00:20:50.02 --> 00:20:53.20
[ Sergey ] It's my job to make people
know the difference because

00:20:53.23 --> 00:20:57.12
with what's happening on YouTube now,

00:20:57.15 --> 00:21:00.08
there have been hundreds of deaths.

00:21:00.11 --> 00:21:04.08
[ Sergey ] People do things
just to follow a trend.

00:21:04.11 --> 00:21:08.09
[ Sergey ] It's my job to make people
know the difference between

00:21:09.01 --> 00:21:13.09
professionals and people
who aren't worth imitating.

00:21:13.13 --> 00:21:15.21
[ Sergey ] Meetings like this help too.

00:21:26.18 --> 00:21:29.05
[ Sergey ] I'm not fearless, far from it.

00:21:30.05 --> 00:21:34.06
[ Sergey ] When I have a
route in mind, I get scared,

00:21:34.09 --> 00:21:38.07
thinking of all the ways I might fall off.

00:21:38.11 --> 00:21:42.12
[ Sergey ] But that fear allows me
to take everything into account.

00:21:44.13 --> 00:21:48.22
[ Sergey ] I'm wearing a climbing safety
device with a rope attached.

00:21:49.00 --> 00:21:52.09
[ Sergey ] If I cut myself
or get cramp or something,

00:21:52.12 --> 00:21:56.11
[ Sergey ] I'll attach the rope,
lock the device and hang off it.

00:21:57.00 --> 00:21:58.21
[ Sergey ] I'm nervous, of course.

00:22:05.04 --> 00:22:07.00
[ Sergey ] Shall we make history?

00:22:51.15 --> 00:22:53.01
[ Sergey ] I'll have a rest.

00:22:53.04 --> 00:22:55.08
[ Sergey ] Security is everywhere...

00:23:02.21 --> 00:23:04.20
[ Sergey ] Floor 13...

00:23:05.05 --> 00:23:06.15
...of 50.

00:23:11.06 --> 00:23:14.02
[ Life ] Go on Instagram, you'll flip out.

00:23:14.05 --> 00:23:18.11
[ Life ] There are so many cops.
If they take him it'll be serious.

00:23:30.05 --> 00:23:31.12
[ Sergey ] Come on...

00:23:32.00 --> 00:23:33.11
come on.

00:23:35.13 --> 00:23:40.03
[ Sergey ] They'll be coming down off
the roof towards me soon...

00:23:40.05 --> 00:23:42.07
[ Sergey ] So I have to hurry...

00:23:43.15 --> 00:23:45.23
[ Sergey ] Get these 50 floors done.

00:24:18.18 --> 00:24:20.08
[ Sergey ] I feel terrible.

00:24:22.06 --> 00:24:24.09
[ Sergey ] Sick all of a sudden.

00:24:25.13 --> 00:24:28.05
[ Sergey ] I underestimated the route.

00:24:28.08 --> 00:24:32.00
[ Sergey ] This little rope
is saving my life right now.

00:24:32.05 --> 00:24:36.22
[ Sergey ] I even
considered not bringing it...

00:24:38.15 --> 00:24:41.20
...as I'm so great. Yeah, right.

00:24:41.23 --> 00:24:43.00
[ Sergey ] Guys!

00:24:43.11 --> 00:24:45.03
[ Sergey ] Do you have any water?

00:24:59.12 --> 00:25:03.00
[ Sergey ] Five floors. Five more spurts...

00:25:03.03 --> 00:25:06.18
...and I'll be there. Got to keep climbing.

00:25:21.02 --> 00:25:23.11
[ Life ] He's up. Thank God.

00:25:26.05 --> 00:25:27.20
[ Life ] He's up, thank God.

00:25:28.01 --> 00:25:30.05
[ Life ] Good afternoon, sir.
- Hello.

00:25:30.08 --> 00:25:31.20
[ Life ] What's your name?

00:25:33.04 --> 00:25:34.15
[ Life ] Sergey.

00:25:34.20 --> 00:25:39.10
[ Life ] Article 21 of the Police Act
states I may handcuff you...

00:25:39.15 --> 00:25:42.21
...to detain you at
the local police station.

00:25:42.22 --> 00:25:44.03
ARTICLE 20.17 OF THE RUSSIAN
FEDERATION’S ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENCES CODE,

00:25:44.03 --> 00:25:45.14
STIPULATES A PENALTY OF 3000 RUBLES($52)
FOR “THREPASSING ON A SECURED FACILITY”

00:25:54.18 --> 00:25:58.05
[ Nikita ] The attention
is what I like about it.

00:25:58.08 --> 00:26:01.01
[ Nikita ] I want to be talked about,

00:26:01.04 --> 00:26:03.00
to be famous,

00:26:03.09 --> 00:26:05.01
to be popular for what I do.

00:26:07.16 --> 00:26:11.05
[ Nikita ] Life is fascinating.
I've never regretted

00:26:11.07 --> 00:26:14.06
getting involved in extreme activities.

00:26:19.06 --> 00:26:23.10
[ Sergey ] I turn my dreams into goals
that I reach, and keep going.

00:26:23.14 --> 00:26:28.14
[ Sergey ] It's a thrill. I need
to go higher, I need more.

00:26:28.18 --> 00:26:31.05
[ Sergey ] I've been into this for a decade,

00:26:31.07 --> 00:26:33.05
and I'm just getting started.
