Asian Rooftopping Daredevils To Follow On Instagram

The controversial death of Wu Yongning – the Chinese daredevil who fell from a 62-storey building chasing rooftops – led the frightening rooftopping and photography blog to reveal itself in public.

There are mixed opinions on how cool and dangerous rooftopping is. In case you didn’t know, most rooftoppers access rooftops illegally and literally put their lives at risk. They call themselves daredevils. They will walk on edges, hang on cranes, climb up sides of buildings, and sometimes jump from one building to the other just to get a good photo or footage. They do this without the harness or any safety gear.

This dangerous act has invited a lot of extremists. The danger fuels their excitement. With the threat of dying, extremists continue to do this and are becoming more popular especially in Asia where there are hundreds of stunning city skylines.

If you think rooftopping is cool, here are some of the so-called Asian daredevils and Asian rooftopping blog you should follow:
