I remember this too. In 96 I was hitting the back of an abandoned drive-in movie theater screen and lost my footing, falling in between the back of the screen and another wall behind it. It was about 55 feet. Luckily I hit cross beams on the way down, that broke my fall. Fractured vertebrae broken wrist. I still paint to this day

@@youfosignherehey brotha, you should do a video on Acer! He said in an interview that he fell off a walkout/overpass like this and messed himself up really bad.
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.
My boyfriend of 14 years is in this video (4.48) before Evan (his BFF back then) speaks on camera. I have all the inside scoop on this story. In fact, it was one of the first stories he told me 14 years ago when we started dating.
my crewmate was doing a tag on a super read-hot spot above a very busy road and fell off like 25 meters. He recovered and is up and well now. love the videos, keep em up!!
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 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
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)
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
i love you youfo sorry havent commented in a bit hope you remember me! thanks for getting me into graffiti, i dont do it often anymore but ive got some stuff up and im pretty good now. love you man!
I dont think he slipped. I believe he jumped because he was about to get caught by the cops. That dude Pharoah LGF SOB caught this spot after him in stylistic fashion as well.
No, the asshole that he was with (my boyfriend of 14 years is in this video in one of the clips and was friends with him) thought he saw a helicopter or highway trooper and ditched him. He was hanging and couldn't hold on any longer and fell. They had walkie talkies and the asshole wasn't responding after ditching
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.
damn, never seen any of the news footage. i remeber reading a blogspot interview with ozie and it said him and his bud used those old fire escape chain ladders and it wasnt long enough to reach so he had no option but to jump now idk if that was even real ;(
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.
Crazy 1997. I’m on the 405 freeway headed north about in the a.m. hours I look up. I kind of seen something but didn’t pay attention when I came back on the 405 later on that morning heading south, I looked in the rearview mirror and I seen that ozie was like that is fresh two days later I see the news I see the newspaper article and I was like damn I seen that kid up there
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
one of the versions i heard was that he did have rope but wasnt strong enough to climb back up and eventually decided jumping down was the best option instead of getting caught lol
@ all I can say to that is that rope access workers and other at-height workers can either self-rescue or call for help, with, again, rope access equipment.
@@toolinaround-est2024True, I was in rope access for a few years but rigging for 11. All of my work was at height and most of us were trained for rope rescue, self rescue and we had a snazzy rescue system on hand at all sites

@ i think he couldn’t get back over and dude was just like you gotta jump down. Something like that. I was living in LA when this happened we had similar friend group
Damn it dude he alive tho thank Yeshua my little Italian man i hope He still good man I'm so passed but His work already set up He is now saved By CHRIST nothing will stop that nothing wrong with going thru shit. HE DEF prally still tagging lol
I disagree it's not art. It's vandalism and a cry for attention before the internet. I've seen clips of people being paid to do custom spray paint jobs on things like a laptop or a bag. And they actually looked like something. Not just a bunch of random letters smashed together.

He was so damn lucky man
Ooof. Not only breaking a dozen bones but also catching charges on top of it.
