- Shocking video captured a daredevil walking a rope between two downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers, a vacant site that has become infamously known as the graffiti towers. A video from RUclipsr Ben Schneider shows him climbing atop Oceanwide Plaza and walking across a slackline attached between the two towers.
Schneider, a self-proclaimed performance artist and daredevil, posts videos under the RUclips handle “Reckless Ben” and has amassed over 350,000 subscribers.
Inside the building, he and his team members climbed 500 feet up the tower to string together multiple times to string together and tighten two one-inch nylon straps between the two towers. While holding a camera attached to a selfie stick, Schneider carefully mounts the line and begins walking across the rope, his camera capturing the soaring viewpoint and moving traffic down below.

don't fall, you might land on a syringe
😂
Lmao is not untrue!
LOL! I can see all these buildings when I look out my bedroom window!
@@seanlee2250 did you see it live when they were being vandalized?
LMAO!
Looks like he has a harness plus a possible chute on his back.
I dont blame him, he does not want to FAFO 😂
what yall expect if you make a building just to keep empty? lol.
News outlets need to understand the press coverage is what these social idiots want! The more you cover them and give them screen time, the more often this will happen
I wouldn't take his advice
This isn't living your best life
I just hope he doesn't become an episode of "what happened to him"
You are so L.A. if you’ve ever said, “I don’t do this full-time…I work at a VR startup.”
“We pretended we were a religious cult. We held signs that said ‘Jesus Saves’ ….”
2 secs later:
“I’m a moral artist”
Alright.
How embarrassing for LAPD. By the way, nobody better than Rick Chambers!
😂😂😂 its all in the name is Jesus 😂😂😂😂
Not any worse for LAPD than the fireworks disposal incident that rendered a neighborhood uninhabitable.
There were active fireworks for HOURS at sepulvada and La Tijera over the weekend - LAPD didn’t ever come. Not surprised- but really? Yea yea- they’ve got biggie issues- but so close to lax? Hmmm
impressed until he said, "safety harness."
Not easily impressed huh?? Gee wiz!
Noticed the harness too---thank goodness for that. Still insane.
He said the reward outweigh the risk. What in the sane universe is he trying to imply? What reward is there is one mistake happens? Such high altitude have high winds and if you lose balance, it is all over my friend. I would never ever walk across that line even if you pay me 1 million dollars with a harness on.
Chicken 🐔
GOD BLESS THAT BRAVE SOUL! Say what you will about his Art but you can not deny his bravery!! WOW!!
He’s wearing a bass jump style parachute. There is nothing dangerous about what he was doing. Are you a sucker?
This guy is a hero.. lol the way the news uses negative buzz words to discourage awesome feats of human courage to please the cops is transparent.. not a single human being with a heart doesn't think this is awesome.
Philippe Petit would be proud of him
Watch the movie "The walk" 2015
@@martik778 I did great movie 👍
I mean even with a safety harness thats no guarantee at that height! A hundred things could go wrong the harness could snap that is bravery! Sheer reckless, foolhardy but pure bravery! Out of a hundred people you would be lucky to find one more person willing to go through with this as long as he did! Wow!
Bringing awareness to those graffiti skyscrapers...good on you
Whoa that’s some death wish!
At its finest
Driving a car is much much more dangerous, especially in LA. There's really no risk tight rope walking if there's a harness. The risk of him falling AND that harness failing is far less than the risk of getting killed in a car accident in LA.
Reckless Ben rocks
Damn smh his death calling him slowly..
Street pizza anyone?
Some guy tried jumping from the very to of our tallest building in the state of Kansas which is 385 feet high. That was like 8 years ago. The guy stood up to look over the edge of the building and the Wichita police grabbed him before he went over. He probably would have been pavement pizza had he succeeded.
More like pozole yummy 😋
@@Andc-uw4lr Birria!
When I saw someone had done this, I knew immediately it was Ben.
Why did I watch this I hate heights this gave me anxiety
NUT
I really do wonder how much time and effort the LAPD put into doing a floor by floor search of both towers to nail this guy. Do you really think they went up to the top floors both times, without working elevators??
Next time he probably won’t be so lucky
So we know who they are, where are the arrests?
Oh finally its not beans and graffiti
Sorry people but he doesn't watch final destination
Dude never fear height.
There's nothing reckless about this. It's ballsy!
that was awesome reporting from a streetcorner at night,good work sarc
For anyone else attempting to do this… don’t forget your safety harness 😂
😂😂
this guy needs to be arrested!
Good luck out there.
where's the video?
Just reckless lol
Hopefully you're doing all this for yourself and not the internet junkies... 🍀 Stay safe and never dover
you got it allll wrong !!...the criminals coming across the border and the biden syndicate all need to be arrested !!
At least he had a safety harness
I see you Trojan Warrior.... Fight on!
If he got away he should not be charged.
Did they consider that the slack line will reduce tension as the buildings sway?
We not listening to past tense energy. Clearly he knew what he was doing because it was a success.
His hands look weird, exactly like the funky hands in AI videos.
Boy he’s one crazy daredevil who’s not afraid to die. 😨
THE BALLS 😭😭😭🔥🔥🫡
You've seen them? 😹😹😹😹😅😅😅
@@wwesux2786😂😂
PRETTY COOL...GLAD U R SAFE..GREAT PiCS
Self proclaimed. The shade.
What if the line broke or someone untied an end?
He's wearing a harness...
who cares
Going to try this out myself 😊
Cher Calvin seems so angry and cold these days, i hope she's alright. She used to feel so warm
BEN IZ THE BESST!!!!!
Don’t burn yourself out now and get caught up
Trespasser ? The guy is super human.
Do positive creative things for health and improvement....
try cycling.....
exercise.....
helping the homeless....
build things.....
make things....
.
it's not an egocentric clout grab?
Do something else.
It reminds me of Philippe Petit tightrope walk across the New York Twin Towers back in 1974.
Yeah they pledged millions of dollars to clean that plays up and they haven't at all so whatever
Don’t fall, the harness will save you!
Reckless ben is dope, he also helped get some weirdos torture attraction shut down
If he falls, well, he will only fall on homeless people and mattresses. Very safe if you do this in L.A.
Now L.A.P.D has video as evidence 🤔
He’s not gonna die if he falls cause he’s connected to the line he’s not a fool this guy would know he would put his family through stress and pain
Insane
The building built for 15 min. of freaks.
Nah this dude becoming twin tower history
Just like in New York in 74
Nathan Fielder is that you?
If he's not vandalizing, then he's trespassing. simple. He also has incriminating evidence of him doing so. So of course he'll be fined and tried in court.
Self proclaimed?
Legend
Reckless Ben probably on social media
Kinda dope - ngl
but they know who you are so.... and if you fell, you have a safety cable.. not so scary.
Yikes
Dabney Coleman has died?? I had no idea !
😱😱😱
Safety harness?
Yes, the safety harness! It’s so he doesn’t hit the ground so hard!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the next Generation... No rules and no Respect... Wait until other kids try this on your property...
FREE RECKLESS BEN!
Hell no
Attention who’re
Artist? More like dingus
Let da Rap Artist *Top Tat* It can't be done
Leave it up to KTLA to glorify illegal activity
His girlfriend’s favorite song is because your mine I walk the line ....by Johnny Cash
Omg 😱
Why is He wearing a USC Sweater?
Fight On
✌✌
it’s an abandoned building who cares. they aren’t trespassing
Do it without safety harness.
😮
Arrest him and give him 30 days.
So who gets arrested?
Jump jump
All for likes !! Reckless, someone will try to copy and have a bad outcome!! He has stupid logic!!
I mean , I could literally do this if I learned how to slack rope Or whatever it's called..
Now without protection hell no
Impressive but nothing compared to Phillip Petite
Harmless entertainment everybody wins! Except for maybe the police for being duped again
Only in LA!
Harness lolllll
Well the guy considers himself an "artist" and not a "daredevil", so will give him a pass on wearing a safety harness. But I still hope he gets fined or something.
Religious cult ? This man needs prayer 🙏🏾
Agreed! Jesus does save and he needs him!
I bet he could be a stunt daredevil for Hollywood.
Do they even need those anymore with CGI?
Hopefully he's ok
Escaped the Police?
They know your Name and your face and video is Proof lol
Trespassers admitting to crimes on camera.
