A younger generation of urban explorers are rediscovering NYC and posting their exploits on Instagram where they have thousands of followers. These New Yorkers are scaling to the tops of bridges and exploring below the streets of New York in abandoned subways.

"You step outside, you risk your life.
You take a drink of water, you risk your life.
And nowadays you breathe, and risk your life.
every moment now, you don't have a choice.
The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for."

Don Donaldson Photography
Sweet, got my followers. they are real. Thanks *InstaSharks*
Don Donaldson Photography Can't believe how good *InstaSharks* worked compared to the other sites. And they are 100% REAL like they say!
+Don Donaldson Photography Will you be in the city sometime in the next 2 weeks?
Don't get "shot" now.
I literally loved this film! It inspired me to go out and shoot more in my own city. Photography is a passion and that passion fuels something inside of you to go out and make sure you get the shot you want. That is what I love about photography.
Cool!

What happened?
Karim Dulatov He was train suffering while drunk and fell off. Rip🐐.
This is fantastic. I remember blogs where people recorded their journeys. Instagram is a game changer! Great video, can't wait to see more Seeker Stories!
RIP Heavy_minds
So much respect for these guys! Keep doing what you love while you can!
i'm getting serious vertigo just watching this
I love this!! I'm an urban explorer and photographer (IG:@hennessyvander) based in LA, so I can totally relate. It's mostly rooftops and ruins here on the West Coast, but it's always amazing nonetheless. You don't know satisfaction until you've climbed endless flights of stairs, discover a way into a rooftop where you're not supposed to be, and sit at the edge, just drinking in the life and vibrancy around you. Each experience is worth the many risks involved. And Instagram's truly a valuable networking tool among us photographers and models. This episode covered a good portion of what we do, and I loved every second of it. Hope to see more like it!!
sad that you cant really do things like that where i live
+Egoist Futuristic you think they "can" do it in new york? lol
i meant location wise , we aint got high buildings for shit here :D
very fun to watch and see what young, wild and free people are doing in artistic photography.
Sick! Would like to see more videos like these
Nice video guys glad the Urbex world is expanding
Man, I used to do this as a teenager. It started as skate videos too. Now I'm all nostalgic and I'm psyched to try it again..
I need people like this in Amsterdam
Looks like fun, but I wouldn't go up there without a harness personally. I value life too much.
291xMac wiiiiiimp. XD
Ha ha, I am a firefighter though so I can't be too much of a wimp
291xMac well then i take what i said back
+291xMac We also value our lives, but some of us don't waste it being told whats beyond our limits. You never know what life has to offer until you see for yourself. cheers!
+thatdirtyrascal agreed!!! I'm just not a fan of 200+ foot falls. I prefer to go fast :)
Yes I've been waiting for a video like this love it !!!!
Wish I could do that or part of it when I visit NY one day.
Thanks for this unique (and dizzying) look at NYC!
We were doing this back in 1999 when digital cameras and phones could barely take a legible shot!
The most inspiring video I've seen on RUclips yet! Good stuff guys, keep it up!
what's the song/beat called at 1:37?
+forever Dude idk but it's fresh af
Explorers, shows interest in the world and how it works. You guys don't take for granted you go where others don't so its your responsibility to either address any issues you find or report them. A slight dilemma when authorities don't see it your way. A lot of these so called explorers aren't running to find something but from something and a dark dismal hole often provides shelter and quiet.
Guys you are really talented storytellers, keep up the good work and just thank you for giving us the chance to discover every day a new corner of our world
I absolutely love this new channel it fulfills of the promise of showing a new perspective and showing the way different people live their lives.
Damn I wish I could meet up with some of these urban explorers next time I'd go to New York
Restriction vs Freedom of Exploration.....
nice video thanks for sharing
It's cool to see young kids doing this now. I was doing it at their age, only we didn't have thousand dollar cameras lol. Some really old places I went into are long since demolished now so see em while they're still there!
Favourite documentary by far!
Kosten is king!
That moment when I'm on FaceTime with @ Kostennn watching this 😂😂
Urbex in the US is so much different from Urbex in the UK :D
Does anybody know the songs in the video? Thanks!
Those feet shots make my hands go clammy.
Hey guys i'm 14 years old and I want to get into photography can somebody recommend me what should my first camera be for a starter or which is a cheapest camera and has good quality I already have like 127 dollars saved up. Please reply quick and Thanks :)
+Logic Boii canon t3 or t3i maybe even go for the t5 or t5i. Nikon D3200, D3300 and D5300 does are some pretty good choices to begin photography with but prices are pretty different, but affordable
+Logic Boii Go for the Sony A6000! I reckon it's better than the Canon T3i and T5i. Video capability is better on the T5i but if you're shooting photos, the A6000 is much better, and faster to boot. Nikon has a better lens selection, but the body is a lot bulkier. Ultimately, it's up to what you shoot and how you want to shoot it. Invest in a good lens, it'll save you a lot of struggle in the beginning. The kit-lenses are ok but if you shell out $100-$200 more you'll be a lot happier, trust me.
+Logic Boii To be honest, an iPhone 6s is going to be fine for most stuff. My friend @alxmclrn is an avid photographer and didn't upgrade until just recently. Having a camera does open a lot of doors, but it's good to prove yourself with simple stuff to make sure it would be worth it to upgrade. If you can't make awesome stuff with an iPhone, the equipment isn't the problem.
+Logic Boii The Sony A6000! It is a great camera to start out on, it is small, compact but still produces the same quality photos as big Canon DSLR's if not better. It is currently the camera I have now and I love it. If you are just starting out it boasts one of the fastest autofocuses on the market and has full auto capabilities. Once you learn more you can switch to manual mode and control every aspect of the camera. Also it has interchangeable lens which means if you really get into photography some day you can upgrade your lens. I don't regret buying the A6000, and if you do decided to go with the a6000 I would start out with the kit lens. 16mm-50mm. Best of luck!
omg pls dont stand on the edge of skyscrapers
such bravery much artworks

this is like the new graffiti and tagging
Such an amazing short documentary. Inspired me so much to go and do urbex and rooftopping myself and I've seen some amazing views. Now the dream is to hit NYC 🏙
Ya these kids know what's up. Beautiful shots on so many of those photos. I've always been into urban exploration (from all the way back in the 90's....elementary school actually). But I never thought to take some pictures to share with everyone else.
Great video, next time I visit NY, I'll try to take some shots like that.
I love urban exploring, only thing I explored were WW2 bunkers, fascinating stuff
I need these types of friends..
"mostly everybody who shoots photos, skates" true in my case. any urban explorers from Manchester hit me up my insta: Mo_Does_Photography
Love the video! Would be cool to have a group of adventure seeking friends like that. Sadly, I live in London. But this is really inspirational ☮
I'm going to do what people do in this video because of your disclaimer!,,,,,,,,,huh....alot of walking and climbing..... pass
Urban exploring is an exciting hobby, though it's probably the only hobby that could possibly end in jail time or probation...
im a little older than these kids. back in the day we used different web forums, email lists, etc to organize and meet to go exploring. when i lived in the city i met some of the ig ue folks and noticed things dont really change. just the platforms. hopefully locations will last though thats always been a problem with the 'sport'
This is so cool. I lived in Arlington until i was 10 ( right outside of dc ) and i grew to fall in love with DC . Now i live in the suburbs and i hate it more than anything.
Wow such amazing art make by dare devils...badass!
Damn some of these shots are amazing!
Wait ... I thought this was a urban explorer video .. guess I was mistaken. It's just a tagger segway video. Ol ye bait switchers .. so sneaky sneaky
Awesome and amazing stuff guys.. Fearless.
Can't believe how good *InstaSharks* worked compared to the other sites. And they are 100% REAL like they say
I don't specifically like anything about that building but it's just there and it's tall, like my Everest. 💙
4:21, that's James Lanning! He's a really sick rapper. Check out his song "One."
OMG! InstaSharks worked! 100% real followers, too!
Nice work Jeff, very well made :-)
wow D:
This was awesome...!!!
greetings from Mexico. (y)
Really wish there was urban photographers in Miami i haven't really stumbled open any urban photographers in miami
Stay Safe First! That Third Rail is still active! So be careful, have fun and hone your skills!
I need those instrumentals playing in the background!!!
Should print some of your images on T-shirts
What background music was used in this video ? :) I just love the idea of urban exploring, I need to form together with a group of people who want to do it with me, but its so hard to find them.
This is SO COOL, I only wish there were more interesting sites like this where I live.
This and other videos have inspired me to shoot too, things of which are on my youtube channel.
What is that symbol in the profile picture? Is it some type of alphabet? I've seen similar things like those a lot lately
It's the Seeker logo, from the K in seeker and part of a road going into the horizon, though ultimately up to your interpretation. You can see how it all plays out in the opening of all our videos!
Deep...
Seeker Stories simple yet creative, awesome logo.
we live in an indistinguishable space and time that are characterized by the speed of events. the reality of an "era" of laws of mechanics..the speed of light discrete energies,are concepts present in technologies
These guys are motivation for me to be like these guys but a London version anyone know the songs being played ????
Tobiaz Fenix Rise *InstaSharks* worked. They are really 100% real followers, too!
Cool shots but where r the failed attempts.seems all glory no repercussions
This was DOPE
:-)
Got into the photography game about a year ago now looking forward to do more urban exploring in my hometown Los Angeles
That is way cool, but just watching this video made my palms sweaty lol
Anyone know what music this is? Genre or artist? This vid features some smooth tunes.
These kinda videos just make you go outside and shot whatever!!!
I really want to do this type of stuff, if I did I'd bring some rope and a carabiner just for a little safety.
Instagram is sadly what is ruining exploring.
I love that people would risk their lives to explore and go to new places but I hate that these people aren't doing it for the experience but just for likes on a stupid app
I love this
fuck what a buzz, that makes base jumping seem dull
I go to school in Missouri and I'm in my last year there. Before I started going to school in Missouri I've been interested in urban exploring/ abandoned places but I really never found the right people to hang with and do this with. Any ideas how to get me started?
Mysticofshadowyhearts Ask around and don’t act like your a freshy.
their reasons are so true. you cant grow and explore ur potential if u have the same shot everybody has
urban exploring is just tagging without the spray paint
Mike that Crazy Dude sent me here.
I wanna meet you guys!
Hallo from Indonesia
+forever anyone ever figure this out? what it is this song?!
