Jaw-dropping pictures taken from the very edge of Hong Kong's towers
Thrillseekers Vitaliy Raskalov, 21, and Vadim Makhorov, 24, have taken photographs and videos atop some of the most famous landmarks on the planet, including the Eiffel Tower and the pyramids of Giza.
The Eiffel Tower, the pyramids of Giza and now Hong Kong's high-rises. Daredevils Vitaliy Raskalov, 21, and Vadim Makhorov, 24, spent two weeks earlier this year cavorting on the city’s skyscrapers. They will return next month to try their luck on the Bank of China Building and Two IFC, the city’s second-tallest building.

So far the pair have not heard anything from the city's authorities. However, they say that mainland authorities contacted both Russia and Ukraine with a request to ban the men from visiting China for 20 years.
"Vadim may have some trouble, but Ukraine has too many problems of its own to deal with now, so it should be fine for me," said Raskalov, referring to the deadly clashes between protesters and police in Kiev.
He said they were now looking for sponsors in Hong Kong to stage the first Asia exhibition of photographs and videos from four years of their daredevilry.
