Reference excerpt

Ontheroofs is an urban exploration and rooftopping photography project conceived by Vitaliy Raskalov (Ukrainian: Віталій Раскалов) and Vadim Makhorov (Russian: Вадим Махоров; real name - Vadim Yurievich Gurnov), from Ukraine and from Russia respectively. Their main focus of photography is the exploration of high-rise architectural structures like skyscrapers, bridges, historic sites and cathedrals. The team have been notable for their number of free-climbs up famous buildings and monuments around the world. Typically, their videos are uploaded onto YouTube and showcase their ascent and descent. Raskalov and Makhorov appeared as recurring cast in the documentary series URBEX – Enter At Your Own Risk, which launched globally on Red Bull TV on August 1, 2016.

Members The project was conceived by Vitaliy Raskalov. Raskalov grew up in Kyiv, but at the age of 12, he moved to Moscow, where he would later study journalism, but drop out in 2009 to become a photographer. He met Makhorov, who is from Novosibirsk, while climbing a bridge. In 2017, Raskalov and Makhorov expanded the team to include the New-York based rooftopper Emit, known as em.1t across social media platforms.

Climbs

In 2012, the duo climbed the Mercury City Tower in Moscow. Raskalov and Makhorov received press attention in early 2014 when they climbed up the Shanghai Tower, the second tallest building in the world. They entered the construction site of the unfinished tower during the Lunar New Year. The popularity of the video sparked a discussion on the safety and the liability of the incident. Later in 2014, they hijacked an LED billboard on the roof of a Hong Kong building, advertising their Shanghai climb on the billboard. Next, they climbed the 110-story Ping An Finance Centre in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. In April 2016, a video was posted of them climbing the Lotte World Tower in Seoul. Despite the construction site having guard dogs, security officers and monitoring drones, Raskalov and Makhorov managed to bypass the security and climb the under construction building. In 2017, Raskalov and Emit climbed the Central Park Tower. Other structures climbed by Raskalov are the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramid of Giza and the statue of Christ the Redeemer. In 2019, they travelled to the Baikonur Cosmodrone in Southern Kazakhstan and uploaded the video of it to their YouTube channel.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov

In research: Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Russian photographers, Photography by genre, Urban exploration, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
