Ruffer is who? What is Rufing?

More and more you can hear stories about people who conquer the roofs in search of an incomparable species, opening from a height. If you turn to the translation of this term from the English language, you can say that the rofer is a "roof". This hobby, mostly young people, has not yet been transformed into an independent subculture. In Russia, they are called roofers or roof lenses.

Strict rules

This extreme pleasure is associated with a number of sound informal principles. In one of Peter's interview Peter's articulated several rules, in particular:

• You can not make noise and attract attention;
• It is necessary to observe the culture, namely not to damage the roof, because they can be part of a historical landmark;
• Should be present generally accepted moral principles, that is, for example, do not storm sacred objects;
• It is possible to climb onto public buildings only at night;
• You can not engage in roaming if there is a fear of heights, since this is fraught with consequences.

The origin of this extreme occupation

Rufing was transferred from the West. The first to taste the spirit of romance is the roof of Peter. It was here that for the first time the youth began to conquer skyscrapers, someone because of the thrill, and someone under the influence of love dope. A memorable photo was in common. Ruferov mostly curiosity about how the city landscape looks from a height.

The philosophical aspect is the desire to feel the moment when the city is at the feet, when the inhabitants of the metropolis can be seen in miniature, and around only the boundless sky.

Many roofs of high-rise buildings offer a view of St. Petersburg attractions such as the Admiralty, St. Isaac's and Kazan's cathedrals, the Alexandrian Pillar and much more.

What marked the Independence Day of Ukraine for Moscow

Mustang Wanted, who, in combination, the Kiev pyramid named Grigory, said that he stormed the roof of Moscow State University. This was done in honor of Independence Day of Ukraine, namely on August 24.

Almost at midnight, he posted a photo on his page in the social network Facebook, taken from the spire star of the skyscraper, located in the Vorobyovy Gory area. It is worth recalling that earlier this tree painted a star, located on the roof of a multi-storey building in Moscow, in particular on the Kotelnicheskaya embankment, and secured the flag of Ukraine on it .

He justified this act by the desire to justify the arrest of four Russian citizens who were arrested earlier for the desecration of the above building. Also, the rumor announced readiness to be punished in accordance with Russian legislation, provided that Nadezhda Savchenko, a Ukrainian pilot, who is under arrest in Voronezh, was released. She was accused of involvement in the facts of the murder of Russian journalists in Lugansk.

Dead fenders

According to official information published in the press, June 6, 2012, there was a tragedy in the center of the capital, related to the death of the extreme photographer. In the middle of the day the ruffle fell from the roof of a high-rise building, which is Glavpochtamtom on Myasnitskaya Street.

It became known that the young extremal climbed there from the roof of a nearby apartment building. The death came as a result of a fall from a great height. The reason was the cracked glass of the dome, on which he stepped.

What distinguished the Russian Boards in Shanghai

Members of the team called Ontheroofs carried out another breathtaking climb. They stormed the top of the unfinished very high Shanghai Tower.

After that trip, the guys posted a video on the Internet with a detailed description of how to climb to 650-meter height and not get caught. Vitaly Raskalov and Vadim Mahorov - the ruffians on the Shanghai high-rise - first illegally made their way to the territory of the above object, and then climbed to the uppermost part of the tower. There they made colorful photographs of how the city in miniature stretches at their feet. This act is the best way to explain who are these guys. Shanghai became the next city that was conquered by Ukrainian-Russian extreme photographers.

Ruffer is an extreme of pure water

To date, the Chinese giant, conquered by Russian rooftops, is recognized as the second tallest object in the world, of course, after the Burj Khalifa tower erected in Dubai.

The guys knew what was waiting for them under Chinese laws, so they thoroughly thought out their actions before climbing. The date of the storming of the skyscraper was chosen from the calculation of the moment when there will not be a single soul at the construction site. By all criteria, the Chinese New Year was approaching. On this holiday, construction equipment was in non-working condition, and the vigilance of protection was clouded by New Year's mood.

Rufurs penetrated the construction site late at night. Then for two hours they climbed to the 120th floor. Somewhere around midnight, the roof tops reached the site adjacent to the tower crane. Then it took about 18 hours to wait for clearing the weather, after which they climbed without special safety equipment at the peak of the high-rise. And there the next dream came true, to which the rulers aspired. China became the final destination in the journey of these guys. They once again presented unique photos to everyone, fascinating with their trembling.

Where else have these Russian spearheads been visited

Ontheroofs team has conquered more than one landmark of the world. The Russian-Ukrainian duo stormed the roofs of such structures as:

• High-rise on Kotelnicheskaya embankment, located in Moscow.
• The Eiffel Tower and the Notre-Dame Cathedral, which are erected within the walls of Paris.
• Temple of the Holy Family, built in Spanish Barcelona.
• Cologne Cathedral, located in Germany.
• The pyramids of Cheops, built in Egypt.

Their portfolio contains inspirational photographs from the roofs of a number of cities around the world, namely: Warsaw, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Benidorm, Prague, Madrid, Porto, Amsterdam and Lisbon. Recently, they have taken a great interest in Asia.

Extreme rufer is a risky enough person. In accordance with this, each of them knows those moments with regard to security that can save their lives, in particular:

• The group is formed by a maximum of four people;
• You can not drink alcohol;
• At an altitude, keep distance with other roufers;
• Rely solely on one's own abilities;
• Do not climb the structure during bad weather conditions.

Talent has no age limits

The guys are just over 20 years old, but this does not prevent them from possessing strong restraint and steel nerves, which can only be envied.

Their photos are very popular on the Internet. And also the guys constantly take part in a variety of exhibitions. The talent of young extreme photographers has already been appreciated by a lot of people, but they are not conceited and continue to eat everything that accompanies this occupation, because the roufer is not only adrenaline therapy, but also the state of mind. They basically do not advertise the moment of storming the pre-selected building. And therefore, after achieving this goal, they meet with the guardians of order exclusively by their own forces.

Species division of roufing

This hobby can be classified, in particular:

• Extreme Ruffing. It is expressed by ascending to the roofs by means of fire ladders, ledges, drain pipes, etc. Its purpose is the conquest of non-standard or closed roofs of high-rise buildings. This brings this species closer to the category of infiltration.
• Quiet roofing. Roofs are conquered to satisfy aesthetic craving - admiring the urban landscape from high altitudes. Most often accompanied by photography, drawing, etc.
• Art-rufing. His goal is to hold creative events. This can be both poetry, concerts, creation of objects in the style of street art and more.

In general, roaming is considered as a specific type of tourism. It is adapted, as a rule, to large cities. Summarizing all of the above interpretations of this concept, we can say that the people who are interested in the contemplation of species accessible from urban roofs of high-rise buildings are the ruffers.

In Russia, a number of cities are allocated, headed by St. Petersburg in view of the specifics of its planned development, as well as regulations concerning the height of buildings. This is a great advantage, as it allows you to cover a larger space.

The term "infiltration" is closely related to the concept of "roufing". This is interpreted as an unauthorized entry into the territory of an object that is under protection. These can be active industrial zones and even structures that are strictly forbidden to stay in them people.

This type of industrial tourism is extreme color, and thus requires thorough preparation, good equipment and a propensity for adventurism, in view of the fact that it is associated with serious dangers. In general, the activity in question accompanies the violation of laws, which, of course, spurs the interest of adventurers, and the prohibitive signs become a call to action. The goal of all this is getting adrenaline and inner satisfaction from penetrating into forbidden buildings.
