Posted by Thinklikefreak Nice work! I like how you opened your Pringles. |
Posted by Rinzler Funny the difference between exploring generations. A guy went years and years ago, probably like 15 years, and hardly anybody knew. Now, this is posted for the entire world to see with the name and everything. |
Posted by randomesquephoto Blackhawk is gone. . But, I still won't watch your trash videos. |
Posted by Deuterium Pretty sure you're not first or even close to first, but perhaps the first to publicly blow it up like this. Your umbex mentality shows. |

Posted by Max Power @strangeplaces You can't publicly blow-up this location, its already blown up. |
Posted by Thinklikefreak Truth is everybody on here does it for the views. All these older generation explorers hating on the younger generations for sharing pictures on Instagram and videos on Youtube are hypocrites. Urban exploring is a sport. The game is who can take pictures of the most insane places and get the most insane photos. Then you post them online and create a explorer identity and try to rack up as many likes followers as you can. |

Posted by Deuterium Blowing up also means going out of the way to increase exposure for your social media benefits. You already said you don't plan on going back there and I'm getting the impression that you're not concerned at all about accelerating the decay and spoiling the ability of others to be able to explore later sooner than necessary. |
Posted by Max Power @strangeplaces 2. You can't publicly blow-up this location, its already blown up. Millions of people see the island every year, its literally in the middle of Disney World, and the posts by the first guy to explore the island went viral back in the day. And Bright Sun films and Sanswa have a combined 2 million views about the island. |
Posted by Thinklikefreak I get the feeling many people on here are haters. I don't hate them back but definitely likely not the kind of people I'd enjoy hanging out with. The maxpowerssucks movement is a bunch of child like bologny. You are an active urban explorer and you create content and share it with others. Also I think creating videos takes more skill than taking still photos. Truth is everybody on here does it for the views. All these older generation explorers hating on the younger generations for sharing pictures on Instagram and videos on Youtube are hypocrites. Urban exploring is a sport. The game is who can take pictures of the most insane places and get the most insane photos. Then you post them online and create a explorer identity and try to rack up as many likes followers as you can. Then when you have a thousand plus real followers and other big shots are talking to you then your like a professional urban explorer. Really a bunch of BS. Nearly everyone does it though. I sort of am by being a member on this forum. I just don't quite see what it is about you that everybody hates. Like sure your videos are a little cheesy but that's probably intentional. No offense. But nonetheless despite me thinking that some are pretty cheesy I like them more than I dislike them. Whoops diverting somebody else's thread to a personal rant. I am quite frankly am feeling more and more burned out of this game/activity. Like exploring is fun. But like the whole image sharing thing stresses me out more than I get satisfaction and benefit positively from doing so. But then the thought strikes me... Well if I am not going to take pictures to share them then why the fudge go urban exploring to take pictures all together? Been at this conflict for a while now. I don't really find going to locations without a camera enjoyable. Those that create youtube channels though and rack up thousands of followers I think are in it for ideally some income eventually and that I think is respectable. But going on nearly ten years only doing it for likes online is just becoming dull and meaningless. Anybody else sort of feeling the same vibe/feeling as me? Maybe within the next six months I will be 100% offline on all social media /forum platforms How many active urban explorers would you guys guess are not on any online applications? Haha maybe besides google maps? Keep going to strange places and making videos... ONLY IF it actually makes you HAPPY. |
Posted by Speed I also believe the motivation is completely different. Your generation explores for completely different reasons than mine did. Urban exploring jumped the shark years ago... Full disclosure...I no longer explore and haven’t in quite sometime. I was extremely active at one time as people in this very thread can vouch to. |
