Johnny Mohawk is widely considered as one of the most skilled and ambitious in the field. Millions of his fans tune in every week on YouTube to watch his videos and marvel at his death-defying exploits. Many now call him the Urban Ninja.

​

Office workers in those unsuspecting office buildings looking over Beijing had no idea of the dangerous feat that would happen later that day outside their very windows. Johnny Mohawk, travelled to the site of the Jump, having never before performed such a stunt, followed by his team of photographers expecting the best from the young man.

 

Johnny Mohawk had high pressure on him, as those buildings towered up to an 80m drop making the jump fatal if a single mistake was made, as evident when looking at the sheer presence of the gap between the buildings. It is hard to imagine that this wouldn’t terrify Mohawk.

 

Johnny stated in an interview with Ten Pin productions, ‘I was hesitant to publicise the Jump as I wanted it to be personal, although I wanted people to know not to let fear control their lives and I thought many would see this as motivation to get out there and do what you love, no matter the scale’.
