From the leaders in the burgeoning urban adventure scene, Jinx magazine, comes this extreme tour of New York City's unseen places - from its sewers and subway tunnels to the pinnacles of its bridges. From abandoned hospitals to epic graffiti murals to the roof of Grand Central Station and the enormous towers of the George Washington Bridge, Invisible Frontier offers a series of gripping true adventure stories and a fascinating trip through the seldom-chronicled aspects of a great city's history, technology and culture.

Thoughts I had while reading:
-omg you pretentious jackholes
-These guys are people who think Holden Caulfield is someone to admire
-Yeah, dilettantes at best
-overeducated suburban cowards
-chickenshit morons (not including the bridge-climbing, but totally including all the tunnel walking)
-lily-livered, gutless, immature pseudo-academics. I have done scarier shit than this with far less freaking out.
I was so disgusted that I kept putting it down and wandering off to read something more awesome, and yet I kept coming back because I wanted to read about real people exploring the hidden places of NY. I just didn't want to read about these idiots doing it and comparing themselves to truly badass, courageous explorers from the 14th-17th centuries. Give me an account of people actually walking the Croton Aqueduct, not wimping out because it was dark and wet in there.
Also, this book srsly needed a map. ( )
