"Urban Exploration" is a term used by many to describe trespassing, primarily in abandoned places, and over the last 20 years it has developed into its own counterculture and art genre. Today we'll talk about Jeff Chapman, also known as Ninjalicious. A Canadian who found his love for going into restricted areas during his struggle with a terminal illness, Ninjalicious would spend the remaining years of his life sharing his passion for trespassing and building the bedrock of the urban exploration movement. My guest in the episode is Ninjalicious' friend Avatar X, a legend among urban explorers in his own right who created the website UER.ca, the origin point for the community that Ninjalicious advocated for. Together we discuss why Ninjalicious matters so much if you want to really get where the urban exploration started.
