Currently in Lagos, Roose is taking his gravity-defying talents to new heights. Suspended on a rope, he navigates train tracks and bridges, turning the state into his own awe-inspiring playground. The record holder partnered with Lagos Government in collaboration with the Lagos Safety Commission to capture the ‘Perfect Lagos Selfie’, from Sterling Tower, Marina Lagos, to the Onome Rig.
