'There is a group of very dedicated individuals who will not rest until they are able to stand on every roof in the city and call it theirs, even if it's just for a minute or two.' Describing his passion for 'Rooftopping' Mr Ryaboi, whose skyline shots of Toronto are putting 'Rooftopping' on the map, said: 'To this day my father often likes to tell the story of when he came home for work one day, my mother was already at home, and I was sitting on top of the fridge looking down on both of them. 'I was almost two years old then and they are still trying to figure out how I got up there. Here I am, 25 years later, still trying to sit on top of the tallest things I see. 'It is quite addictive, standing on top of the world, but there is something more. There is really only one way to find out what that is... I urge you to get on a roof and discover it for yourself.'
