Nik Wallenda To Attempt To Tightrope Across Canyon Tonight 7PM CST On Discovery
 
Wallenda walked across Niagara Falls last year and tonight will attempt to walk across the Little Colorado Gorge in Arizona live on the Discovery channel at 7pm CST.

Countdown to the walk comes on at 5pm CST.

1500 ft high, taller than the Empire State Bldg. this time untethered, no safety net.

He wanted to walk across The Grand Canyon but he was not allowed to just like they refused Evel Knievel in the 70's.

Watch this video, guy is truly nuts or has balls of steel or both.

After the first fifty feet or so, does it really matter?

It builds more suspense the longer the fall.

Admit it, we will all tune in secretly hoping he falls to his death.

Grandfather, wasn't it?

That's kinda what Wallendas do. It's a family of acrobats and daredevils.

I'll probably make it, but if he doesn't he'll pretty much just be fulfilling a family legacy.
