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. http://skywire.discovery.com/360.htm..._utmk=49727590 http://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewbe...-grand-canyon/ Last edited by houstonwhodat; 06-23-2013 at 03:35 PM.. |

This can't be real. Surely he has a net somewhere below?

what if the guys on either end keeping the wire taught just started jumping up and down to bounce the wire...that would be funny...
Not taking anything away from the guy, but having that big pole with it wrapped around his neck is a huge set of training wheels compared to how his grandfather used to do it... |
