Nik Wallenda has completed two death-defying high- wire walks between skyscrapers at an intense incline, and then with a blindfold on a cable suspended more than 500ft over the Chicago River. Footage of the astonishing feat ran on a 10-second delay on the Discovery Channel so producers could cut away if he fell to his death. He had neither a net nor a harness as he completed the challenge - and had said his only back-up plan was to attempt to kneel and cling to the wire with his feet. He finished the first portion of the stunt in six minutes, 52 seconds, and made the second, blindfolded walk in just one minute, 17 seconds. The first wire was suspended more than 500ft above the Chicago River at a 19-degree incline. The wire was supposed to be suspended at 15 degrees, but a last minute change made for an even steeper challenge. Can you attempt this for a price?

yungEX:That's not even a talent, it called "taking risk" Nigerians dosent have to do all that to be noticed. If that same guy mistakenly fell off, you'll be the 1st to cast him. |

Watched the video today, so much practice for him to achieve this feat. This guy has literally killed fear, also to note is that the mom did a similar stunt while she was 6 months pregnant of him. Note: Never try this at home. |

coolebux:For a seventh generation member of the "flying Wallendas" and a holder of nine Guinness World Records, I don't see him falling off. I agree with you though. It's a high probability risk. I don't think someone in his right mind should even practice to have this kinda "talent". |

Was an eyewitness to that. What an incredible feat walking blindfolded from Marina tower 1 to Marina tower 2. The second leg is from marina tower 2 to the building across the street on Wacker Drive. Witnessed by more than 70.000 chicagoans on a cold windy evening. Nick Wallander is surely a gutsy guy. Wont do that for a million bucks. Especially with no earnest or safety net. |
