Skywire Live with Nik Wallenda (2013)

[Edisto_Tiger]

Anyone watching this? Dude (Nick Wallenda) is about to walk the wire between the same two hotels in PR where his great grandfather fell to his death. 24 minutes and counting.

Next up: he is suppose to walk the wire over some gorge at the Grand Canyon.

9:30 minutes to go.

Yea, watching it now. Family is flipping nuts. Mom and son going opposite ways and passing over each other to get on the other side? WITHOUT A NET OR LANYARD!? no thanks.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

I hear ya. No chance here.


Here we go. The live walk over the gorge!!!

 

[Kid Vicarious]

I love how they have a paramedic at the bottom. Did they give him a shovel and trash bag?

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Jim Cantorre is there? Screw it! That's a curse in itself.

I just lol'ed. They said there was a paramedic on hand.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

lol. yup. ^^^^^^^

What ya think the odds of him making it? 90%?

yea. I'd probably give him 95%, but then I'm a jinx. Has GS got any bets going on this?

Man, this shit will take another hour before he walks it! And how much of a delay do you guise think there is on this. My bet is 30 minutes or more, so if he does (or did) fall, they could cut coverage and do something else. I bet he's already walked it

I say about a minute or two. Enough time to cut before things start getting ugly. You have to have a delay on this stuff. I'm surprised they keep showing his grandfather falling to his death. I've seen it 3 times already...

I just hope Shaneman didn't bet on him making it. I'm going to stop watching it now if he did.
