I just watched Nick Wallenda walk across the Grand Canyon 1,5oo ft. in height without a tether. That was , indeed............AWESOME!

I watched it too, mighty impressive...........But after he made it he should have walked back to the other side, backwards, naked..........That would have been really impressive.

Though impressive, it wasn't the actual Grand Canyon. It was the Little Colorado River Gorge. It is run by the Navajo's.

i STRONGLY object to his constant prayer and the use of the word "JESUS"! Totally teaches my children the wrong way to go about things, believing in a higher being, disgraceful! The ACLU will file suit later today to ban this sort of language from tv.
just kidding folks, but you know it'll be said, and if i was 1500 ft. above certain death i would be prayin' alot too. But also notice they put his smokin' hot wife on the other side to give him a reason to live. My only real problem with it was not passing out since i held my breath for the 23 minutes it took. Lucky it wasn't the "real" grand canyon and only a "short" 1/4 mile stroll 1500 feet up. Whatever he does next i'm not sure i can watch it...now let's go racin'...bob |

I was at the race track so I didn't get to see it, but if you think the walk was impressive, how about the dude that strung the wire for him to walk across.
