Wallenda Attempts Walk Across Niagara Falls on tightrope. Friday 6/15/2012

25 minutes on the wire so far. He's almost there.

Haha, he did this cute little dance-run at the end. Wow. That was crazy.

 

[Steely Dan]

He ran the last few feet and has made it!! :clap: :clap: :woohoo:

 

[girlinblue]

I am totally obsessed with his boots. What are they made of?

Also, while I'm glad he seems to be making a fine run of it, I wonder if he will come back later and ask to do it again without a safety harness?

I think they said they were handmade by his mother. Didn't hear the material though. Maybe SteelyDan did?

ANNNNNNNND he broke the border. CANADIAN SIDE!

So *we* have to rescue this dumb*** if he falls? *aughh*

 

[Steely Dan]

OMG he just fell off the high tower!!










Just kidding. :giggle:

 

[Gardenlady]

Wow! Have to admit I'm kind of surprised he made it Thanks for the details all!

No I didn't.

 

[girlinblue]

LOL @ customs being there, asking him for his passport. Super cute.

 

[Steely Dan]

That was impressive. Stupid, but impressive.

I'm watching live and still almosst bought it! LOL

 

[girlinblue]

I wonder what he does now? Go get drunk? LOL

 

[Steely Dan]

Maybe the Grand Canyon. :waitasec: I'm just guessing on that.

"Wallenda will wear custom boots for the historic attempt, made by his mother. Part moccasin and part ballet shoe, the bottoms are suede leather which Nik says actually grip better when wet, which is good since he’ll likely be surrounded by the Falls famous mist."

Were I a Canadian barkeep, I would give him free can beers if he would open them with his toes.

 

[LadyL]

well, that was interesting I guess - not as suspenseful as I thought (probably b/c I knew the harness would save him)

my husband said they should've lowered a customs agent via helicopter at the actual middle point to ask for his passport

 

[Steely Dan]

Grand Canyon is next!! HA! I called it!!

 

[girlinblue]

Grand Canyon is next!! HA! I called it!!

I walked away from the TV for a minute. Is that what he said?! I've never been and the only thing I know about it is from that episode of the Brady Bunch.

Steely, direct your telepathic energies to the stock market and we will all benefit! lease:
