I kind of feel like once I've seen the guy walk a wire at a good height, its all pretty much the same after that regardless of distance or height.

Now, if there was someone shooting at him with a paint ball gun from a helo at the same time that may get my attention.

I don't think the paramedic at the bottom is necessary.

Look like there was a ton of cross wind.

Acceptable substitute for paintball.

If he walked across nakid, then he would be a Jain.

i heard  a rumor that David Blaine was there too. He stood motionless on the canyon floor, under the wire for two weeks straight.

Personally, I was unsure if it was a high wire act or a church revival. He kissed more butt crossing that wire than Moses parting the seas.   ;D

If there was ever a time to kiss butt, that was it.

When he was done with the walk, my wife said, "So what was the point of that?"

Exactly.

They grew up in the Circus, the need to push the envelope comes from their Grandfather.
