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.
Hurry up and walk!
I don't think the paramedic at the bottom is necessary.

Watching cam 4 is interesting!
I'll just go ahead and sprint the last 20. [clap]
Look like there was a ton of cross wind.
Acceptable substitute for paintball.

I think it was 40 mph.
I wonder if he's Christian?
I was leaning towards Taoist.
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.
