Anyone watching?


I like seeing all the engineering that goes into walking across the Grand Canyon. Think about balancing on wire the diameter of a 12oz soda can higher than the Empire State Building...

Iʻm watching.

Very media oriented. Tons of pre-game hype.

I agree, a lot of details that can not be over looked.

I watched the Discovery special last night about Nik and his past feats.

Wow...what a feat! A dusty cable, high winds causing cable bounce and tired arms. I was standing in front of the TV with sweating bare-feet while standing on carpet! He's now off for a nice prime-rib dinner. Congrats to Nik!

I didn't catch it...a pretty impressive feat. I believe there was a 10 second delay in case something happened.
