mister slippery Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 This is really kinda cool. He's between 1/3 and 1/2 across Niagara Falls on ABC, and it's pretty tense.Anyone watching/interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm actually in Niagara Falls. We just got back from watching it live.We got there about fifteen minutes before he started and easily jockeyed through the huge family-oriented crowd to a spot where we could see him cross start-to-finish.It was slowly exhilerating, like watching Evel Knievel jump the Snake River Canyon. For twenty-five minutes.It really was exciting, I'm very glad we happened to be in town for it.Ringo Starr was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I absolutely loved watching him cross. For the feat in and of itself, but honestly i had never seen footage of the falls like that. Seeing him cross, especially at particular angles just gave me a whole new appreciation for the scale and beauty of the falls and its sheer voluminous power. Very cool! The amount of water running over the wire in the "wet zone" was just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
