Nik walked on the tightrope in windy conditions and with no safety equipment. The rope was 630 feet off the ground, across the Chicago River. He crossed this tightrope in a little over 7 minutes. Then, he had another tightrope planned for 500 feet off the ground from the same two buildings BUT, blindfolded. November 2nd, Nik Wallenda made two world records; highest tightrope between two buildings blindfolded and a record for the steepest walk between two buildings.
I know I would've been very very scared to go on that tightrope in front of all those people but if you think about it, he has so much training, he should be ready for it. Still super scary.
"You guys watching think I'm crazy, but this is what I was made for" Nik Wallenda said as he stepped onto the wire.
