The Wallenda Skywire Walk tonight.

[GowerND11]

I was waiting for a Buddy Jesus meme.

His footwear has elkskin bottoms to dissipate the 100 to 110 degree heat in the wire.

They tested the wire temp during the first hour and it was less than air temp due to the wind.

 

[BobD]

You think he'll "Tebow" on the wire?

 

[IrishinTN]

I am pretty sure there is also somewhere in the Bible that says don't test God's might or will or something to that effect

"Do not test the Lord thy God." - Deuteronomy 6:16

"It is said 'Do not test the Lord thy God.'" - Luke 4:12

He proposed to his wife at midwire on one knee but he was only 30 feet high at the time.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

nice shoes

 

[gkIrish]

That was absurd. Caught the end. My heart was racing

 

[RuntheBall]

Is he close? I have to wake up at 5 damn it.

 

[TerryTate]

Made it

 

[BobD]

Well that was interesting

 

[magogian]

Thank God. I had to stop watching.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Holy Sh*t that was unreal. I woudve crapped myself and slipped on it and fallen to my death.

 

[chicago51]

Bible also says faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain.

That was amazing. Watched the whole thing. I think I was more nervous than he was.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Were two of his kids name Amadeus and Yanni?

 

[notredomer23]

Glad he didn't die.

Honestly, I would more likely die of a heart attack than falling if I was in his position

 

[IrishinTN]

I have to admit I was entertained.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

What you dont know is it was recorded on Hollywoods greatest studio since we landed on the moon...

 

[BobD]

They should leave that wire for a zip line ride. I'd pay to do it.

 

[IrishinTN]

Actually this next show is far more disturbing and I am more afraid to watch it. This Named and Afraid show.

 

[BGIF]

They should leave that wire for a zip line ride. I'd pay to do it.

And you'd be doing a Terminal Tebow when you can to rest at the center of that catenary.

That's what I'm sayin'

 

[BobD]

maybe he thought he wasn't going to make it across

Discovery is desperate for another hit survival show as they have not been able to find one since Bear Grills (who has a new show on NBC starting soon) and them had a falling out.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I hate heights, and damn now I am going to have a dream about walking the rope and falling...trying to clinch my *** cheeks to hold on for dear life.

 

[BobD]

And you'd be doing a Terminal Tebow when you can to rest at the center of that catenary.

Haha! Yeah they'd have to do some modifications.

 

[FearTheBeard]

"Do not test the Lord thy God." - Deuteronomy 6:16

"It is said 'Do not test the Lord thy God.'" - Luke 4:12

I dont mean to offend anyone or sound like an *** but I thought the whole "Thank you Jesus, please calm this rope Jesus" was a little ridiculous. I have no problem with people expressing their faith in public, but can i just go out and run through busy traffic and say thank you Jesus the whole time and be safe? I mean i can understand him praying and everything because his life is on the line but that just seems like hes testing God to me. This dude is crazy and i could never do something like that so i give him credit thats one of the craziest things ive ever seen.

 

[GreenSox04]

I would of rather have heard him swear like a sailor like the rest of the world would be doin..

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Sorry if this has already been discussed however what or who pays this dude...and what did he get paid for the insane challenge?

 

[BobD]

I was thinking he over did the Jesus thing for a minute, then I thought "what would I be saying?", and it included Jesus." Oh Jesus why am I this stupid", "oh Jesus please get me off this wire", "if I live I will change my life Jesus" etc.

 

[koonja]

I'd imagine Discovery gave him something, but he's going to get most of his offers now that it's over.

I mean, it's not like Adidas would want to sponsor him if he wore their shirt, then he dies? That's ****** marketing. Now he'll be on Good Morning America, get an energy drink deal, etc.
