I can't imagine how his family must be feeling right now. Damn.

Both he and his wife are from families with generations of high wire act performers.

I have a feeling they are used to this. Still gotta be hard on the young kids.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I'm actually very nervous.

 

[AlexMogil]

I wish this was just on TV or I could stream it on TV using a YT app.

Discovery channel I think.


But I'm sure we're going to get whooshes, jump cuts, and saw blade sounds for about two hours.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Watching this with my niece and nephew.


Should I be ready to have the talk afterwards or no?

You should probably have the talk now, prepare them.

 

[Horseress]

I'm actually very nervous.

Not more than him

 

[Haines]

A part of me can't believe he's really doing it. I mean, you might have a talent, but why risk your life to prove it?

I guess he's so sure about himself, then.

I would assume he's probably done this a million times with the same circumstances already.

I would imagine the odds in his head is higher chances of getting hit by a a car or something

But everyone buys into the hype bc oooh a wire walk

I'm streaming on Xbox One via the YouTube app. I couldn't find the right link, so I used the link in the first post to watch on my iPad, but I noticed a little icon in the corner on the iPad and when pressed it opened up YouTube on the Xbox One and now it's streaming there. Shits magic, I don't even have smartglass downloaded. Had no idea this was a feature.

 

[RyudBoy]

What if this is the ultimate troll and he backs out?

 

[Downhome]

You should look into getting a Chromecast.

I have one, and it's what I would normally use, but something is going on. It is disconnecting me after about a minute here lately. I need to figure out what is going on with it.

Discovery Channel

Awesome, I didn't think it was on TV since it wasn't mentioned in the OP. Thanks!

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

for his families sake i hope he dose

 

[SuperSah]

A few minutes left...

 

[Agnostic]

This is the Jesus guy that walked the Grand Canyon a few years back and we had a thread going for that one too. IIRC, they had a bunch of camera angles you could have chosen to watch from and I remember people on GAF having nice little panic attacks as he walked the rope with a helmet cam.



edit: and my anxiety just rose with that live pic. lol

 

[SuperSah]

Aand we are live..

 

[RevDM]

ITS ON

 

[LOLDSFAN]

YouTube is live.

 

[AlexMogil]

Huh... it's only a blindfolded portion? Welllllllll.

 

[SugarDave]

I have a bad feeling about this...

Well, everyone's different. If he believes he can do it, then we will see if it's true.

I hope he knows the risks of this stunt.

Both he and his wife are from families with generations of high wire act performers.

I have a feeling they are used to this. Still gotta be hard on the young kids.

I hope they're ready for any possible outcome...

You obviously didn't watch his Grand Canyon walk. Crazier than this one. I was getting dizzy with some of the camera angles...

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

saw blade sounds

Seriously. When did this become a thing? It started with Top Chef and now every show does it.

 

[Floridian]

 

[Maintenance]

Just imagine if he falls into one of those apartments.

"Honey, someone just fell onto our balcony."

 

[rekameohs]

What if he sneezes

 

[Blair]

If he falls he will land softly on his HUGE pair of BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!


He shouldn't be allowed to do this with such a MASSIVE set of NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


nah hope he doesn't fall though

 

[SuperSah]

The height is making me feel sick.

I couldn't do it.

 

[reKon]

not going to watch this when it goes down, but why are people cheering?

 

[RevDM]

sexy fedora

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Because HYPE!

 

[RyudBoy]

Well, yeah. First time hearing of this dude.

 

[Pastry]

Why is there still traffic beneath this dude? What if he falls and hurts someone else.

 

[Icyflamez96]

This is CRAY

 

[Marvel]

Nice hat.

 

[Drencrom]

Sounds pretty windy

 

[iNvid02]

that view makes me wish i was spider man

 

[Courage]

Seriously though, what's the precaution if he falls on someone or a car or something?

 

[Komo]

I wish I could watch the YouTube stream, but it's 'not available in my country' |:

 

[Feltrol]

I hope he makes it.

Man, I'm afraid of heights. I would be dying already If I were to be there in the open...

 

[Maintenance]

Holy shit, look at the wind blowing the old guy's ID card.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

He tipped his fedora...

 

[SuperSah]

Why is everyone cheering? He has't begun.

 

[RevDM]

This whole thing is going to take an hour right? Like some introductory stuff, then explanation of shit, then finally in the last 10 minutes of the hour spot he'll do it...

 

[AlexMogil]

Right after these messages

 

[SugarDave]

The cheering and crowds would put me off big time.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

My Fear of heights is making this uncomfortable.

I mean... they know where he's going.. I imagine they just... cleared below?

 

[Agnostic]

I know they shut down some surrounding businesses for this walk.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Streets are closed. Those shots of cars driving are old.

 

[NickatNite]

Blindfolded? damn

 

[Mecha]

He said some funny things last time, so I might as well watch.

Tight rope walk for Jesus!

Prepare for an hour of "Praise, Jesus" "Thank you lord"

Crazy jesus, thank you lord for this opportunity.
