It might be more interesting with a sniper rifle...

Fricken 2+ hours of nonsense, build up... no thanks.

 

[/6 Matt]

I get the feeling that he isn't going to make it.

 

[OldmanRick]

LOL, Rob

Matt, I don't understand the no teather thing? It would still be cool! I guess big drama sells. I just hope he's not committing suicide.....His family history is pretty cool, i've watched them for a lot of years.

LOL, I watched when he crossed Niagara Falls last year, but he was tethered(against his wish) pretty cool though. I dont think he will make it this time.... street pizza, but Im watching

I hear ya. DRAMA

I don't understand the point in the paramedic below. If he falls he will die. No paramedic can cure death.

I don't understand the lack of teather either Rick. Does his personal safety or lack thereof make it more exciting? Not really.

If I put #skywire in my FABO posts, will discovery channel air it?:laughing:

[Drache]

[OldmanRick]

Faster pace then I thought, but still a long way to go...

 

[Hemiroid]

unbelievable!

 

[Drache]

man if he falls the live camera on his chest is going to be one terrible view....

 

[/6 Matt]

Just watching is making me dizzy! I can't believe he has made it this far!
