I hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies.
From Nik Wallenda
I've trained all my life not to be distracted by distractions.
I feel like I'm on cloud nine right now.
We train very hard under windy conditions. I've actually walked a wire in my backyard with 90-mile-an-hour winds.
If you take suede leather and put it on a piece of steel, and put moisture on it, it actually sticks.
A lot of praying helped me a lot.
The mist was so challenging and the winds hit me, definitely more than I expected. It was definitely those winds, you can't re-enact them, you can't recreate them. Then my forearms started to tense up and you feel like running.
I have permits to be the first person in the world to walk across the Grand Canyon so that's a process we'll start working on. I'd say within three to five years I'll accomplish that as well.
There was no way to focus on the movement of the cable. If I looked down at the cable there was water moving everywhere. And if I looked up there was heavy mist blowing in front of my face. So it was a very unique, a weird sensation.
I am so blessed. How blessed I am to have the life that I have.
