Nick Wallenda Completes First Tightrope Walk Across Grand Canyon in One Piece!

By Nicholas Stix

He ran the last few yards to pay dirt, and immediately got down on the ground, push-up style, and kissed the earth. Almost the entire way across, Wallenda was praying and praising Jesus, while wearing a blue, Discovery Channel t-shirt, until he got close, at which point he began praising Discovery Channel.

The walk involved at least five cameras: One attached to Wallenda’s shirt, one on a parallel cable, two at the ends, and one from a helicopter.

Nick Wallenda hails from the legendary Wallenda family of tightrope walkers, who are no strangers to deadly falls, but he will live to “walk” again.

It is my contention the Wallendas continue to do this until they really "kiss the earth."
