Zitat des Tages von Nik Wallenda:
What I'm doing is a natural wonder. If not, there'd be 150 people behind me on the wire.
I started walking a wire when I was 2 years old, and this has been a dream of mine to recreate this walk.
It's about carrying on the legacy and doing something I love and have a passion for.
One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.
If you take suede leather and put it on a piece of steel, and put moisture on it, it actually sticks.
My great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, was my biggest hero in life, my biggest inspiration behind everything I do.
I've seen the video played over and over, and it replays in my head constantly. To be able to walk in his exact footsteps is an extremely huge honor, and I did this for him as much as I did it for my family to get some closure too.
I am so blessed. How blessed I am to have the life that I have.
That mist was thick. It was hard to see at times. The wind was wild. It'd come at me one way and hit me from the front, and hit me from the back.
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.
We train very hard under windy conditions. I've actually walked a wire in my backyard with 90-mile-an-hour winds.
I'd love to come to Australia. I'd love to walk about the Sydney Opera House.
I hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies.
I'm one of those people who always tries to overachieve. I want to do more. I want to do bigger things.
Every walk that I do, there's obstacles in the way. There's always somebody or something that comes across negative, but I live for that sort of thing.
