i don’t know if anyone has ever heard of him or watched him but he’s a new acrobat, aerialist, daredevil and high wire walker. He’s done several televised high wire walks on live television the last few years and tonight he’s going to attempt to walk across a high wire across a volcano. It’s on ABC and has been on for an already but he hasn’t attempted to walk across a high wire across a volcano yet.

I’m guessing he’s not married and his mother is dead.

I don’t know about his mother being alive or not but I do know his dad is there and he’s communicating with his dad as he’s walking across the high wire and also he is married and has kids lol. As of right now he’s already been walking across the high wire for 8 minutes.

Yeah it’s fun watching him walk across a high wire across so many different things. This is the third year that I’ve watched his live special. Last year he and his sister walked across Times Square on a high wire and they started at opposite ends of the high wire and had to go around each other on the high wire. Year before last he walked across a section of the Grand Canyon on a high wire. I can’t wait to see if/what he has planned for next year.

On a semi-related note, has anyone watched the documentary Man on Wire? It has been out awhile, this just made me think of it.

I saw it on Prime Video I believe or maybe Netflix. I also saw The Walk around the same time. The visuals were incredible in IMAX.
