Man on Wire

Anyone see this a short while ago.

Freaking unreal Balls of steel that man

Get the Heebie Jeebies when watching programmes like this (vertigo kicks in) but fascinating all the same. Wished there was more video of the actual crossing at the end though.

Re: Man on Wire

A bloody nutcase.

What is it with the French and s*** like this.

That SpiderMan guy who climbs buildings is French too.

Its great to watch, but it gives me butterflies in my stomach to watch as I hate heights.

Re: Man on Wire

..and there was me expecting that he only crossed once not 8 times !

Great watch and even now he has so much energy when he talks. It's like watching a child.
