Experienced American stuntman and hereditary rope-walker Nick Wallenda amazes the world with fantastic stunts that are breathtaking and deadly to his life. The 33-year-old circus performer often risks himself to truly amaze people with his unique talent. On August 9, 2012, a tightrope walker walked over a zipline over a beach in Atlantic City.
Nick Wallend is a member of the seventh generation of unique circus acrobats known around the world. The first American walked the wire at the age of two. Since then, he has devoted himself with all passion to the family business. The rope-walker, like his family, performs all the tricks without insurance.
A rope-walker walked along a cable over a beach in Atlantic City, stretched at a height of 38 meters. The distance was 400 meters. In the hands of Nick Wallend was a special pole that helps to maintain balance.
A steel cable was attached over the beach between two construction cranes. Nick Wallenda called the main obstacles the sand, which constantly adhered to the cable, and the strong wind. A kind of "walk" took the circus performer 25 minutes. His manipulations on the cable were watched by more than 50,000 people, both on the shore and on the water.
A tightrope walker who walked the zipline over a beach in Atlantic City says the event is a family tradition. Perfectly familiar with the conditions of stunts, Nick Wallenda's mother made special moccasins. Their outsole is made of suede fabric, which prevents slipping on the steel cable.
Nick Wallend has shocked the audience more than once, and his achievements have been included in the Guinness Book of Records six times. In early summer, he crossed Niagara Falls. Then, at the insistence of the broadcasting television company, he used a safety cable for the first time in his life. But the famous rope-walker does not plan to stop there. He announced that his next stunt will take place in the state of Arizona. The cable will be stretched over the deepest canyon in the world - the Grand Canyon. The American rope-walker has already received official permission for this event. If Wallend decides to perform the trick, he will once again be entered in the Guinness Book of Records.
