High-Wire Walker Nik Wallenda Plans Next Stunt
Christian tightrope walker Nik Wallenda is getting ready for his next stunt. His latest adventure will take him to the Windy City.
The 35-year-old stunt man is planning two tightrope walks in Chicago. The first walk will stretch more than two city blocks on an uphill 15-degree angle from one high-rise to another above the Chicago River.
The second walk will go between the west and east towers of Chicago's Marina City Building. Wallenda says he'll be blindfolded for this walk, which will be 635 feet off of the ground.
The event is scheduled for Nov.2.
Wallenda has walked across the Niagra Falls and the Little Colorado River Gorge in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon in the past two years.
Wallenda says tight-rope walking is what God calls him to do.
In a 2012 interview with CBN News, he had the following advice for anyone looking to find their calling.
"Its all about faith, you know, God's grace is bigger... and you know His grace abounds. It's really important that you learn more, study God, and become closer to Him and it will naturally come to you," Wallenda said.
