DirtyDeeds Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 lol, in the midst of endless "Thank you Jesus, Thank you God, how I praise you Jesus"s, he was asked a question about how the harness felt, and he said, "It's fine, but I just feel like a jackoff, errr, jackass, wearing it. Thank you Jesus, Praise you Jesus."Not that I can blame the guy for anything he says or feels, but it was a funny juxtaposition and I wonder if he'll get yelled at for saying that later.

Glad I didn't drive down for it. He didn't want the tether either, but it was the only way he got financial support from ABC. Now hopefully they will be able to work with him in the future and maybe make it a little more dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I applaud the physical achievement,wholeheartedly...but,a tether?meh..I was underwhelmed,wasn't worried for the guy at all. Glad I didn't drive down for it. I wasn't worried for the guy's safety either, but it was a remarkable accomplishment regardless of the harness. Not just because of the distance, but also because of the strong wind and all the water. The thing that surprises me the most is that he didn't appear to have any eye protection whatsoever, I don't know how the the mist and spray didn't affect his vision.

James Bond Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I was working (Canadian side). The coolest thing was seeing thousands of people walk up after it was done. Just a swarm of cheering. It was an incredible sight. Good for Nik! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I applaud the physical achievement,wholeheartedly...but,a tether?meh..I was underwhelmed,wasn't worried for the guy at all. Glad I didn't drive down for it. I agree.Being tethered takes away all the excitement. I would attempt to do it - if I knew I couldn't get hurt. Would I try it without a tether? Not in a million years. Without the risk of death....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
