Free | Best Week Ever

Nik Wallenda (of the famous Flying Wallendas) performed a stunt on The Today Show this morning that was more than just a reminder to David Blaine that he sucks, it was absolutely terrifying. His idea was to walk a high wire 135 feet in the air, AND ride a bicycle across the same high wire (breaking a world record), WITH NO NETS. So throughout the show this morning, they kept leading up to it and telling us about this amazing event that was about to happen. Meredith and Matt repeatedly reminded us that this stunt was NOT their idea and that they will have absolutely NO blood on their hands should Nik die during the stunt. Meanwhile, they do a segment about daredevils in general, and show footage of Nik s grandfather FALLING TO HIS DEATH doing a similar stunt. So, finally, when the guy does his trick, Matt, Meredith, and Ann are virtually about the sh*t their pants.
The best part is definitely when he s about to finish the bicycle trick, and Matt is like go go go go go do not go backwards do not go backwards, like as if he was about to say oh Jesus oh Jesus please don t die please don t die under my watch I am getting way to old for this sh*t!!!!
