To do this walk, I believe it’s around 2,000 feet, to go from the U.S. to Canada. I would train walking a wire almost 8,000 feet, to overtrain for this. Nik Wallenda Read Quote
We train very hard under windy conditions. I’ve actually walked a wire in my backyard with 90-mile-an-hour winds. Nik Wallenda Read Quote
