Ormond Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just finished watching an incredible two new world records between two skyscrapers in Chicago. One for the steepest incline tight rope ever. The second for the highest blindfold walk ever.... Blindfold! Those are some records! Was it highlighted back home like here?

Ormond Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Fair play tae ye, Ormond. That would've been quite something to see live.I wasn't there in the flesh. :-D I'm down in Missouri working this week. I watched it live on the tele. It was all over the news here all week in the build up. I was just interested in seeing if it made the news back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just saw it myself there - Jesus Christ. Nah, he walked on water (so they say ). Pretty sure he didn't do it up a slope like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Shouldn't she be on the other thread? I thought that wee wire was about as narrow as she could go. No way could she do it on a bit of thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
