| Wallenda's dad says son is 'thrilled' to carry on family wire walking tradition
TORONTO - When Nik Wallenda steps out onto a cable Friday night,roger vivier sandals, balanced 60 metres above the churning foot of Niagara Falls, he won't be alone. He'll have his father acting as both a calming presence and a technical advisor,isabel marant, talking to him through an ear piece, and he will also carry with him the legacy of all seven generations of daredevil Wallendas. "I don't think it's a lot of pressure, I think for him it's a lot of pleasure," Terry Troffer said in an interview. ET will be broadcast live on ABC, with CTV carrying it in Canada. The American broadcaster is partly funding Wallenda's walk,isabel marant coupon code, which Wallenda estimates is around $1.3 million with fabrication and installation of the custom-made steel wire,Isabel Marant Perkins, permits and security on both sides of the border,Isabel Marant Sneakers Online, travel and marketing. But ABC also requested he wear a tether in case something goes wrong. It's not to Wallenda's liking,Isabel Marant shoes. "If anything it makes me nervous to wear a tether,Isabel Marant outlet," he said at a press conference this week. "Never in my life have I worn a tether (during a stunt) so it's just an added thing on my mind." Wallenda says in his mind the tether won't even be there. "It will follow along and trail behind me,merrell online shoes," he said. "In no way does that harness keep me on the wire whatsoever. The only thing it does is guarantee I cannot plummet to my death." While the "only thing" ensuring Wallenda won't die on live television attracts his scorn,merrell shoes online, the death of famed Wallenda patriarch Karl Wallenda hangs over the family. He died in 1978 while performing a wire-walking stunt in Puerto Rico,roger vivier flats online. The family says misconnected wires caused him to fall and plunge to his death. "Having the privilege of knowing Karl myself and working for him I knew that one of his priorities was keeping the family name going and Nik is just fulfilling that to the greatest extent,isabel marant sneakers," Troffer said. As a teenager in Sarasota,merrell shoes on sale, Fla.,isabel marant 2013, Troffer got involved with a local circus school and heard that Karl Wallenda was hiring boys to erect and dismantle circus equipment. Troffer called him up,roger vivier heels, got a job,isabel marant shoes, ended up walking wires and marrying Karl Wallenda's daughter. He performed for 36 years and is excited now to be his son's support.相关的主题文章： http://www.forumkbk.fora.pl/sesje-rpg,6/buns-won-firm-up-nike-blazer-dblj,2426.html#2634 http://www.ovissms.co.id/blog.php?user=knicasl99&blogentry_id=1486353 http://www.miraclegenerationnetwork.org/profile.php?user=sk25h5gjs&v=comments http://www.combiventlwv.fora.pl/combivent-inhalation,1/wolves-beat-bucks-for-adelman-s-999th-nba-win-nike,3276.html#3316 http://www.glucophagemwnbi.fora.pl/belle-that-just-one-feared-you-herever-the-scars,1/learn-the-rules-of-smart-shoe-shopping-nike-blazer,10549.html#10801 http://margarettucker.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25058 http://www.ambienulaxc.fora.pl/bruno-swallowed-get-enough-all-through-stubbed-out-plendid,1/is-there-any-crossplatform-gui-for-ruby-that-is-ea,2005.html#2027 http://ns2tw.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=73750 http://www.tidesoffortune.fora.pl/handel,14/court-says-officer-s-evidence-about-dog-poop-admis,2072.html#2170 http://www.diprolenezkxei.fora.pl/alfie-there-teeth-bared-remember-that-thing-felt-comment,1/buy-a-new-pair-of-jogging-shoes-nike-blazer-jeod,9712.html#9918 http://www.lorazepamfsytk.fora.pl/raina-pushed-tadalafil-soft-some-dumb-hunt-you-horn,1/the-coveteur-leaders-tray-on-their-best-closet-nik,2020.html#2040 http://www.antabusemrlnh.fora.pl/asher-slipped-werewolf-but-some-sound-pure-human-fooled,1/my-new-red-shoes-helps-the-homeless-get-back-on-th,1892.html#1914 http://www.th3gimp.fora.pl/hydepark,14/vikings-betting-on-walsh-to-fill-longwell-s-shoes,2094.html#2104 http://www.vioxxyptxz.fora.pl/alfred-frisk-help-the-walking-corpse-hiding-growing-marijuana-plants-sleep-through-onata,1/grand-canyon-has-ethereal-beauty-nike-blazer-hsxs,1863.html#1889 http://www.ephedraonline.fora.pl/forum-testowe,1/club-world-cup-profile-nike-blazer-bsyt,3562.html#3600 |
