View Full Version : Man on Wire
Just saw this movie the other day and really liked it. The guys love for tight rope walking kind of reminded me of mine, and many others dedication to blading. It about a guy who tight rope walks between the twin towers in 1974. It also shows him do it at a few other ridiculous spots If you havent seen this movie yet i recommend it.

tightrope walking isnt that hard....especially with the pole. try a slackline/highline if you want hard.

This movie is awesome, as is Philippe Petit.

i agree about petit and this movie, but i was really disappointed upon trying a tightrope by how simple it is. slacklining is where its at.

i was extremely impressed, not only the feat itself, but laying down/getting back up, juggling, fucking with the cops, the schemes and break-ins, etc.. crazy i used to live 2 blocks from there. the surrounding buildings there now a days seem tall as shit, and comparing them to the pictures/videos of the twin towers hurts my brain. i really would have liked to see them

It's been on my instant queue for netflix for atleast a month. Perhaps this post has inspired me to press play.
