Nik Wallenda walks the cable some 200 feet high Thursday morning from One Watergate Condominium to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Sarasota on Thursday morning.
Wallenda highwire walkThe breeze kicked up a few times as Wallenda walked across a high wire strung between a condo tower and the Sarasota Ritz-Carlton. Midway through the 10-minute crossing, Wallenda stretched out and laid down on his back on the one-inch thick wire, drawing a big applause.
People put down their coffee and cell phones for another ovation as Wallenda reached the other side.
Looking wind-blown and a little jittery, Wallenda smiled as he was introduced as the 'King of the High Wire' in the Ritz-Carlton courtyard.
“I'm honored to be here. This is a very special event for me. I've walked high wires around the world; never in the town where I was born and raise,” he said.
“Let me tell you, there's no view like that one up there.”
Still riding an adrenaline high, Wallenda was brought back to Earth a moment later when a man in the audience pointed out the aerial artist's shoe was untied
