History was made Friday night when 33 year old Nik Wallenda walked across the Niagra Falls Gorge, on a tight rope.<br/> <br />He started in the US, and walked 1800 feet across to Canada... all while balancing 150 feet in the air on a two inch wire.<br/> <br />Raised in a family of aerialists, the Flying Wallendas have been at it for decades.<br/> <br />But Wallenda said this particular feat was, at times, very challenging.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) TIGHT ROPE WALKER NIK WALLENDA SAYING:<br/> <br />" Normally I can focus on that cable underneath me, and as it moves underneath me, I focus on that and my body follows it. Well there's no way to do that because if I looked down at the cable , there was water moving everywhere, and if I looked up there was heavy mist blowing in front of my face, so it was a very unique, and weird sensation."<br/> <br />What's next for Wallenda? Look out for him somewhere above the Grand Canyon.<br/> <br />Julie Noce, Reuters
