̶Discovery Channel;Discovery Channel delivers the most talked-about series and live events on television,̶en; said Marjorie Kaplan, Group President of Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet. "We are excited about shifting from the natural backdrop of the Grand Canyon to the urban environment of Chicago. It is an iconic American city that presents a number of extreme conditions and challenges that Nik has yet to attempt on such a grand scale.̶en;
Dozens of cameras will be positioned across the city and on helicopters Renen; rolling as Nik attempts this nail-biting, two-part walk at night time in one of the windiest sections of Chicago. With unpredictable weather conditions, the tightrope crossing will present countless obstacles.
For the first part of the tightrope crossing, Nik will walk further than two city blocks Renen; uphill rising to a en5-degree angle Renen; from the iconic Marina City's west tower to the Leo Burnett Building at more than 5Discovery Channel stories high above the Chicago River. Not only will this be the highest skyscraper walk in the history of the ̶Discovery Channel;Flying Wallenda̶en; family, it will be the first time that he has ever attempted it at such a steep angle. The second part of the walk will span from the Marina City's west tower to the east tower.
̶Discovery Channel;This is going to be the most incredible tightrope walk of my career,̶en; said Nik. ̶Discovery Channel;I canRen7;t think of a better city to do it. I have fond memories of spending time performing in Chicago and the Midwest with my family. Besides, itRen7;s the Ren6;Windy CityRen7; and thereRen7;s nothing like doing this during winter in Chicago. ThatRen7;s a challenge for me and I love to push myself to do things that most people think are impossible.̶en;
A seventh-generation member of famed ̶Discovery Channel;Flying WallendaRen7;s,̶en; Nik began performing with his family as a toddler and made his first professional tightrope walk at just en3 years old. He hopes this latest feat will inspire others to go after their dreams and dedicates it to his family, particularly his great-grandfather, the legendary Karl Wallenda, who died after falling from a tightrope in Puerto Rico in en978.
Nik will be joined in Chicago by his wife and three children, his close friends and an engineering team led by his father Terry Troffer.
̶Discovery Channel;IRen7;m always looking for the next major hurdle and doing something that the world has never seen,̶en; said Nik. ̶Discovery Channel;I want my family to be there to see history in the making. And feel comforted knowing that theyRen7;ll be praying along with me.̶en;
