I was assuming that the height didn't psychologically affect these people, since only 18 came.I mean, they've got to be the best. It's like how performing in the Olympics might make you do worse just because of all the pressure, but theoretically, it shouldn;t, |

It's easier to walk with the pole. If they did it without the pole I would be more impressed. |

Actually, Opie, it does.
If you were walking on that wire and it was 5 inches off the ground, do you think you would do as well on one that was 300 feet in the air?
Unless you dont care about the height - then it's harder. =D WOOO! |

You guys do realize that it being higher doesn't make it harder?It's not like the air belong you is pulling you down. And I would NEVER be able to pull that off. HA. |

I agree Yellowsquare. How in the world do they found out about these sort of things?!The guy who was running made it look easy. (I did not state that it WAS easy, I said he made it LOOK easy, so don't chew me out about it. RoaR.) |

It would be a ton more extreme if they lit the wire on fire and covered the constestants in oil.And it would be funner to watch  |
