Walking around the Calgary Stampede and we found Nick Wallenda performing.
Hand stands atop 80' sway poles in the wind
Exchange sway poles in the wind
Nik Wallendia appeared from the far end on a tight rope going above 100'
Moving away from the building he had to contend with the large gusty winds that existed.
