This is Amazing!! French Daredevil Rolls Over 99 Mountain Curves in China

Inventor of France's 31-wheel roller suit Jean-Yves Blondeau has successfully rolled down the 99 curves and zigzags of central China's Tianmen Mountain on Sunday. 

Blondeau, 42, is known as the French "Rollerman" for his skating speed record of 110 kilometers per hour. Blondeau's roller suit is comprised of 10 parts, including a helmet, protective wear, kneepads and armguards. He specially prepared two suits for the Chinese mountain challenge to ensure its success. One blue-colored suit features 32 wheels for increased speed, while another golden variation boasts broader wheel treads for better control. 

The Tongtian (sky-ascending) Avenue where Blondeau drifted down the mountain extends only 10.77 kilometers in length. However, 1,000 meters separate the elevations of the starting point and the finishing line. The avenue is also composed of 99 sharp bends, with most paths stretching along steep cliffs.

Daredevil Nik Wallenda becomes first person to cross right over Niagara Falls over tightrope

It was a sight to be seen with awe, fear, excitement and heart throbbing at its fastest speed when  Nik Wallenda  started walking over the roaring and foamy Niagara Falls to attempt to cross it for the first time in the history over a stretch of 1,800 feet Friday night.

Though tethered to the wire to prevent falling to nearly certain death, he still contended with wind, water and an unfamiliar wire as he walked all the way from the Goat Island U.S. to Canada.

The daring acrobat set off around 10.15 to whoops and cheers from the huge crowd at the atmospheric event, and arrived on the other side of the Falls within half an hour.
