    Awesome, Video of the Grand Canyon Skywalk!

    This is an awesome video showing off the brainchild of the Native American Hualapai tribe. This is beautiful, I am so proud of this tribe, I think it will be one of the new wonders to visit here in America!

    Thanks for sharing that Nitty. I'm still not sure I would feel comfortable on the walk but it sure is a unique and beautiful way to see the canyon.

    My stomach drops to the floor just from the video. It is an amazing idea and I hope it works out well for them. One of many places I've never seen and look forward to it someday. I did go to the Sears tower and expected to be terrified but it didn't bother me at all. Didn't seem real........ I'd never be brave enough to sit on the ledge like that one guy did!!!

    I see that I am in good company here lol, I have a very deep fear of heights, that is hard for me to admit, just looking at that thing makes my legs ache and hurt that guy on the ledge, I almost fell out of my chair lol, I really get vertigo looking at that kind of heights, i just thought it beautiful and it will I think really bring in the crowds, I would love to look at it from a little distance lol.

    We were asked to provide a long-range lighting system to cover the opposite canyon wall at night. We did a demo there about this time last year with some 10kW Xenons.

    The skywalk looks like it will draw a great many tourists!

    I'm not thrilled with heights, but I'd probably walk out for the view.

    Great job and much success with the skywalk!

    It's really beautiful. But I am so afraid of heights that I get dizzy just looking at the film. I can't even watch tv shows that have scenes from tall buildings.
