Skywalker Freddy Nock Skips a Rope Record

Circus artist Freddy Nock had to break off his latest attempt at a further world record on the rope. The planned record should have been completed in Bern by driving a bicycle over a tight rope 150 m (492 ft) in length and 50 m (164 ft) from the ground. The disappointment was obviously great.

Skywalker Freddy Nock Knocks Down Another World Record

Circus artist Freddy Nock did it again. Only two days after completing a Guinness worthy world record on the Zugspitze in Germany, he completed another world record attempt successfully on the Feuerkogel Mountain in Austria, this time on a slack rope with a steady incline.

The Real Skywalker: Freddy Nock

Fancy a little walk? How about doing it on the cable of a cable car in the Alps with 150 meters (500 ft) of air between you and the ground? How about doing it over a kilometer, a mile, or more? That’s what a real Skywalker does for a living and currently to set some records.
