Wallenda world records

  The world records that this Wallenda troupe owns ranges from personal, to Guinness World Record. All records, and firsts, performed safely, and with pride and integrity, but not all recognized by Guinness because of the dangerous nature of these records. The World Famous Wallendas acknowledge that others also achieved greatness, but this troupe boasts these achievements.
