Re: Wall of Death!

Couldn't get the video to play, But theirs a guy that has a Wall of Death attraction that Iv'e seen a couple times at Stirgis. He rides a 1937 Indian, you stand on a walkway around the top of the track and he will ride side saddle (feet pointing down) and grab dollar bills from spectators. It's a real trip and anyone that sees the attraction should go see it. For those that haven't seen a Wall of Death ride. Imagine a large wooden barrel about 50' in diameter and someone riding around the inside of it.

Re: Wall of Death!

Same bird that was at H-B Spokes in North Myrtle last month. Didn't watch but heard the nut goin' round and round. I saw a dude doing the same thing back when I was a wee lad. Watched a monkey ridin' a go cart then as well. Had the little fukker chained in it. Today the animal activists would be all over 'em like stink on a ...... Well you know! I'll never forget the look on that monkeys face!:eek:

Re: Wall of Death!

I know this post is kind of long dead but I found this picture today on Craig's list of all things.....some vintage bicycle/motorcycle club south of Boston had posted it in their little advertisement.....I thought it was kind of crazy.

Re: thought this was cool... motordrome

Yeah it is......I added a keyword for searches.

I was Googling researching Sam Morgan (R.I.P.) awhile back, and found this guy -

He had found and photographed the original print of that lion pic, in an old bike shop in Lynn MA.



Sam has loads of historic pix & info (& more lions & ladies) on her original site too - http://www.thrillarena.com/

Re: Wall of Death!

Here is some video I shot of the American Motordrome Company Wall of Death, they performed at the Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival in Birmingham, Alabama last fall.
