Wall of Death | the wildest ride ever

A heart-pulsing spectacle and the family behind it. The wonder that is the Wall of Death was reincarnated and brought to the Goodwood Revival. Riding on 90 year-old 1920 Indian scout motorcycles, this father & son duo risk life and limb for the thrill of the show. Would you let your daughter ride this? #gwoverdrive

When I was a child, back in the 1950's there would be one of these every year at the "Tri-County Fair" and it is impossible to forget the sounds and the spectacle. I can only imagine all the stories from around the world that could be told by the participants in the many thousands of them that ran for so many years.

I remember seeing this exact same thing back in the 60's at a carnival when I was a kid. Could barely believe it: I was mesmerized. You have to see this person - videos don't come close to capturing it.

These guys put on a great show everytime I have seen them. Amazing stunts and the noise is awesome.

used to know a guy with an old wall of death bike. Was an Indian with a shortened frame. Foot clutch, suicide shift, and I believe the throttle was on the left hand (just to keep it interesting, I guess - LOL.) Even still had the original tyres, worn only on one side - although I don't think he'd try actually riding on those ancient bits of rubber now. :-P

Love this 💩! When I was a kid and an avid 2 stroke MX guy I would have rode that thing all day for free! I would have paid them to ride it for kicks. It's fascinating. Love the tradition!

Put the other kids to shame on the day your dad comes to school on career day.

Please rehome me. I wanna relocate across the pond. Ill work for parts and table scraps. Just sayin.

The jeans with them turn ups go against all the tradition of the wall, and looks so wrong.

It should be Jodhpurs and riding boots.
