This guy deserves a medal
and his buddies are pretty nuts too
Seen it done by a few people, it was a pretty common thing years ago, Richard and Linda Thompson recorded a song called ‘Wall Of Death’, REM covered it on a Richard Thompson tribute album.
on a pushbike?
I want to see the bright lights tonight is a fantastic album
First time Ive seen anyone ride this
I said the same thing to my mate on the first of January.
Boom boom!
What’s the stunt? That there’s three of them?
I thought walls of death were a fairly common circus thing?
on a pushbike
also i havent seen guys monkeying around like that on the wall of death
Ive watched a guy taking money out of peoples hands while doing it, iirc he even took the money while driving a car
(this guy)
What? That's a moped, listen with the sound on.
Seriously, you're trolling, right?
This will blow your mind.

no, hes pedalling.
i cant take you lot seriously
They're not pedalling.
The third guy up on the red and white bike is pedalling and it doesn't look like his bike has a motor. The other 2 are on mopeds things.
As an aside I've seen the wall of death with the motorbikes and it's a loud, shaking, up close thing of visceral joy.
Am I remembering wrong, isn't a push bike how Guy Martin started to learn when he did his speed attempt?
No lion sat with them?
Seems its bring your kid to work day. Theres a small child sitting in the middle.
Yes, I’ve noticed the small kid as well. Poor kid, that must have been pretty loud for her.
must have missed it
This would liven up the track pursuit for sure.
Martyn Ashton did it on a road bike!
The wall of death has been around since 1915, some use motorbikes and some use cars
My first time seeing one live was at a Circus/fair in Hastings in 1994 (Backyard jam for any BMX'ers on here)
Dave Clymer (S&M bike riders) tried on his BMX but couldnt manage to stay up on the wall mainly due to the gearing on the BMX
wtf is Rumble?
MBUK rode a Wall of Death (on a normal bike) in about 1993!
I remember the article, it was one of the very first editions of MBUK that I bought when I was looking at buying my first MTB.
A young Colin Furze made his own with a lot of palettes, what a lad with the lid 😕
helped grow his channel !
wtf is Rumble?
Youtube for lovers of "free speech". They actually self blocked themselves in France rather than remove Sputnik news and RT from their streams.
palettes,
Are they posh pallets? Or French ones?

thanks for that
Nothing to add other than when my sister did our family tree about 30 years ago she found out my Grandfather was a wall of death rider. Would have loved to be able to talk to him about it but I only saw him once when I was about 4 years old and he was literally on his death bed.
Been around for decades
