The Wall of Death has been synonymous with speed and danger since its conception back in the early part of the 20th century. The Original Wall of Death harks back to those early days, with the Wall being constructed in 1928, and the bikes, Indian Scouts, made in 1921. All those who see the show will remember it for the rest of their life. The noise, the speed, the smell, the proximity of the bikes ridden to the top of the wall, barely 6 inches from the audience is an experience that will never to be forgotten!
Said Luke Fox of the Wall of Death show team, ‘We love the Stonham Motorcycle Show. It’s such a mega day in the show calendar. The bikes, the atmosphere and the extreme demonstrations make it one not to be missed. We look forward to entertaining the crowds again for this awesome family show.’
