I think BALL'S of steel is the statement that sums it up very well. 🤟😎

[@mrjoneseastend]

"Are you afraid of dying?" "No, but I broke a nail once." Priceless 😍

[@barryconway]

Good video of a truly amazing spectacle. Anyone who hasn't seen this in person, really should. As the guys say, seeing it first hand (the sounds, the smell, the shaking of the Wall) is an unforgettable experience. Quite the privilege to document these characters and their craft.

[@BryT40]

Yes! Feeling the wall heave is such an exciting part of the show, really adds to the drama!

[@larryskeeper1197]

I saw the wall of death in the 1960s at our local ag show. The whole rotunda was moving about with the weight of the bikes. Same type of performance. Later years we got to see the globe of death. Real skill. Never forgotten it... Wow.

[@amitmitra6487]

Huge fan of Wall of Death and huge respect to all the drivers. It is fairly common in India and I am a regular at most events.

[@-DC-]

Fantastic to see this is person 👍

[@derekbevan7145]

Has to be the greatest show on earth, I got to know Ken and his family are few years ago at steam rallies.

[@quinnkirlew9892]

Such a cool performance, and documented very well!

[@himanshukafirmisra]

When I'm in school ,I used to watch motorbike show of henry Cole on discovery turbo where first time i see ken fox and his team the famous wall of death riders. I heard that they were one of the oldest that fascinates me & so furious to watch them. Afterwards I followed them on instagram

[@pauliebots]

Wall of Life !!

[@alelectric2767]

Seen this when I was a kid back in the 80s in Canada. Remember it being very loud and awesome. Think they were Americans thou.

[@Banditmanuk]

I've watched this show from the top. The Fox family really do put on a great show, you can feel the whole structure move as they speed around. Great interviews and a quality production 👌

[@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel]

Right on Banditmanuk, yeah, show is amazing, thanks for your nice comments too :)

[@AmerAhmad]

Indian 101 scout was and remains the king of the wall of death, even in Pakistan till the 1970's. Now its the Honda 70. Superb show.

[@trevorashworth7307]

Great.Ilove seeing the wall.First saw it At Newcastle Town Moor Hoppings in about 1959-60.The wall if I remember .was Tommy Meshams.Many thanks.

[@richardmounfield7822]

Had the great pleasure of watching you all at Malpas Yesteryear rally today . It really is the best experience seeing you live . First time i saw the wall of death i was just in my teens. Now at 63 it feels just like it was yesterday. Thankyou for putting on a fab show you made my day .Rich from the Wirral.

[@blainehale]

Crazy how it's almost exactly the same as the American one. Building looked identical, bikes are pretty much the same as well.

[@billysolhurok5542]

Newburgh NY? There is a motorcycle museum there folks,and a 'Wall of Death'.

[@hodaka1000]

Saw one the same here in Australia in the late seventies They used ancient BSA's

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

I saw the Fox outfit at the Bham NEC in 2007(?) and it was quite a thrill. Have seen a couple of different outfits here in the States since and they are all amazing riders,bikes and spectacles....Few walk the walk in truer fashion...If you ever have a chance to see a show, don't miss it. A thrilling bit of moto history and genuine hero riders. Not to be missed...

[@mikecartlidge5355]

I can remember helping Graham Cripsey with his Wall Of Death for a week back in the 1990's, build up the wall, being a motorcycle mechanic look after the bikes, fuel,oil and everything safe then during the show I worked the gallery which included the drop, end of the week tear down and load everything back onto the truck, no cranes back then with this wall which I haven't seen in use for years now.

[@paolopolo2207]

Anche in Italia girava una troupe di acrobati nei luna park era uno spettacolo fantastico alla fine giravano al buio era emozionante ora é stdto purtroppo soppiantato da giostre tecnologiche ed é un vero peccato

[@blacksquirrel4008]

I first saw a Wall of Death at the Florida State Fair in Tampa in the 60s. I just checked the American Motordrome schedule and they are still doing that show.

[@hodaka1000]

I remember seeing a Wall of Death on the NSW central coast in the late seventies From memory they were using BSA's from the 1930's I've always said a Wall or Globe of Death complete with vintage bikes would be the ultimate motorcycle collectable

[@glensouza8223]

[@greatkingrat]

Speechless…amazing!

[@seanbaros-qe1rp]
