By the 1980s you would have needed to go into Europe to find one in
operation until a resurgence of interest in running them took place
in the UK. One man who was a part of that renaissance, Allan Ford,
a past rider of the 'wall,' helped resurrect not only the walls
themselves, but general interest in them. This book chronicles the
whole history of this fascinating branch of motorcycling. It
manages to convey why the 'wall' has always attracted audiences
that still keep coming back to watch riders at 90 degrees to the
wooden sides that sway and shake as the bikes cross the individual
timbers that make up the cylindrical track. It also mentions the
variants such as the Globe of Death and the Cycle Whirl, and is as
much a history of entertainment as of motorcycling. If you have
ever stood at the top and had the riders pass inches below you,
apparently defying the laws of physics, and wondered why and how
then this is a must-read book for you.
