Moderator YamaHead Posted March 16, 2006 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2006 My wife & I saw a similar exhibition like this once......with a Father & Son duo riding XR100's. If the riders get close enough to each other during this routine, the globe starts to shake like a washing machine outta balance during the spin cycle!

Using live rounds they would storm the building with a VIP in it as the hostage and shoot targets around the room. The VIP/hostage would have to stay still or get shot. Unfortunately one time one VIP got so scared and they mover by about 1/2 an inch and took a slug. Now they can't use live hostages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted March 19, 2006 Admin Share Posted March 19, 2006 I seem to remember that Pricess Di was also one of the so called hostages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ross Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I remember seeing one of those at the Easter Show in Sydney about fifty years ago. There was also the "Wall of Death" at Luna Park, where guys rode round the walls of a very cramped wooden cylinder, coming to within inches of the top and doing complicated crossovers. The interesting thing was that this was in about 1955 and they were riding Indians! Unfortunately I was too young to recognise the model, but they were definitely Indians.

Captain Starfire Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Indians had left hand twistgrips, that may have been something to do with it. Cripsey's Wall of death (with 1925ish Indians) is still going in UK, though I don't know who owns it now. Saw it a few years ago - the sort of thing everyone should see at least once in their sweet life. That globe is AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
