For as long as there have been motorcycles there have been men and women who have dared to push the envelope of safety, physics, and common sense…..enter the motorcycle daredevil. The origin of the word daredevil dates back to 1785, (according to Random House) As early as 1911 the motordrome in Coney Island featured the wall of death with motorcycle madmen pushing the limits of speed and safety atop tricked out Indian, BSA, and Harley Davidson motorcycles. There was even one stunt that had a lion in a special sidecar attached to a souped up racecar. By 1915 there were over 100 wall of death attractions traveling with carnivals across the U.S. In 1912 the Ringling bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus were entertaining crowds with the cage of death. Now you can count the number of these daredevils on two hands (worldwide). So take a look at this cool video that supposed to be released soon.
