The Rhett Rotten Wall of Death
is an extreme act of motorcycle racing and cheating death stunts.
Operators like to call theirs, "the world's steepest racecourse,"
and that's exactly what it is.
The Wall of Death has been
around since the early 1900s, almost as old as Harley Davidson.
The Wall of Death Racing Team's barrel was built in 1941, but has
been resurrected for the 21st century. Still using old vintage motorcycles,
they have taken our show to new levels, catching the eyes of all
generations.
Weekend after weekend, Rhett
"Rotten" Giordano races, with life on the side of the
old board track. Rhett Rotten rides a go-kart reaching speeds of
well over 50 mph on the side of the vertical wall, doing the speed
of the wall test ride. The go-kart is really just an introduction
to the show, as it's all about the motorcycles. He rides a 1957
Harley Hummer, fitted with a 250 Harley Davidson dirt bike motor.
Last but not least, he rides
his 1927 Indian Scout, performing breathtaking stunts on the side
of the old board track. But the conquest does not stop there. It
is hard work day in and day out, trying to bring a sport that is
almost extinct, back to life.
And he has, with a good team
behind him. Through sponsorship, pure talent and heart, Rhett Rotten
has become the first paid wall of death rider to ever live. For
the last hundred years the Wall of Death has paid to set their show
up. The team is proud to say, "It's 2003 and The Wall of Death
is Free!" You don't see a football player paying to be in the
game or a band paying to set up and neither will we.
Rhett and The Wall of Death
Racing Team will work hard nationwide, to continually bring their
show to new heights. Adding new tricks, new music, new equipment,
and a new attitude, the team promises to be more than you can handle.
The Wall of Death is no longer just a job..it's a lifestyle! |
