Anyone ridden the wall? Is there anywhere where you can learn, or give it a go?

The guy at the steam fairs and the one on the Beeb links is Ken Fox. he is an old mate of mine. I and both my kids have been up on the wall, but only sat in front of him on one of the Indians! Everything you ever wanted to know about Wall of Death:- http://www.wall-of-death.co.uk/

In Bangkok there is a "Wall of Death" sex show. Seriously.The missus tried to take photos of it a couple of years ago but the camera was taken off her and the pics deleted by the heavies in there.

We saw the Wall at Carters Steam Fair in Reading a couple of years ago. The chap told us that he was the only one in the UK so chances are if you wanted to learn in this country, you'd have to go to him. Unfortunately the wall's not mentioned on Carter's web site and I can't remember the name of the chap.

Unfortunately the wall's not mentioned on Carter's web site and I can't remember the name of the chap.That's becuase it's independant of Carters (if it's the one I'm thinking of).Seen those boys several times.

Apparantly it's quite easy to loose control as you have no horizon to judge your balance by whilst up there. If you watch the riders you'll see they're mostly looking "up" a long way rather than forwards.
