American Motor Drome Company: Wall of Death Thrillshow

The Wall of Death is a vintage live action thrill show featuring a motor drome, a silo-shaped wooden cylinder 30 feet in diameter. Inside the drome motorcycle daredevils travel along the vertical wall performing trick, fancy, and acrobatic riding.

Motor dromes started on the carnivals and fairs– the midways of America– when entertainment was live and in person. Today American Motor Drome Company strives to keep this bit of history alive by traveling the United States, performing the show as it would have been 100 years ago.

The show features antique Indian and Harley-Davidson motorcycles along with hand built 4-wheeled racing machines.

Nothing compares to seeing the show in person at the top of the 14 foot board wall, where you can smell the rubber burn and feel the wind as the motorcycles race just inches from you!
