The Wall of Death
has been around since the early 1900's, almost as old as Harley
Davidson. Our barrel was built in 1941, but has been resurrected
for the 21st century. Still using our old vintage motorcycles,
we have taken our show to new levels, catching the eyes of all
generations.
The Rhett Rotten Wall of Death is an extreme act of motorcycle
racing and cheating death stunts. We like to call ours, "the
world's steepest racecourse," and that's exactly what it
is. 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 our show, we are
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. We are 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, bad ass equipment, and a new attitude,
we promise to be more than you can handle. The Wall of Death
is no longer just a job...It's a Lifestyle! |
