    Riding up side down in a metal ball

    I've seen bikes go round on the walls before, but never actually riding upside down, bloody awesome

    I'd give it a go.. looks fun.
    I'd end up dead tho, and most likely take out several people with me.

    RELEASE THE BALL!!!!!!

    Saw that at Juipters Casino in the Gold Coast last year. Four bikes going round and round with a girl standing in the middle. VERY impressive

    I remember The Globe of Death when I was a kid,it was at the Easter Show...same as the Wall of Death.

    We were talking to the Wall of Death owner at Rosebank Speedway a few weeks ago,sounds like he'll be getting the show out on the road again soon.

    Just saw this article in the AUT student magazine. The Weber Bros Circus is looking for some people in NZ to ride in their globe of death.

    Im not surprised they havent found anyone in NZ to do it.
    I would think a necessary qualification would be balls about the size of the cage and very shiny! Great clip though.
