The wall of death, motordrome, velodrome[3] or well of death is a carnival sideshow featuring a silo- or barrel-shaped wooden cylinder, typically ranging from 20 to 36 feet (6.1 to 11.0 m) in diameter and made of wooden planks, inside which motorcyclists, or the drivers of miniature automobiles and tractors travel along the vertical wall and perform stunts, held in place by friction[4] and centrifugal force. The original wall of death was in 1911 on Coney Island in the United States.
