    Description

    The Globe & Wall of Death will be held on Saturday, August 2nd – Saturday, August 9th, 2014 in Sturgis, South Dakota. This Sturgis motorcycle event is held at Full Throttle Saloon and hosted by Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

    In the early 1900's, before Evel Knievel or the X-games, there was the Wall of Death - the original, extreme, "grand daddy" of all motorcycle stunt shows. Spectators watch from the top of a cylindrical drum, looking down at the riders as they begin from the bottom-center and ascend a ramp until they gain enough speed to drive horizontally onto the wall.

    In a similar act called the "Globe of Death" the riders loop inside of a mesh-wire sphere instead of a drum. The Ives Brother were 9 & 8 years old when they mastered the Globe of Death, and after applying those skills to the Wall of Death at the ages of 17 & 18 years old, they made a traveling show of their amazing talent performing these fangerous stuntsĀ and are bringing it to you @ Sturgis Motorcycle Rally!
