The Wall of Death has been synonymous with speed and danger since its conception back in the early part of the 20th century. The Original Wall of Death harks back to those early days, with the Wall being constructed in 1929, and the bikes, Indian Scouts, made in 1928. Established by Eddie Monte on the Pat Collins fairs in the 1930s, the Original Wall of Death is now owned and run by Ken Fox. All those who see the show will remember it for the rest of their life. The noise, the speed, the smell, the proximity of the bikes being ridden to the top of the wall, barely 6 inches from the audience – an experience never to be forgotten! This is a true family affair, The Stannage International Stunt Team, Mark, Janine, and Aaron Stannage have worked world wide as the Stannage International Stunt Team for over 15 years established in the year 2000, bringing excitement to audiences of all ages. Team leader Mark Stannage started his professional career in 1984 at the tender age of 14, now with over 30 years experience specializing in car, motorbike, fire and high fall stunts, performing some of the most spectacular stunts ever seen on film or TV. Mark and his family perform their spectacular High Fall Show, Flaming High Fall Show, these include the following: This world record breaking stunt team have performed their shows all over Europe and the Middle East, recently returning from the Muscat Festival in Oman. Mark and his wife Janine will be commentating these fantastic shows, their son Aaron following in his father’s footsteps, at only 20 years old he has 16 years experience as a stunt performer. Aaron having performed on various TV shows and Newspaper features in the last few years he is fast becoming a star in his own right, himself also a Guinness World Record Holder. Wall of Death
