Delmarva Bike Week 2009 Wall of Death

I spent time at the Delmarva Bike Week in 2009.  I was lucky enough to be able to photograph the American Motordrome Wall of Death performers. This is the original form of extreme motorcycle thrill show which has been around since 1900 and these performers are determined to preserve the art form. There are only a few of these motordromes remaining in existence here in the United States. These guys travel all over the country performing their physically grueling show as many as ten times per day. I decided to present the photos with a retro look to honor the heritage of these great shows.
