Take a breathtaking motorcycle acrobatics ride at the Wall of Death.
Theres definitely a degree of courage involved, first to balance on the slanting launch pad for a few laps, to shift up and then eventually to switch at the right speed and the required momentum onto the vertical surface. At least 45 km/h must be reached so that the contact pressure through the centrifugal forces is high enough to press the motorcycle along with its rider with more than 3G to the wall.
One lap should last around three seconds. The greatest difficulties are getting a handle on the feelings of dizziness which come about at the beginning, or not sliding off the wall due to insufficient speed. "It is an awesome feeling", says Jagath, when after many practice runs you finally achieve safety and are able to do your laps on the bumpy track.
The V2-750ccm Indian Scouts motorcycles in rigid axles from the years 1927-31, are the first choice of the wall of death acrobats thanks to their low centre of gravity.
When Jagath tells his audience that no insurer is prepared to insure his riders against accidents, he isnt joking. There is a risk of an accident happening on every lap.
This is why the Motorellos are grateful at the end of a show for every donation into the accident fund they set up themselves.
How to use the App:
Start the app and slip your iPhone into the VR headset (ie. Cardboard) and put it on your head. The App then uses the myriad of sensors already available on the iPhone to replicate your head movements, allowing you to look around the virtual environment.
Of course, being made from Cardboard, the Google Cardboard isn’t the most comfortable headset to wear, especially over long periods of time. It’s a good starting point for mobile VR users, but if you find yourself still wanting to use VR after the initial novelty has worn off, it may be worth investing in a slightly more expensive, but more comfortable option, like the ones we’ve listed below.
