Hands-free thrills at Tipp vintage show

Punters at Tipperary Racecourse were left awestruck when a rider by a different steed revved up some winning thrills.

The original and legendary Ken Fox and his Wall of Death troupe rode up on bikes to perform spectacular skills, riding barely 15cm from the audience and whizzing around the 360- degree wall, which stands 6m tall.

The noise, the speed, the smell, and the proximity of the bikes ridden to the top of the circular wall made it a mesmeric experience.
