All-Action, Extreme Motorcycle Show highlights include Wall of Death, Rockets & 2Bros Stunt Team
Stonham Barns Park – one of Suffolk’s premier leisure, holiday and retail venues – is staging its annual Motorcycle Show on Sunday 5th May – and it will feature around 2000 bikes and a whole host of attractions including the jaw-dropping Wall of Death!
The show – for motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere – will feature award-winning sports bikes, café racers, old school choppers, lifestyle products, show ring displays, trade and dealership stands, autojumble, live bands, bars and hot food outlets.
Multiple show trophy categories will be judged for awards on the day and there will be a full programme of events to thrill including the 2Bros Stunt Team, a professional street bike freestyle stunt team, who will be performing a choreographed show with the very latest cutting-edge street bike freestyle tricks. https://www.2bros.co.uk/
And the highlight of the show will be the oldest surviving Wall of Death in the UK!
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 1928, and the bikes, Indian Scouts, made in 1921. 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 ridden to the top of the wall, barely 6 inches from the audience – an experience never to be forgotten! There will be a £2 per person entrance fee. More information can be found at www.originalwallofdeath.co.uk
Said Luke Fox of the Wall of Death show team, ‘We love the Stonham Motorcycle Show. It’s such a mega day in the show calendar. The bikes, the atmosphere and the extreme demonstrations make it one not to be missed. We will be looking to set the standard in entertainment with the Wall of Death for a third year.’
‘It’s just great to get the feedback from those who watch the show. They are always in awe of what they have witnessed. You must see it – at least once in a lifetime!’
For aspiring young riders there will be the chance to see The Rockets Children’s Motorcycle Display Team, an awesome show featuring riders aged between 5-15 performing tricks, high-speed crossovers and eye-watering jumps. More information can be found at www.therockets.co.uk
Music on the day will be provided by Twist of Rock band who will be performing a wide range of rock, pop and indie music as a backdrop to the day’s action and fun.
Josh Forward of Stonham Barns Park says: ‘The Motorcycle Show is the all-action event that brings in enthusiasts from all over the East of England. So many ultra-cool bikes in one place and the chance for bike owners to swap stories of bike builds. We have got so many attractions to fit in this year – including the sights and sounds of around 2,000 motorcycles. And we have the Wall of Death back by popular demand. It’s a must-see for anyone who loves bikes, speed and drama.’
