Cycling Stunt Men Prove Their Mettle in the Whiskey Drome

Bikes Fun & Games


The cycling madmen of Whiskeydrunk Cycles, part of Fun Bike Unicorn Club, set up their Whiskey Drome at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. In the vide above, Joshua Thwaites and Joey Caster tell us about the inspiration for this barrel-shaped arena while cycling daredevils perform dangerously fun stunts along the perimeter of the ‘drome.

    I seen motorcycles ride the wall of death, never had the desire to make that effort again. My guess I’d see this bicyclists ride it once, and be equally satisfied.
