Love on 'the wall of death'

Outlook

Available for over a year

Kerri and Luke Fox are a couple who met while riding motorbikes around a 20ft high vertical wooden cylinder known as a 'wall of death.' Inspired by a tradition that dates back to the early 1900s, Luke Fox's father Ken decided to build his own wall in 1995 and form the 'Ken Fox Troupe'. Luke is now following in his father's tyre tracks by entertaining crowds at festivals and carnivals throughout the UK. One of the riders Kerri however came to the job in a more unusual way, when she went to look for employment. Image and credit: Kerri and Luke Fox
