Official home peoria's budweiser grand nationals weekend
Budweiser Grand Nationals Weekend is proud to present TWO great Stunt Show Exhibitions!
WALL OF DEATH
You won't want to miss the thrill of The Wall of Death featuring a drum or barrel-shaped wooden cylinder in which stunt motorcyclists ride and carry out tricks. Derived directly from US motorcycle boardtrack (motordrome) racing in the early 1900s, the very first carnival motordrome appeared at Coney Island amusement park (New York) in 1911. This carnival attraction became a staple in the US outdoor entertainment industry with the phenomenon reaching its zenith in the 1930s with more than 100 motordromes on traveling shows and in amusement parks and now it coming to the Budweiser Grand Nationals Weekend. Performances all day every hour!

HEAVY METAL STUNTS
With a background in the sport bike stunt scene, Chris and Ricky have traveled the country performing in front of crowds and bringing spectators to their feet. Wanting to change things up a bit, and add more of a challenge, they picked up a couple Harley Davidson Sportsters. Heavy Metal Stunts was born. With an appetite for putting these machines to their limits, a Heavy Metal stunt show is sure to drop jaws and turn heads at any event.
The Midwest's best V-twin stunt team!
