THEY RIDE MOTORBIKES ON VERTICAL RACETRACKS, RISKING THEIR LIVES FOR JUST FIVE DOLLARS A SHOW. THE WALL-OF-DEATH HELLRIDERS ARE SAVING AMERICA’S OLDEST EXTREME SPORT—BY LIVING THEIR OWN RADICAL FORM OF FREEDOM: PART 1

With just an hour to go before the show is set to begin, hellrider Charlie Ransom sits in his dimly lit trailer, massaging a bluish swelling above his right ankle. It’s 10 a.m. in Fort Meade, Florida, a flat stretch of land about 50 miles east of Tampa. The distant clattering of engines comes drifting in through the open windows of Ransom’s trailer. His stunt show is making a guest appearance at a display of antique tractors here in the middle of nowhere.
