The cycling madmen of Whiskeydrunk Cycles set up their WhiskeyDrome at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. Bicycle daredevils were on hand doing death-defying tricks.
The Whiskeydrome pays homage to the vintage board track known as “Keith’s bicycle track” which was a traveling stunt show from the 1900′s. Construction of the Whiskeydrome was customized to allow for easy travel and updated with current materials. Photo by Jon Lohne
The board track is 26 feet in diameter at the top lip of the track and 18 feet at the bottom, speeds range between 10-15 miles an hour. The current record, held by Slow Larry was clocked at 17.7 miles an hour at the 2011 Makers Faire. Bicycle theater at it’s finest, the stunts performed by the Whiskey Punks will keep you on the tips of your toes with a one of a kind live performance including races, tricks, games and the inevitable crash.
