Death defying: A stuntman takes his hands off his motorbike as he races around the 'Wall of Death' at a fair in Srinagar, Kashmir

Traditionally the 'cylinder' in which the vehicles perform is made from wood, allowing for cheap repair but also making the feat that more dangerous due to the rickety nature of the track.

Huge crowds pack the top of the 'wall' to watch as performers climb out of car windows or take their hands off motorbike handlebars.
