EmailToday's video of the day comes to us from The Great Big Story. The video highlights Kerri Cameron, a motorcycle stuntwoman, who rides for Luke Fox's original "Wall of Death." The wall of death is a nearly vertical, circle-shaped track that most riders would consider insane. Before she was a Wall of Death rider, Cameron rode horses for a living. Today, she performs dangerous stunts with grace and keeps an adrenalin-pumping tradition alive.
We like this story for a few reasons. The Wall of Death itself is an interesting hook. It's something that you don't see everyday and would draw in any viewer. Also, Cameron is a great character, and she brings us through the narrative. Great Big Story does great work and you should check out their other content.
