There's irony here: I came over to the Well of Death to beg for votes and I hadn't even upvoted it myself. lol

This is what I want to do when I grow up.

I love how there's just the one dude with a helmet.

What's that "stain" at the bottom of the pit? Oh dear.

so what happens when you run out of gas?

Lame.

Sorry to be a spoiler but I was expecting much more from a country with less safety standards then the USA. There was no death and that was the lamest **** of death I have ever seen. The ones I saw when I were a kid had motorcycles going in opposite directions and criss-crossing.

Edit: I didn't want to just toss out an empty "lame" so I sifted what it took to impress us as kids. This is my idea of eia: http://www.videosift.com/video/Seven-motorcycles-in-one-spherical-cage

That actually looks like fun.

I dont think that's a helmet atara. It looks more like a beanie.

Have to agree with fdisk here, the spheres are much more impressive than this kind of lame action.

I call "shotgun".

"Jane! Stop this crazy thing!"

looks like entrails on the floor, also notice you can see through the pit.... this thing is not osha approved I bet

I used to go to the EX here, its an exhibition with rides and cotton candy all that typical stuff. Our ring was always like the one fdisk described. Multiple bikes criss-crossing, going opposite directions and grabbing money from people right at the top of the ring. Was pretty sweet when I was 8.
