The banking in the corners of a common board track started at 25° and run upwards of 60°. This allowed the bikes to maintain speeds of around 100mph. Due to these high speeds, and the dangerous nature of these tracks, the fans often referred to them as “Murderdromes”. By 1931 there were 24 operating board tracks, including tracks in Beverly Hills, California, Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Brooklyn, New York.

when the bikes got up to speed they fired a steel ball in the opposite direction and had to fight over it,that was dangerous stuff back then,with a piece of leather on your head.

Looks like the guy climbing the ladder is getting ready to hand his rider a six-pack of beer as he screams by...

You can see in his eyes that he just wants to get a little closer to the safety rope and snag one of the tasty heads that are all wizzing by.
