A 17-year-old girl left school to land her first job as the world’s
youngest female Wall of Death rider – without a motorbike license.
Jaimi
Tyrrell joined a troupe of stunt riders after completing her GCSEs and now
tours the UK and Europe.
The daredevil teen hits speeds of up to 45mph on the
vertical 20ft high wall as she rides horizontally around the 32ft wide
cylinder.
Performing under the name Jaimi Starr, she cannot wear a helmet as this
would affect the drag and she must keep a constant speed to beat the gravity
that would otherwise pull her down.
Jaimi insisted she had no regrets about her
career choice and said she was attracted by the ‘exciting’ lifestyle of a stunt
bike rider.
The teenager was introduced to the motorbike world by family friend
Ken Fox who runs the Ken Fox Troupe stunt riding show.
