They did at Trek World 2009, only the diameter was smaller. Someone did it on a 29er full suspension.

Yeah, it stands for the north shore of Canada, but now all stunts/ladder bridges are called north shores. Or at least thats what we call them in cali.

You know they used to raise these up to a height of 20' off the ground right?

The actual "Wall of Death" was a carnival vertical wall that was used for motorcycles.

That stuff is crazy! It would be sweet to have a mini one built into a freeride line somewhere.
