The image showcases the audacity and thrill-seeking nature that defined this era between the wars. The crowd is visible in the background, their faces filled with awe and excitement as they witness this incredible stunt. Spectators line up along the track, eagerly watching every move made by both bikes and motorbikes alike. Among them are men who can't help but be captivated by this display of extraordinary talent. John Topham's monochrome photography perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of this unforgettable day.
