## Caption

In the 1910s, motorcycle racing was so dangerous that the press called the tracks "murderdromes."

From the Flying Merkel to the Indian eight-valve that ended the sport's golden age, these are the machines that built — and nearly destroyed — American board track racing.

Footage credit for every clip is shown on-screen throughout this video.
