The most dangerous sport in American history.
Before NASCAR. Before Harley vs. Indian.
There were the board-track daredevils — men racing on vertical wooden walls at over 100 mph with no brakes, no helmets, and crowds so close they could smell the oil and the blood.
Albert "Shrimp" Burns was the youngest of them all.
A teenage prodigy who fought his way out of the slums of Oakland, chasing speed, survival, and the only thing he truly lived for: Genevieve Moritz.
He didn't ride for legacy.
He rode for love.
Based on the true story they wanted you to forget.
Perfect for fans of:
History you've never heard of
True stories more unbelievable than fiction
Underdogs who beat impossible odds
Featuring rare archival photographs, race documents, newspaper accounts, and newly uncovered details of a sport so deadly the world buried it.
The world forgot him.
This book brings him back.
Read it before Hollywood gets it first.
Narrated by Eli Hopkins using digital voice technology.
