Default Wall of death

I know it's been around for ages, but saw this on the telly again and persuaded bf that he'd have to do it as part of his bike test (he had eyes like saucers for a nanosecond before he realised I was kididng):

But has anyone ever had a go in real life? (and were you sick afterwards?)

If you stalled, which would be hard as you would be on the power anyway, but if you did loose power you would just slow down and could easily just come off the wall.

I reckon it would be pretty easy to do.

It's gotta be one of those 'how hard can it possibly be?' things... if you have momentum you're just gonna go up... i'd love to try it, but it's probs just more about balls than skill.
