Cam Sinclair Lands First Double Backflip in Freestyle Motocross Competition
During last weekend's
Red Bull X-Fighters event in Texas, the third stop on the five event freestyle motocross (FMX) series,
Metal Mulisha rider Cam Sinclair nudged the sport firmly into the next realm of performance by becoming the first rider ever to land a double backflip during a competitive freestyle run. To be clear, until last week the move had only been pulled in Big Trick competitions, like the X-games, but not in freestyle competition, where riders perform multiple moves on a timed run. What's more, Sinclair pulled the move in consecutive rounds while trying to fend off challenges from a dozen of the world's best riders, impressing the big Texas size crowd.
