Sincs has been invited to compete in the world’s most prestigious FMX event; The Red Bull X Fighters.

 

The X Fighters series kicks off on March 27 at the Plaza De Toros Monumental in Mexico City. It is a strictly invite only event with 12 of the best riders from around the world in attendance. For Sinclair it will be the highest profile event of his career to date, however the 24 year old from Pearcedale is looking forward to the challenge.

 

“I’ve always wanted to compete in X Fighters. The events are huge and all the best FMX riders in the world are there, so it gives me a chance to really try and step up my riding.” Cam Sinclair said.

 

Prior to becoming the first Australian to land a double backflip last December, Sinclair had switched to riding a Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke specifically for the stunt, while continuing to ride a YZF250 4 stroke in normal FMX conditions. The X Fighters event in Mexico City however will be the first event Sinclair rides the YZ250 2 stroke machine through the whole event; a decision he made with good reason.

 

“Originally I planned to ride the YZ250 2 Stroke only for doing the double flip, but I know if I ride it full time it is possible for me to do something that has never been done before; to land a double back flip as part of a competition freestyle run. If the conditions are right in Mexico I’ll go for it, but we’ll have to wait and see!” Sinclair said.
