Cam “Sincs” Sinclair was the third rider to taste the hard packed dirt. Going for the Double Flip straight out of the gate everyone was on the edge of their seats biting finger nails and nervous as hell hoping Sincs would ride away clean from the trick that nearly claimed his life in competition at Madrid X-Fighters one year earlier. Once again the set-up wasn’t quite perfect as it needed to be for this gnarly trick. Sincs worked with the course builders to try and get it right, but the truth is the lander really wasn’t quite high enough and the angle of the lander not steep enough, something Sincs knows well now as he made the double rotation but the impact with the lander was so heavy, and his weight was slightly forwards when landing, and the front end of his Yami 250 couldn’t handle the pressure and washed out throwing Sincs straight to the ground. He got straight back up to ride on, but his shoulder wasn’t up to it ending his final appearance at X-Fighters in 2010. He is a very lucky man, could have been a lot worse!
