Jayden Archer: Australian motocross star dies after crash during practice
Australian freestyle motocross star Jayden Archer has died, reportedly crashing while practicing the trick that made him famous.
Archer, 27, was the first motocross rider to land a triple backflip in competition, at the Nitro World Games in Brisbane in November 2022. Moments later, he proposed to his girlfriend.
He was killed while practicing the trick at training in his hometown of Melbourne, according to ESPN.
Archer was a star of the Australian motocross scene. He secured a sponsorship deal with Powersports Kawasaki in 2011 at the age of 15, after becoming the youngest person on record to land a motorcycle backflip over 75ft.
He was a medalist at the X Games in 2023 and was one of only three people known to have performed the triple backflip.
Moments after landing the trick in November 2022, he said: “I cannot describe this feeling. This is so much more than a trick to me. I’ve dedicated my entire life the last three years, to this moment. There were a lot of obstacles and broken bones and knockouts, and I would do it 100 times over to relive that moment again.”
