Sinclair landed the double back flip in Darwin last weekend.

Victorian Freestyle Motocross (FMX) inspiration Cam Sinclair has successfully landed the very trick that almost cost him his life nine months ago – the double back flip.

Sinclair’s return to FMX has been one of the most inspirational comeback stories in Australian motorsports. Whilst competing in Madrid, Spain last July, Sinclair under rotated a double back flip suffering multiple broken bones, head and internal injuries.

Doctors believed at best, Sinclair could return to riding a full year following his accident, however this only fueled the 26-year-old’s desire to make a full recovery.

Exactly 282 days later, whilst performing a part of the Crusty Demons Beyond the Apocalypse Tour in Darwin, Sinclair achieved his goal and successfully landed one of the most dangerous stunts in sport.

“Its just such a huge relief to land the double backflip again and leave Darwin in one piece. I’ve been working so hard to prove to myself that this was possible. This is a feeling I will never forget,” Sinclair said.

Now, with the huge weight of landing his 27th double backflip off his shoulders Sinclair feels ready to focus on his ultimate dream, of obtaining an X Games medal.

“The ultimate goal for me is to take the double flip to the X Games in LA this July. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve, I know if I can stay healthy and keep improving I can win a medal,” he continued.

Next up for Sinclair will be performances to sell out crowds in the Nitro Circus Live Tour which kicks off in Brisbane on 7 May.
