Cam Sinclair has done the incredible, winning his first ever X Games gold medal in Los Angeles, California landing a double backflip in front of over 20,000 screaming fans.

The achievement is something fairytales are made of, with Sinclair being almost fatally injured only one year ago almost to the day, performing the same trick at an event in Madrid, Spain.

An elated Sinclair, was lost for words in winning against the very best in the world of Freestyle Motocross (FMX).

“I’m speechless. I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life and now that it is here, I just don’t know what to say. The last 12 months haven’t been easy that’s for sure; thank you to everyone that has stood by me and helped me get here.” Cam Sinclair said.

While a double backflip may be enough for most to call it quits, Sinclair has already spoken of bigger and better things on the horizon.

“I so stoked to win today, but I still feel I can ride better; I have another trick in my back pocket, but I guess now I’ll have to save it for next year!”

Sinclair’s win marked an Australian One – Two with Robbie Madison taking a strong second place.
