Australian FMX icon Jayden Archer dies during training at 27
Jayden Archer stood out amongst Australian motorcyclists. He marked his name in history as the first to execute a triple backflip in the air during formal competitions. This notable event unfolded in November 2022 at the Best Trick contest during the Nitro World Games in Brisbane, Australia.
'It's a sentiment I can't express in words. It signifies a lot more to me than merely an ordinary trick. I have devoted my whole life to this, the past three years being devoted solely to training.' - the sportsman remarked soon after completing the stunt.
