2024's First Motocross Death is Nearly Unbelievable | Jayo Archer Tragedy

Ойын-сауық

Dirt kicked up into the morning air as the sun rose over the Melbourne motocross crowd, illuminating the racetracks where history was about to be made. The whistle blew and off went twisted metal, a combustion engine, and one wild, courageous rider soaring into the air like a free-flying bird.
You could cut the tension in the crowd with a knife as the bike started to rotate. The same thought played through every audience member's mind: ‘Is he actually going to be able to correct the bike at the last minute?’
For a moment in time, Jayden 'Jayo' Archer was frozen above the roaring crowd, floating over the dirt of a motocross track.
This is the story of a young, talented rider whose dreams and drive for the extreme ended in tragedy.

    I didn't know anything about Jayo until I was researching for this video - the fact that he consistently pulled off triple backflips is unreal. I can't do one while standing let alone on a bike. RIP, Jayo.

    My thoughts exactly. It could have been done in half the time, and without the artificial "aging" of the footage with white lines and spots. It doesn't look "cool" or "edgy," it just looks dumb.

    When I was young I was at a motorcycle shop promotional party and there were a few pros there. I saw a dude in a wheelchair who it turned out was a former pro who'd been put in that chair when he was paralyzed in a wreck. I never forgot that even though I still did several stupid things on motorcycles after that, thankfully the good lord had my back and protected me from myself. Anyway, it's too bad he had to learn the hard way, but as the saying goes "Live fast, die fast".

    I love the sport and much respect to all but at what point does everyone get tired of loosing friends. Eventually there will be limits at competitions on what’s allowed to be done. The triple is amazing but the chances of success is horribly low and if you do it more than once chances are eventually it will end you.

    I’m an old guy. I grew up worshipping Evel Knievel, reading the book (only at that time), and watching every jump, sitting on the edge of my seat, watching The Wide World of Sports. Knievel’s jumps, as tough as they have been then, what these young guys do today is so much more than what was done then.

    I've raced motocross most of my life and have rode recreationally with all the big names everyone is familiar with I knew all these guys when they were young, I don't see a lot of KTM on jumping stuff. The compression and decompression forks on the front kick you funny off the lip of the jump. Most likely where this one went wrong. You have clickers top and bottom of your fork to slow or speed up compression and rebound, KTM, one of the many reasons that bike sucks has compression and rebound on opposite forks. you can put a brace on your forks to help keep your forks from flipping funny off the jump, but it only helps, doesn't eliminate it. You can even see on a couple still shots the bike is a little sideways. On that kind of jump, having to correct that is a big deal. the only way a person would ride one on that level, getting a really good deal. They probably would have never sold one of those piece of craps if Guy cooper wasn't promoting those at the beginning. they just got some big riders to ride them. they all had to carry a few extra rear shocks also, maybe they got that bug worked out but I doubt it. The whole bike sucks though. I wish this guy would've been on Suzuki or Honda, this would've never happened
