He competed for the LG World Championship in 2008. He was injured while practicing for a double backflip in June 2008 and he was unable to compete until September 2008.[1]
Sinclair landed the first double backflip in a freestyle motorcross run at the third event of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2009. It was a June 2009 event in Fort Worth, Texas.[2] He landed two double backflips in the competition and finished third at the event.[3] The double backflips were in the qualifier and quarterfinals.[4]
Sinclair was seriously injured in Madrid in July 2009 when he under rotated a double back flip. Cam was fighting for his life in a critical condition in Madrid. He suffered a broken shoulder, broken cheek bone, a ruptured liver and was knocked unconscious. Due to the rupture in his liver he had emergency surgery for internal bleeding. Thankfully surgeons were able to stop the bleeding. After retraining himself using therapy to walk and ride again, Sinclair is back competing, and he did one of the greatest comebacks in action sports history by successfully completing the Double Backflip again at X games in 2010, winning his first X Games gold medal in Moto X Best Trick.
Sinclair lives in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and married longtime girlfriend, Brooke, on January 7, 2011.[5]
