Terrible news today as rising team green amateur star, Aidan Zing, has passed away after a crash at Mammoth Mountain MX.
Donn Maeda of Swapmoto said of the young rider: “@aidanzingg was one of those kids that made an impression on you from the moment you met him. I interviewed him for our race series years ago when he was on a 65 and when I asked him how long it’d be until he beat his dad, he smirked and said, “Soon, I’m sure.” After that, he always went out of his way to say hello, even recently when he grew into a fast big bike rider…you know; the age when teens get cocky and cool. Not Aidan. I’m in Illinois at the Mini Monsters at Lincoln Trail, and I have many memories of him at these races. Motocross gives us all so much pleasure, but it can also take from us. I’ve been told that he suffered fatal injuries at Mammoth MX today. My heart goes out to the Zingg family. I can’t even fathom what they’re feeling. Rest easy, buddy. 🙏🏼”
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all that knew him at this extremely difficult time.
Rest in peace, Aidan.
