Aidan Zingg, a promising young talent in the motocross world, has died following a tragic accident during the 2025 Mammoth Motocross event in Mammoth Lakes, California. Multiple outlets, including the motocross-focused platform DirtbikeLover, confirmed the fatal incident occurred on Saturday during one of the races.
According to reports, Zingg was involved in a crash during the competition and was subsequently run over by multiple bikes. The exact cause of the crash remains unclear, and local authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding the circumstances.
Zingg had quickly become a recognized name in motocross circles, earning a place on Kawasaki’s Team Green — a national support program for the brand’s emerging riders. His death has sent shockwaves through the motocross community, with fans and professionals alike expressing their grief and remembering his positive spirit.
Donn Maeda, a well-known motocross journalist, paid tribute to Zingg online, describing him as “a bright, kind kid” who “always went out of his way to say hello,” even as he matured into a competitive big bike rider, a time when many teens become distant or aloof.
