Zingg was a highly-rated racer signed to Kawasaki’s young driver programme.

The Californian star was even crowned national motocross champion in 2024.

Fellow rider Kris Keefer led the tributes, writing: “Our hearts hurt so much for the Zingg family and they are heavy on our minds.

“He impacted so many people because of the home he was built from and for the young man he was.”

Journalist Donn Maeda posted online: “Aidan Zingg was one of those kids that made an impression on you from the moment you met him.

“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.”

Zingg was described in one obituary as “a beloved son, a devoted friend, and a rising star in the world of motorcycle racing”.

The piece also said his “competitive spirit was matched only by his kindness”.

Fans penned emotional tributes online, writing: “May he rest in peace.”

Another added: “Our sport is cruel sometimes.”

Zingg’s family have supposedly asked for donations to be made to youth motorsport safety initiatives rather than flowers.
