PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayWith the tragic passing of Aidan Zingg over the weekend at the 2025 edition of the Mammoth Motocross Amateur National, we've decided to scrap our normal version of the Social Scoop by FMF. This week's edition will be dedicated to Aidan and feature posts we found from those close to him and with words to say in his honor.
Alex Zingg: "The things I could say. The stories I could tell. It’s been a day and I feel like it’s been a lifetime. My heart is completely broken.
You used to joke that I was so old and that I’d die first, I would always joke that you were crazy and you’d be the first. Now I’m sitting here wishing with everything that I am that you were right so I’d never have to live a day without you.
I have no idea what today, tomorrow, or the rest of my life looks like without you in it. I had everything planned. God had a different plan. I’ll forever find myself longing for that last hug, that last I love you that I never got. You are a light. The vibrancy to every color in my world.
I will forever see you in everything I do. Every time I step into the show pen it will be for you. I will work twice as hard, be twice as good, shine twice as bright, and it will never fill the space you’ve left but I will do my best to pick up where you left off.
I can’t believe you get to meet Jesus before me. Even now you’re still kicking my butt. I am so incredibly proud of you. You were so incredible that God only needed you here for 16 years to fulfill your purpose and He just couldn’t wait any longer to bring you home. I could write a thousand more things to you, but I’ll save them for my prayers.
I love you so much it’s unreal. Fly high but don’t go too far. I love love love you bud."
Garrett Marchbanks: "I can’t believe I’m writing this right now and to be honest, I’m in complete shock still so I’m going to do my best.
Yesterday at Southwick after my second moto, I was pulled to the side by my trainer Broc and mechanic Jed … they told me the news that my good friend Aidan passed away due to a motocross accident while racing at mammoth. This news quite literally brought me to my knees as my entire body just went completely numb. I’ve never in my life experienced such intense heartbreak ever until that moment.
I met Aidan and his family shortly after moving back to California when signing with Pro Circuit and immediately grew a close bond with him. It started out with Aidan and I training together that very quickly turned into a brotherhood. He immediately became a huge part of my life and someone I viewed as family, not just another guy I trained with. Aidan’s work ethic at such a young age was truly inspiring to witness. He was the first kid I could train with that I wouldn’t get mad at if he was better then me that day haha. Which a lot of people would think that’s hard to believe but I was truly just amazed by him. Outside of Aidan’s amazing work ethic, he was a hilarious, outgoing and the most friendliest kid I’ve ever met.
I’m so grateful to have met little Aidan and I will forever cherish all of our memories we made together in such a short amount of time. Everything I do from here on out is dedicated to Aidan and his family. I’ll do my best to make him proud cause I know he’d give me shit if I didn’t lol. I could go on and on about how much Aidan meant to me, but there’s just not enough words to truly describe how much of an impact he had on my life.
I love you little bro, I’m going to miss you like crazy and miss seeing you and little Libby at the track. (Little Libby was the name Broc & I gave his truck) 😂😂
Rest in peace my friend 💔 @aidanzingg"
Kris Keefer: "Our family has gotten to know the Zinggs over the years and became friends/fans of Aidan as soon as we met him. We have tons of stories about him that we will save for another time but this was my first ever text to Bob and it was about Aidan. Aidan was one of the very few young men that I have met that have stood out to me and our family. Well spoken. Firm handshake. Looked me in the eye. Always took the time to say hello. He was one of the most put together young men that I have met. This NEVER changed.
This afternoon after moto one we packed up and left Mammoth to come home. 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. #AZ39"
Mayla Herrick: "In disbelief, words can’t describe how heartbroken I am. Not even a month ago we were golfing together. Aidan, you were the sweetest person to me, you had such a big heart. You had been working so hard and I was so proud of you. You are such an amazingg person nobody will ever forget you. Thank you so much for being there for me through everything. Our inside jokes were so cool and funny. FaceTiming you was always the best. We had so many plans coming up when you were going to Oklahoma, we will have to do them another time ❤️. You are such a thoughtful person and such an amazingg human. Everyone will miss you. I love you forever Aidan. We will see eachother again. #forAidan #💚
Tell everyone you love them 🫶🏻 @aidanzingg"
Vincent Wey: "Life can be so fragile, and losing you feels like a dream we can’t wake up from. As kids, we spent countless hours playing basketball during recess, building jumps, or talking shit to each other. I’ll miss our talks about race strategy and sharing our dreams. We pushed each other to be better, and I’m going to miss that. We will cherish the memories, the laughter, and the moments that made us feel alive together. You will forever be in our hearts, and your light will never fade. It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later. Rest in peace, Aidan. Love you dawg!"
Donn Maeda: "@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. 🙏🏼"
Kelana Humphrey: "Wow I can’t believe this. Aidan, I don’t even know where to start. It feels like just yesterday we were little groms ripping around on pit bikes and training together on 65s. Even though our paths went in different directions, it was always so cool to see how far you came and how well you were doing. You always brought a smile to my face and to everyone around you, I don’t understand this.
Thank you for being such a good friend to me. I’m so thankful to have shared those memories with you. This really puts into perspective how precious life is, and how nothing is guaranteed. This is not goodbye, just a see you later my friend.
Rest in peace, Aiden. ❤️🕊️ Sending prayers and love to the Zingg family threw this difficult time 🙏🏼"
Phil Nicoletti: "We all love this sport. It’s the greatest drug in the world we all get to experience from any age and skill level. It’s the best high and sense of freedom you can get from reality.
@paulperebijnos sent me this video last year after his little buddy Aidan had a dream week at Loretta’s. That week was just the start for a kid who had so much respect from so many credible people in the industry at 16. I never got the opportunity to cross paths with Aidan, but now it’s something I regret. So well spoken and way too genuine to be associated with me, but a little corruption to that kind soul would be a nice touch. You made me smile and laugh kid. RIP Aidan Zingg."
Taylor Salisbury: "I took this picture of Aidan right after he spent 20 minutes trying to convince me to let him “borrow” $100 to use at the slot machine. He settled for about 100 games of black jack and 21 instead but he wasn’t pumped about it. Although Aidan was outstanding on a dirt bike, he was better at being kind to everyone he encountered, making sure everyone was laughing because of his witty comments, listening when nobody was, accepting advice humbly and applying it. Aidan was an example of pure joy and lit up every room he walked into, usually followed by a 67 joke or talking about how perfect his golf swing was. Aidan was loved by so many and it’s clear that everyone was permanently affected by him in the best ways possible. May Aidan be an inspiration to us all to live everyday we are blessed with like he did. We will never understand the “why did this happen?” but we trust in Gods plan that he’s with Aidan right now eating all the ice cream, playing all the golf, ripping all the surron 73s and playing all the slot machines. Praying everyday for the Zingg family and all his friends he considered family. We love you bubs❤️"
Brody Moss: "Aidan… I had some of the best memories with you man. You’ve been with me since day 1. You were one of my very best friends and was always there for me no matter what. We did some stupid stuff together but it’s all just a memory now. You taught me how to edit my videos, play golf, how to be mentally stronger, gave me tips when we rode. We had so many more years with each other, so many plans when you came back from mammoth. I love you and miss you dude. I promise I’ll make it for you ❤️ #4aidan"
Talon Hinson: "Broken 💔 over the loss of @aidanzingg
Aidan- thank you for always being someone I could look up to, turn to for things and be a big brother when I didn’t have one. You showed me what a good human should act like. Your positive attitude and willingness to help me never went unnoticed, whether it be on the gate, training days, talks in the trailer or even free pit rides on the one wheel. I am going to miss you so much. I keep asking God why you? Although I’ll never understand why, I’m trusting in his faithfulness and his plan. Love you buddy, and I now have one of the best guardian angels. Until we meet again 💚#az39
To the whole Zingg family. We are all behind you, and lifting you up in prayers."
Dan Truman: "As a parent, this one hits even harder. I got to know the Zingg family through one of my best friends Paul. Over the past few years, he had taken Aidan under his wing. He was trying to guide him down the right path for success. After he won Loretta’s, we would talk about sponsors, training, he just wanted to be around good people.
Aidan was always respectful, always willing to listen, always learning. I watched the motos at Pala with him just a few weeks ago he was locked in, studying every rider. His family gave everything to support his dream, like so many motocross families do.
I can’t imagine what they’re going through. My heart is with the Zingg family and everyone who loved Aidan. #RIP #AZ39"
Kayden Harvey: "I truly wish there was words or an answer to everything that has happened. If you knew Aidan you know his smile could light up the darkest room, his drive to succeed was unmatched and he truly had a soul as pure as gold. Whether it was on the bike or off he always made sure his friends and peers around him were as happy as he was. I only got to know Aidan for about a year but I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile on his face, cracking jokes about training or how his racing career was going. The countless Snapchat’s back and forth of clean kits, what we were having for dinner when “mom wasn’t home,” or the random dance battles we’d have with ridiculous filters, always made every conversation or moment with Aidan more than special. If he had five seconds to give at the track or away, Aidan was always checking in and making sure the day was going as good as it could. I’ll never forget The junior club challenge at top golf, rushing to your pit after your LL title, riding your pit bike at your house or any moment I was able to cherish with you. You will always be missed, cherished and loved, holding a very special place in my heart. This isn’t a goodbye, it’s just an I’ll see you later AZ. Godspeed buddy❤️ #az39🕊️"
Adam Cianicarulo: "A young man with a dream 🪽 Our thoughts and prayers are with the Zingg family. Godspeed Aidan. #AZ39🕊️"
Velocity Productions: "One final edit of Aidan, words can’t describe how amazing you are as a person and i can’t thank you enough for everything that you have done for me. I am so grateful i can call you not just a friend, but a brother. you will be in my prayers every night dude i love you, your home buddy, you are home, with jesus himself. #AZ39💚🕊️ forever"
Hillsack: "I got to interview @aidanzingg last year at Loretta Lynns. Every so often I meet someone like him that leaves a huge impression on me and really sticks out from the crowd. He definitely had something about him that was special. I truly thought he’d become the next Jett Lawrence. He had that kind of charisma. Last I saw him was at Pala and he made sure to come up and say hi to me and chat for a minute. It’s hard to imagine what all of his close friends and family are feeling. My deepest heart felt condolences to all that knew him. God speed Aiden 😢❤️
These pics are of us listening to Kevin Windham telling some hilarious old moto stories"
Seven MX: "We mourn the loss of the beloved, Aidan Zingg. The Seven family had the privilege of being part of Aidan’s childhood, watching him grow into an exceptional young man, friend, and racer. He left a lasting impression on every person he came into contact with. Please keep the Zingg family in your thoughts. Forever in our hearts❤️"
