A Malin man died in a motorcycle crash while a video was being shot on Saturday afternoon.

A report from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at about 1:15 p.m. a group of pro riders were filming and making a Monster Energy freestyle motorcycle video at a residence in the 2700 block of Elkhead Road in the Yoncalla area. The report said 23-year old Dustin Riddle, a recreational rider, attempted a jump that he had not done before and was reportedly beyond his skill level. Riddle came up short and bailed off the bike, landing on his feet before striking his head on the ground, instantly becoming unconscious.

The report said Life Flight responded but Riddle was declared deceased prior to transport.
