Christian Pfeiffer (20 April 1970 – 12 March 2022) was a German motorcycle stunt rider and multiple time world champion (2003, 2007, 2008 and 2009).
[1][2] He was a four-time winner of the prestigious Red Bull Scramble (1996, 1997, 2000 and 2004) and he also broke many Guinness World Records during his 20-year professional career as a rider.
[5] In 1985, Pfeiffer won the West German national title at junior level in the motocross event at the age of 15.
[7] In 1999, two years later he attempted to break his own world record but he suffered severe complicated fractures due to a technical fault.
Pfeiffer first started using a BMW F800S in January 2006, and eventually transformed the S into an R model in order to lighten the weight of the bike and make it more suitable for motorcycle stunt riding.
[18] During his playing career, he worked alongside Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and skateboarder Tony Hawk.
