It's believed the rider, who is aged in his 20s, had been attempting a jump from a ramp on a motocross track when he crashed.

The RACQ LifeFlight rescue critical care doctor and flight nurse met with local Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics to treat the patient for spinal injuries.

He was flown to the Brisbane LifeFlight base in a stable condition, before being transported to the Royal Brisbane Hospital by QAS ambulance.

The incident came just two days after another motorbike rider attempted a stunt, only to have to be flown to hospital.
