  • Sorry if i knew how to put links in i would of. Andreu lacondeguy posted on his instagram rip kelly, a few links in the comments section lead to several new zealand papers reporting on this but not confirmed. Looks to be him which is a shame.

    Looks like a heart attack, somewhat ironic considering the unbelievably scary stuff he did.

    He'd tweeted a picture of a his mangled motox bike the day before after coming off in 4th gear! I wouldn't be surprised if its linked? His backflip at the rampage was amazing.

    Kelly McGarry was one of the greatest freeriders.
    A few people have flipped the Rampage canyon but he did it first. Every run I have seen him do at Rampage was absolutely nuts, big tricks all the way down.
    His slopestyle competition runs were also incredible, just loads of big tricks done very well.

    A friend of mine died after crashing his motorbike into a motorway barrier. Cause of death was given as heart attack.

    Not for long, though.

    Of course, but it was a nice gesture nonetheless and at the end of the day, they are still a reasonably big business; the world doesn't stop just because Kelly McGarry did.
