IN MEMORIAM: KELLY MCGARRY

Less typing, more biking!





Kelly McGarry (1982-2016)

One would exhaust a thesaurus searching for adjectives to describe Kelly McGarry. ‘’McGazza’’ has been the big friendly giant of freeride for the past decade and his affable presence, a staple of Crankworx and Rampage, was instantly identifiable by the golden mane sprouting from the bottom of his helmet. Kelly was a fan favourite for his massive backflips but it was his personality which endeared him to all who knew him. He was the type of man who befriended everyone he met. Constantly smiling, quick with a joke or a laugh, he was the ultimate ambassador for New Zealand and mountain biking in general. On Monday, February 1st, 2016 Kelly McGarry passed away, he was 33. Our thoughts are with Kelly’s friends, family, and loved ones in this time. The mountain bike community lost a brother today. Kelly, we'll miss you.
