It looks like Kelly Mcgarry has died.
Just saw stuff on instagram from Andreu Lacaundaguy and Mike Clarke, no details but seens to be the case.
I saw the same, no details anywhere yet. Truly sad, seemingly a great guy and a real talent!
Oh Christ I hope this is not true.
Me too but I think it is. Its a sad day. He was awesome and well respected and well liked.
I have looked for more confirmation but nothing. Its only just appeared on instagram. I did spot a comment about a possible Moto crash but google will not provide any more info!

Sad days
Ah shit. That's terrible.
Loved his style, RIP
Sad news whoever it is, famous rider or everyday shreader
It looks like it's been a medical event.
Sounds like some sort of heart attack rather than a bad crash? Either way shit news, balls bigger than melons.
That's stink .
Thats what I read from it too. Medical event make me think of heart attack or something. Such a shame.
Bum, terrible news 🙁
Noooo. 🙁
What a damn shame, always seemed so full of life...
On Dirt's FB page... Thats a right shitter.
Remembering the good stuff

Shocking news.
Condolences to his friends and family, should they be reading this.
Bit dusty in here now.
sad news...he always seemed down to earth in his interviews and was always smiling even after a big crash
Terrible shame. Wonder if the cardiac arrest was related to him binning his moto in a fair big way (by his own account) the day before.
🙁
Bummer! RIP
Gutted. RIP Kelly,
Such a big character in the sport will certainly be missed.
Shit. RIP. McGarry was an amazing rider, always great to watch.
Really sad news. Condolences to his friends and family.
Sad news indeed. I read that it may have been a heart attack but not sure if it was the precursor to him crashing or a result of the crash. I hope for the sake of the sport it wasn't a trick gone wrong.
I feel sadder about this than any of the other high profile deaths 2016 has ushered in 🙁
Horrible news but serves as a reminder as to how extreme our sport can be,doesn't matter what level your at when it goes wrong it goes wrong quickly and the consquences can be very serious. But I love this sport to much.
RIP Kelly McGarry my thoughts are with your family at this sad times
Loved his lines, loved his bike smashing technique, loved his stupid hair and his infectious grin. Big shame.

Terrible news, condolences to the family and friends. So young, you really don't know when you can be taken from this world 🙁
fk it. Gutted. I had massive respect to him. They guy was harder than nails and immensely brave. I thought he was unbreakable.
He sat by us at a restaurant at Megavalanche 2014. Big lad and looked humble and friendly.
Terrible news, gutted. 🙁
Loved his style in all things. One of my favourite riders to watch.
RIP
Incredible rider. Rip.
🙁
Shocked when I heard this earlier 🙁 rip, legend!
Sad news indeed.
He dodged what would have been certain death for us mere mortals so many times persuing greatness - his annual rampage explosions of dust, that ridiculous china red bull sky gate ragdoll.
I assumed he would live forever!
Sad day. RIP
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. Incredibly sad and devastating news.
RIP KM
RIP
An amazing rider.
Thoughts go too his family and friends
Bad news...RIP and condolences to his nearest and dearest. Gutted
Says he was riding uphill and had a heart attack! RIP
RIP Kelly, thoughts go to his friends and family.
I met him at the NZ mega a couple of years ago, really down to earth and approachable, laughed at how his bike had 18 inches more suspension than mine that day, fond memories of such a man mountain, a truly sad day.
he was a real nice guy. always had time for you, would stop and have a yarn.
he'll leave a big hole in the queenstown bike community
