We at ODI were fortunate to have been able to work with Kelly over the past few years and were ecstatic when Kelly approached us about doing an edit with his beloved dog Tui. After his tragic passing we were torn on what to do with this footage. Upon consulting those closest to him we decided that it was best to release this edit both as a fitting tribute to a great person and as a reminder to enjoy the ride of life.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have been inspired by Kelly or would like to help continue to support his passion for mountain biking, we would encourage you to visit and contribute to one of the following Trusts that were set-up in Kelly\u2019s honor. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/KellyMcGarry\">gofundme.com\/KellyMcGarry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/givealittle.co.nz\/org\/kellymcgarrymemorialtrust\">givealittle.co.nz\/org\/kellymcgarrymemorialtrust<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Funds collected will be used to fulfill his passion by \u201cadvocating for and building mountain bike trails in New Zealand and supporting emerging\/promising\/rising New Zealander mountain bikers in pursuit of achieving their goals domestically and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our hearts and thoughts go out to all those who knew Kelly. This is a tragic loss for the mountain bike community as for all those who knew and interacted with him. He will certainly be missed.
