Kelly McGarry - Grip It and Whippet

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มี.ค. 2016
- Anyone lucky enough to interact with Kelly McGarry was instantly struck by his good natured personality and ability to make you feel like an old friend within minutes of meeting him. 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.
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’s honor.
www.gofundme.com/KellyMcGarry
givealittle.co.nz/org/kellymc...
Funds collected will be used to fulfill his passion by “advocating 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.”
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. RIP Mcgazza.
*Special Thanks to Paul Rayner for filming and editing this video and to Samantha for coordinating its release.

Beautiful! Rest in peace brother.
If I outlive my whippet please keep him company until I arrive. ❤
R.I.P. KELLY...May you slay the eternal downhill in Heaven.....the legend remains.
Ride In Peace! What a LEGEND!
After 5 Years U Got A comment
i watch this video over and over and over and it is the most bittersweet thing.
Came here because of our Whippet. Abslotutely loved the video. Then read what happnded. So sad.
Rip Kelly. Hope your dog is in good hands now.
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Diego Lukas Instablaster =)
@Gideon Walter Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Gideon Walter it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Diego Lukas happy to help :D
What an athlete tui is rip Kelly
Rest In Peace McGazza LEGEND😢
Like owner like dog😊😊😊😊😊 RIP Kelly
Textbook whippet -- lying under covers sleeping, out for a run, back home in bed -- all whippets are like this, awesome dogs -- I have 2 right now, best dogs around kids too -- RIP Kelly, hope your dog finds a new best mate.
the whippet is an extraordinary dog, I love him
I used to have a similar breed and I've never seen another dog express as much joy as she did whenever I'd grab that bike and the dog saw it.
Beautiful video. Rest In Peace
I'm staggered. I have no idea who Kelly is, but seeing how he interacts with Tui, and the obvious affection he has for this amazing animal... I'm just floored. It's clear Tui loved Kelly, too. What a cool legacy.
One of the gods of Mountain Biking lay'd low by an undiagnosed heart condition a few years ago. By all accounts a very nice guy and near mythic personality within the sport thanks to his talent on a bike. Check out his gorge jump at the red bull rampage on youtube - its everything you need to know about the guy really.
@@supereliptic Was always nice to me at winter park, Great trail builder, ambassador. Im sure the family , Friends, and Community miss him.
I have two whippets and I keep coming back to this film. Makes me so happy every time I see it. 2:50 is awesome - you can see how hyped the dog is to get going :) Such a fantastic representation of a whippet - sleep as long as they can, then go as fast as they can :) If anyone here is looking to get a dog, whippets are amazing. There are so many sighthounds or sighthound mixes out there to adopt - please consider it.
Absolutely agree with this, we adopted a whippet in January 2020 and it has been life changing. A true best friend for life, I’m not a MTB rider but she absolutely loves trail running with me almost as much as she loves snoozing 😂
I'd love a whippet but I don't have mountain biking skills like this guy. Will one still be happy to live with me if I can't run with it?
I am thinking of Italian Greyhound ❤ I live in a small Ap 😢
可以，不知道哪个颜色最好看呢？
@@joey_outdoors absolutely, they are the nicest dogs you can imagine. They love to stretch their legs off leash so as long as that's something you can let it do, go for it :)
That brought the biggest smile to my face...! R.I.P. my Brother Kelly McGarry...
i love this video
The Redbull rampage 2021 is here ,And competition is not the same without you, we miss you. You will forever be a legend . Ride In Peace Kelly .
Beautiful little edit, couldn't be more appropriate really. Someone doing what they love with their best friend
Wonderful Whippet.
the fanatic friendship you get from a whippet all the best from one man and his whippet adventures
für mich ist Kelly McGarry einer der sympathischten Biker und Mensch überhaupt gewesen. Er fährt bei mir immer im Kopf mit und ich trage seine Freude am Biken in meinem Herzen und gebe dieses Lebensgefühle gerne weiter. Ride in Peace my Friend
I watched this video when I was about 12 I was just getting into mountainbiking and I have always found my self coming back to this video when I need motivation or inspiration, today I am 15 and going on my first proper mtb ride with my whippet Ziggy !!! RIP Kelly, such an amazing man ✌🏼
legend
all that dust in the dog's eyes
what a beautiful relationship, whippets love exercise and this here is a perfect companionship. So sad to hear that kelly passed away, but not forgotten for sure. the happiness alone shared in this video is raw and powerful. I hope Tui found a new home with someone just as eager for the great outdoors.
Man that was awesome. Perfect video, had a smile on my face the entire time! Rip Legend and props to ODI for the great video.
Great Bond.
This brings a smile to my face, but then the end is bittersweet. Blessings to all of you. After my break up with my wife I was thinking about getting a whippet as a companion, and I love Mountain Biking. Now I see you can have both at the same time 🙂
I did exactly this. They are the best companions anyone could ask for. You could also look into adopting a greyhound
I got divorced 7 years ago and got my boy 3 months ago. Now realise that should have done both years earlier.
Love this video, our whippet runs after cyclist, after seeing this we need to get our bikes out, stuff the walking!!!! What an amazing guy, he certainly lived his life to the full, what an inspiration!!!!
Respect 👏👏👏👍👌💪🇫🇷
How can anyone dislike this
ride in paradise
Simply. The best..take care n be happy n healthy always
coolest dog ever. rip Kelly McGarry
What an awesome piece of film. I always knew whippets were my fave` dog breed on the planet, this confirms it. Epic dog running, and superb riding from Kelly the legend. Thanks so much for posting.
I LOVE this video
Ride in peace, Brother
I love how the whippet tries to copy the jumps the bike makes. The sheer joy they share is delightful.
who would dislike this
Very Beautiful
Awesome video! Go Tui!!!! I got a whippet abouts since a month or so ago. Love little Alfred (or Alfie, Alf, really any variation - even Al on occasion. He responds.) and I just have to say, I absolutely love this video and they are an AWESOME BREED!!!!!
The whippet is so cute
Peace love and light. Miss you Kelly I need met you but I'm so glad I have watched you change this globe with a grip on bars. Brendan Fairclough flipped the gap for you at rampage a few years ago, but you will always be the first to ever flip that gap in the history of man kind and MTB. thank you for raising the BAR and making this even and sport so awesome. tear drops for you man much love and respect. I am Greatfull to have seen you shine even from a distance .
Best way to be remembered.
Fabulous.
The Man, The Smile, The Dog. Big loss....
that is a hell of a dog!
génial !
The fact that Tui dog can keep up with Kelly . Dang!
Good doggy ! Kelly was Epic too !
Dogs are the best dogs
I took my whippet out the other day, her running, me on my new mtb. She's an old girl but she still did ten miles easily, could still drop a gear and leave me in her dust. Next time I'm taking out her and her daughter. Sighthounds, and whippets in particular, are the best.
THANK YOU to the guys who made this edit, that was probably hard, but this is beautiful !
Thank you Kelly for those moments, all the emotions and smiles you give to everybody ! Ride in peace
This must be one of my favourite videos on youtube! Beautiful!!
Shame he died
mine too
What a tribute and amazing work of art. Thank you for doing this.
I love this video
Great way to pay tribute to someone who had so much talent and an obvious love of life (and of course -Tui) … Thanks for sharing … ❤️👏🏽
Thank you for releasing this. Kelly was such an inspirational figure in so many ways. I've heard it said a heart as big as his surely couldn't last long. What a tragic, gut wrenching loss.
Bravo!!! I love Galgos.
Hope we can all agree that whippets are fast traildogs
R.I.P.
Dogs are dogs best friend
Fantastic, just so you know, Tui could have took you anytime hahaha, great vid
beautiful
cooooooool !!!
I hope Tui still gets to go for rides like that.
he does! if u look at kelly's gfs page u will see tui is still with her and she takes him on the trails still xx
Wow super small dog
I❤️🐺
Ride in Peace!!! Think all over the Time on it, that was an big MTB´ler with so much fun on Bike. Love too see him riding. Never forget him Mc Gazza
What a great, but sad video.. Kelly seemed like such a good guy. Btw, owning a whippet myself, I gotta say..best dog ever. Mountain biker and his whippet.. a man after my own heart. RIP, Kelly.
Simply amazing. Kelly, you're the lucky one now. You are no longer in the confinements of the flesh suit. You're now free in the deep throes of creation.
Genuinely brought both a smile to my face and a tear to my eye!
...of course Kelly would need a whippet for a trail dog, that thing is fast.
Ride on dude, ride on!
❤️
Never knew a whippet could run that far 👍👍👍
Awesome 💗💗
So great video, very beautiful complicity - RIP Kelly
What kind of person could give this a dislike? Not only one person but 7! That makes me sick. Everytime I think of Kelly I almost feel like crying and I'm 18. Absolute legend and I love his dog! RIP my bro
BobaFett MTB 25 now!!!!
Such a fun video💕💕💕
why would ANYONE thumbs down this.. I do want to know HOW you trained him to not jump up on bike at speed! If I got on a horse, bike, whatever, my Whippet wanted up!
My "go to" video clip when I need cheering up. Thanks for sharing.
😪 Desde Madrid, españa, triste y sorprendido. Una pena, estés donde estés, te llevare en mi corazón. Hasta siempre kelly.
Downhill & Freeride never be the same whinout you.
Poor odi must mis his buddy..but rest in peace mate!!
that dog loved him
Good looking dog
I watch this video at least once a year. Always brings a tear to my eye remembering Kelly is gone and my own Whippet Flower passed a few years ago. From all you hear Kelly was an amazing personality just as whippets are amazing dogs.
So sad I picked up mountainbiking too late and never shared it with my Whippet, she would have been an amazing traildog. ❤❤❤
They absolutely love to run with their owners. Every time I'd grab that bike it was as if she hadn't seen me in a whole year and I just showed up. Just excitement!
@@CoinCentrado i can imagine. 😁 I didnt have the chance to bike with my Whippet, but my Pharaoh Hound loves MTBing. I only need to pick up a single piece of equipment and she knows what's up. 🐕❤🚵♂️
you are a daredevil, and you dog is badass.
Such a great video of a man and his dog doing what they love to do in life, shred! RIP Kelly.
Les whippets sont mes chiens préférés.
Such a great video - as a dog lover, it made me cry. Hearing that music was just perfect, Small Town Get Up doing "Found A Reason" and "Dometree" (which is a truly awesome chill tune). I checked out more of the band's music, and their songs all sound like something Kelly would have been listening to whilst barrelling down those courses that I know I would have probably really hurt myself on. I've downloaded them, and will be listening to them the next time I go down less threatening paths. RIP, Kelly, and thanks for the great support for our sport.
😭😢😟 kelly Mcgarry . Que tristeza perder esse cara.
Awesome
I love the video * * * * *
Che meraviglia 💞💞💞💞💞
I feel so bad for Tui. She had an awesome doggy dad who obviously loved her a lot.
this special bond! Ride unlimited
RIP fella, great video, hope the pooch still gets to run the trails!
Way cool video. Nice respectful tribute.
Good guy and cute little dog - faster than a Blitz. A shame we won't see more of this combo.
I can't count the number of times I have watched this. It brings me smiles and tears to my eyes. I have never met Kelly, but wish I had the chance to meet with such a kind person. It inspired me to find out more about McGazza. Though he was a super talented MTBer, the effect he had on those close to him leaves me in awe. It is the kind of person I want to be to both myself and how I treat the people around me.
Kelly, we walked very different lives, but we share our love of bikes and Whippets. In my book, that makes us bros. Thank you for burning so brightly and reminding us to enjoy the ride of life. It has definitely made me take a step back and remember what is really important and to stop being so selfish, anxious and getting down about stuff that really doesn't matter.
Love and hugs from my family and our Whippet Duke to your family, Sam and little Tui Dog. Our prayers are with you!
if there were the right words then there are your! written really nice
There was a Welsh Skater champ who was similarly a great genuine kind person who died way too young [Rich Taylor] These good people so modest too. Kelly had courage aplenty, a Nurse I knew was very upset about a young man [18yrs] who was super fit, slim, muscly, rugby player, who collapsed on the rugby field with a cardiac arrest...he too died despite best efforts ..hidden cardiac probs are rare, but can exist..maybe all young people who do arduous sports should get checked out?
So cute :)
