Kelly died suddenly February 1st of Cardiac Arrest while doing a photoshoot on one of his hometown trails in NZ. He was a personal source of inspiration, being the tallest (by far) slopestyle competitor at 6'5.

If you don't know who he was, Kelly was an amazing freeride MTBer who broke through the scene with his backflip @ Rampage 2013:

Looks like he did a lot of living in his time but still way too young. Haven't been following a lot of the newer slope style riders, but 6"5? Wow.
