KIWIS KILL IT AT OUT OF BOUNDS FESTIVAL
As the World Cup rolled out of Leogang the Out of Bounds festival rolled in. Bringing with it the world’s best freeriders to duke it out at the 26TRIX Slopestyle comp and half of the world’s best downhillers who stuck around for the latest round of the iXS Downhill series. A solid contingent of Kiwis remained and it was Justin Leov who took the win over Evil rider Stevie Smith. Kelly McGarry wasn’t pre-qualified for 26TRIX so had to compete in the pre quals where he finished 4th and made the cut for the 16 man final where he finished 11th overall. Check Kelly’s blog for his writeup on the event and check the below press release for a writeup on the whole event. READ MORE

“The weekend turned for the worst when our car got broken into and my passport/wallet/phone /GPS/clothes/ vid camera/laptop etc etc got stolen! I was super bummed but I was glad they didn’t steal my bikes! We had to head to Paris to get me an Emergency Passport. Which is where I am right now!”
