Watch pro mountain bikers and best mates Kelly McGarry and Jeremy Lyttle have the downhill ride of their lives in the Himalayas from 18,380 feet. Best known for his breath-taking downhill footage escalating in a flip over a 72-foot-long canyon gap at Red Bull Rampage 2013, Kelly McGarry does not shy away from extremes. So with the M-Class we took him and fellow rider Jeremy Lyttle to the highest and most remote place they have ever been to: Khardung La – the supposedly highest vehicle-accessible mountain pass in the world at 18,380 feet (5,602 m) and let them have the downhill ride of their lives.
