It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we, along with the Moto community, mourn the sudden passing of Chris “Dang” McAvoy. Dang was not only a remarkable individual but also a beloved figure in the industry. His contributions to the motocross community and his infectious spirit will forever be remembered.

With his exceptional leadership skills and unwavering dedication, he played a pivotal role in guiding the team to victory in the 2008 250 West Region Supercross Championship. His commitment to excellence and passion for the sport was evident in every aspect of his work. Even after the Yamaha of Troy team disbanded, Dang continued to make significant contributions to various teams and brands within the industry, including his most recent role of District Sales Manager, PG&A for KTM Corporation, where he left a lasting impact. Dang’s professionalism, integrity, and enthusiasm touched the lives of countless individuals throughout his career.
