So sorry to hear the news, really sad day for the sport. I've known Sharky and family since before I can remember when we were all young kids, so let's hope his family and wife can stay strong and enjoy the great memories that they had together. Godspeed, Andrew.

very upsetting to hear things like this R.I.P sharky

This is aweful news, i havent heard any details of how it happened yet but regardless, it is just bloody tragic news. thoughs go to him and his family. godspeed mate. watch down on all of us.

From what ive been informed he got abit cross rutted and then tangled up with another rider causing him to go down hard. Unfortunetly even with medical attention he was unable to regain conciousness and sadly passed away at the track

i heard that he took a tabletop a bit wrong there or something? either way... man... no good at all. leats he went doing what he loved hey.

I'm not certain how it happened and I guess it doesn't really matter now either, however I'm pretty sure it was a single bike accident with no other riders involved. If one thing is for sure, the Racesafe medical crew would have done all they could to assist following the accident.

Yeah they did what they could was close to an hour of non stop resusitation and giving as much medical help as possible but his injuries were just to severe

terrible to hear that another great rider is now at the big starting gate in the sky, makes me think just how lucky cam sinclair was but just how quickly it can happen my thoughts go out to his family and friends. he will be missed.

the other bike I believe was Mall Cash, and I would like to commend him on his actions. this rider stopped his bike in between Andrew and the on coming bikes to protect him from any further danger.....your actions made it possible for help to attend Andrew as soon as it arrived. great effort to protect a competitor and a friend ....

Tragic news, Condolences to thr McFarlane family and also to all his friends in the motocross community.

This is indeed a tragic loss for our sport and an even greater loss to the McFarlane family.

I have started a thread on VitalMX posting images of Sharky to celebrate his racing career. Check out vitalmx.com then go to forum, then "moto related" and the thread is at the top of the page.

I was having a look at that the other day, nice one mate! Some good shots in there.

Sadly, i was at broadford last sunday & witnessed Andrews crash. It was a single bike crash which happens all the time & generally riders get up from a bit sore & sorry, but on this occasion he didn't. Mal Cash was the other rider that placed his bike across the track at the base of the landing ramp in an effort to protect Andrews body & to warn others. He should be proud of his efforts.
It was a pretty depressing day all up & Andrews legacy to the Australian MX community should not be forgotton.
