April 27, 2018

Friends show appreciation by putting on the event to carry out his legacy.

Mourners paid tribute to Johnny Danger last night, holding a memorial ride after the amateur stuntman killed in a motorbike crash on Anzac Day.

Police yesterday officially confirmed it was 29-year-old Johnny Kerry Bennett from Takapuna who died in a motorcycle crash on Dairy Flat Highway near Lucas Heights, Albany on the afternoon of April 25.

The memorial motorcycle ride left from Auckland's Quay St, tracing Johnny Danger's final journey to the site where he died.

Steven Bennet shares a few heartfelt words.

"I'm just blessed everyone turned up and showed their respects," brother Steven Bennett said. 

"He's gone, but never forgotten."

Memorial Ride organiser James Inder told 1 NEWS, Johnny Danger had been a "huge inspiration to a lot of people". 

'Lukesmithfmx' posted video on Instagram today of motorcyclists doing burnouts, surrounding themselves in smoke in the process.

"Today we gave my brother and partner in yambo bikes @johnnydanger_nz the send off he would have wanted and been so proud of," he wrote with his post. 

"Will miss you so so much but I promise you as I said today when I saw you I will keep this dream alive and take @yambobikes where we wanted it to go."

The 'Danger Swig' was the Kiwi comedian's signature drinking move performed by many celebrities including Sir John Key.

Alongside the video of a large group of motorcyclists riding, he wrote: "Giving my bro a send off to never forget."

Danger died after crashing during an Anzac Day tour of the Auckland region.

Bennett was a well-known stuntman with a following of over 290,000 on Facebook.
