Rider Profile: Jarrett Moore
Jarrett Moore and his new 2011 Rocky Mountain Flow
Jarrett Moore is Rocky Mountain's newest addition to the Freeride team, for the 2010 season Jarrett will be riding along side Geoff Gulevich and Dave Smutok. I recently had the opportunity to talk to Jarrett about his new bike, Rocky, and life in general, as well as taking some photos of the new whip.

-Let's start with the basics, who are you?
Jarrett Moore, I am 21 years old from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
-How Long Have you been riding for ?
I started riding down stairs when I was 4 years old, but got my first mountain bike when I was 12. So I guess I have been riding mountain bikes for the last 9 years.
-What got you into riding?
There is a suite in our house and one of the tenants was really into riding, so I guess he did. There were also some local dirt jumps very close by and an old riding spot called the dog park right behind my house which made riding easy. All my friends started riding as well, I guess it was the cool thing to do!
-How was the 2009 season, any big highlights for you?
The 2009 season was a lot of fun. I would say the What's Next Premier in Whistler was a huge highlight. I was on cloud nine that whole night. Goatstyle was also a lot of fun, riding under lights during Friday Night Lights was a super cool experience.
-Any Goals for this season?
Stay healthy and have fun.
-What inspires you to keep riding everyday?
That's a hard question to answer. I would say my inspiration changes all the time, but right now it's definitely trying to keep a leash on my buddy Wink Grant. He is killing mountain bikes right now and someone has to keep him in line haha.
-Dirt Jumps, or getting out on the mountain?
Why not both! Mountains in the morning and dirt jumps in the afternoon. I am on a mountain kick right now though, the trails on the island are prime this time of year.
- Any upcoming Island talent people should keep an eye out for.
Wink Grant and Luke Fulton
-What's currently getting a lot of play on your Ipod
Blakroc, their whole album is awesome. There are also a bunch of pop songs that I will leave out the specifics on...
-Any shout outs?
Rocky Mountain Bikes, Lavan Apparel, Nike 6.0 and Race Face Components!
Scott Seco, a Victoria based film maker, was also there taking some footage of Jarrett:

What's New About the Frame?
There are four main changes to the new frame. Personally, I am a big fan of having a lower front and that's one of the major changes to the 2011 Flow frame . Here are the four changes, straight from Alex Cogger at Rocky Mountain Bikes.
1.) Tapered head tube, for internal 1-1/8 lower race. Benefit: lower stack, stronger front end.
2.) New Geo (sloping TT). Benefit: greater stand over, more room for moves over the TT, cables out of the way.
3.) Seat stay / top tube / seat tube junction redone. Benefit: stronger, much stiffer laterally for off axis landings
4.) New seat tube and chain stay. Benefit: beefy chain stay for stiffness, smaller seat stay for some shock absorption.
Good Luck to Jarrett in to 2010 season!
