Shawn Moore

Shawn has been mountain biking long enough to remember when suspension forks were the hot new upgrade and v-brakes were an amazing improvement in braking power. Whether it’s working with kids on his NICA team or helping adults work on their skills, his greatest love is sharing the radness of mountain biking with everyone he can. While he loves the gnar of his home trails in the hidden Pisgah of Northwest NC, Shawn enjoys riding anything he hasn’t ridden yet!

Momentum is your friend

Favorite Riding Partner

My wife, Golden, who has been dropping me on climbs for decades. My son, Owen, who pushes me way outside my comfort zone at bike parks and dirt jumps. My dog, Mac, who just loves a good trail.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

I would live in my van so I could explore riding everywhere in North and South America.
