Interview - Arthur Gaillot

curious why when asked to rate the suspension players he skipped Manitou for feedback yet theres a shot of him clearly riding a Dorado..

???

Arthur swept our FVMBA All Mountain Toonie Series this year. XC or Super D, he can rip. He was also one of only a handfull of guys that competed in the "One Bike to Rule them All" category. Racing every race on the same bike and dominating. To top it off, Arthur is the most humble and gracious winner you will ever encounter.

Great article. But I'm curious on one thing, why is the photo of Arthur on the rock roll rotated so much? It's obviously super steep, why exaggerate it by rotating it? The trees are almost at a 45 degree angle!

Jerry was just having some fun with perspective. Getting artsy - not trying to exaggerate the move - which as you note is not necessary.

Arthur was testing that for us.

scarthur! always in for as ride - lived with me for a summer and damn him for getting me in shape. his mom did buy me some nice wine, though, so all is forgiven.

all biking, all smiles, all the time. so if he is so easily accessible to hos clients, how's that done? do tell the masses cam

Fair enough. Looking forward to part 2!

More to come…

Arthur is a really good dude! Even if most of my rides with him around involve me hanging on for dear life at the back of the pack!

arthur's a close friend and main riding buddy for years.
interesting to see all the attention this year, its certainly warranted.
classy, humble, well-spoken, smart, driven.
still lots of untapped potential too, next year will be interesting.

Did I miss part 2?
