Clinton Moore grew up on a small farm in Bundaberg, a town located on the east coast of Australia. Like most of the other famous riders from Down Under, the 23-year-old started riding a dirtbike as a little kid, using the acres of terrain around the farm to develop his bike skills before finally deciding that his goal in life would be to become a pro FMX rider.

Moore originally got into the sport through his big sister’s boyfriend, who lent him a few classic freestyle motocross DVDs, and aged 15 he decided to go for the backflip – after all, he already had all other tricks dialled in. His first attempt didn’t quite work out, and an under-rotated flip would end up sending the teenager to hospital with two broken arms. So what did Clinton do? He came back a few months later and nailed it.

The young Aussie’s profession as a qualified escavator driver seems to be the perfect match for his love of FMX, and with a six-acre compound including a foampit, a few ramps and dirt kickers to get old tricks dialled and learn new ones Clinton certainly isn’t short on opportunities to practise his dirt-pushing skills.

Traveling to Madrid for the Red Bull X-Fighters in July was the first step on the way to becoming a Qantas Frequent Flyer in record time, as a few days later he had to be in LA for the first practise session of X-Games 16, before returning home for a few days to see his girl and the two kids.

With his appearance at the Red Bull X-Fighters in London 2010, Clinton completed the final leg of his "Triple X Tour", throwing down more then one Volt during the weekend to fire up the British crowd as just like he did with his home fans during the Nitro Circus Tour. 

Clinton should be ready for the season opener of the 2011 Tour after a full Nitro Circus Tour in New Zealand, so get ready for the high voltage Aussie....
