Our Intro to Gravity & Flow Session is a 3-hour session of lessons on a gravity enduro tracks with an experienced, globally accredited mountain bike instructor who also has many years of experience in downhill racing. The session has very limited places in order to better facilitate participant experience and learning, as well as risk management. The Intro to Gravity & Flow Session will concentrate on the foundation skills required to safely and efficiently negotiate a gravity enduro track.

Our Intro Session is approx. 3 hours in length give or take.
This is a group session for people from 10 yrs old and up and may have up to 6 riders maximum. 

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Our Gravity Session is all about helping you to develop and practice more advanced downhill skills so you can not only confidently ride gravity enduro trails but also take your gravity enduro racing more seriously, if that’s your goal.

Skills learned will include:

• Body position
• Advanced cornering quickly on flat turns and berms
• Flowing over rocks and rocky descents
• Drops & rollovers
• Line choice & trail awareness
• Bike handling for more speed
• Small jumps/wheel lifts/hopping/pumping/tabletops
• Race skills
• Location-specific manoeuvres

Note: Session and program content may be altered at the coaches discretion for reasons of safety, weather, to better cater for the riders or other requirements.

IS THIS FOR ME?

I’ve started riding gravity enduro but…
“I need to learn to tackle some more challenging trail features.”
“I can’t get speed or smoothness over rocks.”
“I can’t roll over or even leap off the drops and stuff well.”
“I’m slow downhill.”
“I lose my front grip when I try to push hard through corners”
“I often accidentally hit trees, banks, other riders and Ewoks.”
“Tabletops and jumps worry me”

If any of these statements sound like you then perhaps our Gravity Session is for you.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Mountain Bike – Your mountain bike will need to be suited to gravity enduro/advanced cross country riding and fitted with mountain bike tyres also suited to rough terrain. We strongly suggest using a tyre with an aggressive tread pattern and a minimum width of 2.3 inches. 2.5-2.8 is more common. Lightweight cross country, touring or semi-slick tyres are not suitable.
  Although a hardtail bike can be used, by far the most popular choices for gravity enduro are bikes of between 130 – 170mm full suspension travel and head tube angles between 67-64 degrees.
  If you are unsure about any of this, please ask.
  We do ask that, to the best of your ability, that you try to ensure your bike is in good working and properly set up for your body shape and weight prior to the class. We cannot hold the class up to aid mechanical repairs.
• Full Face Helmet (compulsory) – Full face helmets are used for gravity enduro events for good reason. You only have one head and face. You are required to wear a correctly fitting, Australian approved MTB full-face helmet during all sessions.
• Dropper Post (optional) – Although not compulsory, having a dropper post on your bike is an advantage for some intermediate and advanced skills. If you don’t have a dropper post, we strongly advise setting your seat height to a low height for riding a gravity enduro trail. You can talk to our instructors prior to the class beginning about this if you need.
• Elbow & Knee Pads (compulsory) – All students will be required to wear extra protection in the form of hard or soft shell pads on both knees and elbows. You not only gain the protection but also the confidence that comes from knowing you have the protection.
• Body Armour (optional) – If you own any sort of body armour then feel free to wear it. Protective gear is useless when you are crashing and it’s sitting in a closet at home.
