Yesterdayโs DJ sesh and Jump Jam was amazing!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support our local jump park!
We raised $845.00 ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
And the best news, the village of Cumberland has offered to MATCH the donations we raised!!
Thatโs almost $1,700 ๐ค๐ผ
Weโre feeling very thankful for our community
and the passion for bikes!
We have to make a shout out to the coaches who came out yesterday as well!

Hey South Islanders! ๐ค๐ผ
Gravity MTB is headed to Tzouhalem for a couple weekends next month, and weโre super excited to open registration for two new programs! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Cowichan Gravity Kids! AND
Cowichan Adult Co-Ed
Progression Sessions! ๐๐ค๐ผ
2- 2hr camps on October 3rd and 10th.
The kids camps are aimed at intermediate riders, from 9am-11am.
The adult sessions are geared towards intermediates as well and will follow up from 1pm-3pm.
Weโre stoked to offer a few sessions in another rad riding network. โค๏ธ
Weโve had participants travel from all over the island to come ride Cumberland with us.
With some interest it seemed about time that we come to you! ๐๐๐ผ

Weโre pretty excited to share some fun news about Gravity athletes Devin and Brittany
โค๏ธ๐ค๐ผ
In the last couple weeks weโve set them up with a young local shredder.
Devin will be riding with Cumby local Ethan Jamieson, and Brittany with Nanaimo BMX star Piper Graaten.
Mentorship is a subject thatโs been coming up again and again in cycling.
We think itโs because thereโs something to be said for riding your bike with someone you can relate to.
But also that sometimes riding your bike isnโt about getting coaching, itโs just about having someone to listen to you. โค๏ธ
And if that person can motivate you to push a little harder, ride a little further, and jump a little higher.
Then thatโs rad! ๐ค๐ผโค๏ธ
Do you know a young grom in need of a big trail buddy?
Send us an email!

What a truly epic experience this Euro-trip has been! ๐ค๐ผ๐
Full of highs and lows, but thatโs racing!
Weโre so proud of how the team has performed at both World Champs ๐
and the World Cup here in Lenzerheide.
Weโve learned a lot, had a ton of fun and weโll be coming home stoked.
Because this is just the beginning! ๐ค๐ผ๐จ๐ฆ
Thank you to our sponsors and supporters back home! โค๏ธ
It goes without saying that we wouldnโt be here without you!

Gravity Girls Ride! ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
Itโs a new club ride, that our long standing Girls Club program will feed into. ๐ค๐ผ
For the last few years weโve had Girls Club.
A weekly program for girls ages 6-8 and 9-12.
A program where girls that are just starting to ride away from their families can have the opportunity to ride with older female athletes โค๏ธ
Now weโre excited to offer this new program for intermediate female teenage riders.
Thereโs always been a gap for females in sport this age.
Making it more difficult to stay active and enjoy sport long term.
These girls rides are focused on tactical trail riding, mentorship with older female athletes and having FUN on your bike with girls your own age!! ๐๐ผ
Whatโs better than that?!
The Gravity Girls Ride is every Monday 4:30-6:30
Ages 13-17
Come ride with us! โค๏ธ๐ค๐ผ๐

๐๐ค๐ผ๐
These kids are absolute senders!
This weekend was a total blast ๐ค๐ผ
Thereโs a lot of talent in our neck of the woods, and weโre stoked to be apart of it!
Congratulations to all the kids who came out and pushed themselves and progressed this weekend.
Itโs so rad to see! And as always thanks to the coaches for making it happen, and for only getting a few flats ๐๐๐ผ

You can also expect a few more mentorship programs to be popping up over the next few weeks!
Pretty exciting ๐๐ผโค๏ธโญ๏ธ

Thatโs a wrap on our Ladies Intro to riding for this season!
๐๐๐ผ
Itโs always a great time when you meet new riding friends, work on your skills and then take those new skills to the trail for the first time! ๐๐ผ
Itโs so proactive to reach out for coaching when you first start riding. Starting fresh with good technique instead of breaking bad habits.
Itโs interesting how many people join a team or take lessons for hockey, or soccer but donโt always think to take lessons for something as high risk as mountain biking!
Weโre stoked to be apart of the journey for all these women discovering riding as adults! Itโs rad! ๐ค๐ผ
And better late than never! ๐๐๐ผ
#gravitymtbladies #ferdagirls #introtoriding #cumberland #mtbbc #mtbcoaching #gravitymtb
