Hey South Islanders ๐ค๐ป
Gravity MTB is hosting another 2-day Progression Session clinic for Adults in November at Mt Tzouhalem with Coach Vance ๐ค๐ป
Vance is our Director of Cowichan programs and will be heading up heaps of programs for both gravity kids and adults in the Spring.
We are so excited to be offering clinics down island!
Vance has a long history of coaching and riding bikes. Like most kids he started cruising the neighbourhood looking for jumps and trails. This lead to BMX racing then to CX racing. Thankfully with innovation, going down on a bike became the best part so Vance kept riding through the freeride era and still loves an old school rock roll or skinny as much as a flow trail or bike park.
Vance lives in the Cowichan Valley and continues to coach, ride, build trails and enjoy the amazing mtb riding the area has to offer with his friends and family.
Youโll be seeing a lot of more of Vance soon so be sure to say hi on the trails ๐๐ป๐
The November clinic is open for registration.
To register or for more info email ridewithus@gravitymtb.ca
Dates: Nov 7th & 14th
Times: 12pm-2pm
This clinic is for a beginner intermediate to intermediate level rider. Learn skills to get onto more challenging trails and features at Mt Tzouhalem!
You wonโt regret it! ๐ค๐ผ

Meet Pam!
Pam has been coaching mountain biking for over 12 years! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Coaching all over Western Canada, the US, and Whistlaa ๐ค๐ผ
Pam admits she loves to explore the trails right here in her own backyard best and weโre so stoked to have her join the Gravity MTB Team!
Last weekend she had FULL sessions in the new @jordielunnbikepark and weโre pumped to see her in there again this weekend!
Weโre stoked to have Pam on board our South Island team.
The crew has plans too for some spring clinics at Tzouhalem. Some ladies clinics and of course Pam is always around for private lessons! ๐ฅ๐๐ผ
The team just keeps growing and we are ecstatic! โค๏ธ
The bike stoke on the island is amazing.
Weโre so grateful to be apart of it! ๐๐ค๐ผ

Everything is going to be okay โค๏ธ
Our friend Brittany is in hospital for about another 7-10 days. Sheโs been through a lot to say the least and has a long road to recovery. There is a Go Fund Me page that has been set up and if you would like to help support, check the link in our bio.

Our good friend, coach and team rider @brittfalconer hit the deck hard today at the Stevie Smith Bike Park in Nanaimo.
She will be spending a couple nights in the hospital in Victoria. We are wishing her a super strong and speedy recovery.
Help us spread the good vibes on this holiday weekend and send some BIG โค๏ธ to Brittany.

Thatโs a wrap on our ladies programs this season! ๐๐ค๐ผ
Thank you to everyone who came out to ride with us ๐ฅฐ
So many rad ladies from all over BC came out to ride, and quite a few repeat riders!
That gets us so stoked!
The progress of female ridership within the sport, and the inclusivity is inspiring!
Everything from girls on their first pedal bikes right up to 70 year old women sending the orange peels drops!
We saw it all! ๐ค๐ผ
What a rad 2021 season!!
And a big final thank you to our ladies coaches and sponsors this season!
We couldnโt have done it without youโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Keep your eyes on the webpage
Ladies programs coming to the South Island!
#gravitymtbladies #gravitymtb #cumberland #mtbbc #ferdagirls #ladiesmtb #mtbcoach
All time, fall time out there ๐
Conditions couldnโt be better!
However, the Ranger fully seam-sealed mountain bike jacket definitely makes the ride more enjoyable (and significantly warmer! )๐ฅ๐๐ผ๐
Check out their Fire pant and be kitted for the off-season, even though you donโt really take one ๐

Thatโs a wrap on our womenโs progression sessions, we had a blast and got to end the night with beers and prizes around the fire ๐ฅ โค๏ธ๐ค๐ผ
The 2021 season is coming to an end and our LAST womenโs Cumberland weekend of the season is this weekend.

Our ladies clinic are one of our favourite programs to offer. Weโre so stoked to be offering ladies JUMP and DROP clinics at the @jordielunnbikepark and
Ladies clinics at Mt.Tzouhalem in 2022!!
Weโre also super stoked to be bringing some mechanics sessions to our womenโs clinics! ๐ง
Thatโs right!
During your weekend sessions with us in 2022 weโre going to teach you some helpful skills like how to change a flat, dial in your cockpit, and some trail side tips and tricks! ๐ช๐ผโค๏ธ
Huge thank you to @vibrewing for sponsoring our womenโs clinics with such yummy brews this season! ๐ปโค๏ธ
Itโs the best way to wrap up a fun ride with new friends!
Tried and tested! ๐

Thatโs almost $1,700 ๐ค๐ผ
Weโre feeling very thankful for our community

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

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
