With our respected and encouraging female coaches, you’ll elevate your riding skills in a supportive environment with fellow riders. Some prior gravity mountain biking experience is required to join this empowering clinic!

Ability Levels

The Gravity Girls program has beginner, intermediate & advanced levels.

Beginner

The beginner is tailored for riders eager to learn the fundamentals of gravity riding in a safe, supportive environment. Using beginner-friendly trails like Easy Rider and Sidewinder, participants will work with instructors to master skills such as body position, braking control, and gear selection. The goal is to build confidence and prepare for intermediate trails like Ricochet, Kosciuszko Flow, and Paparazzi. While some off-road riding experience is helpful, this group welcomes all aspiring female riders.

Intermediate

The intermediate group is designed for riders looking to improve their technique, build confidence, and gain an introduction to more advanced trails and features. Participants will work with instructors to perfect cornering, make line choices, increase speed through rough terrain, and develop jump and drop skills. The group aims to prepare riders for tackling challenging trails like the Cannonball Downhill. Riders should already be confident on Sidewinder and the Kosciuszko Flow Trail.

Advanced

The advanced group is for experienced riders ready to elevate their skills. Participants will work with expert coaches on advanced techniques, including cornering, line selection, and navigating technical features. Focused on enhancing skills for jumps, drops, and steep descents, this group builds confidence for tackling the most challenging trails. Riders should be proficient on advanced trails to join.
