Gravity

Roanoke Valley Gravity

The Development team will focus on building skills for downhill riding in a race environment. Skills will include things such as bike setup, posture, and learning line choice.

In addition to the skills noted above the Race team will focus on integration of these skills into a race environment as well as more advanced downhill riding. The goal will be for riders to feel prepared to compete at the scheduled events with competence and confidence.

Riders on both teams are welcome and encouraged to compete in as many races as they want. We will have full race support for any RVG rider regardless of Race or Devo. Race weekends are comprised of 3 days. Friday practice, Saturday track walk, Saturday practice, and Sunday Race Day. Parents interested in the RVG team will need to plan travel and lodging accordingly. Downhill racing requires minimum requirements for bike and safety gear.

Our minimum Bike requirement is 140mm front and rear full suspension. Head tube angle will need to be evaluated on any trail bike submitted. These rules are for rider safety as well as to stay within requirements for DHSE.
