Welcome to the first ever Gravity School Racing Newsletter! We will be keeping you up to date and informed on all the things happening with our Race Team, Coaching Camps, Holidays and more.
Introducing our new Race Track: "Through the V"
Our team picked up some tools and helped to develop a brand new track at our Racing Centre alongside our partner, Trail Tools. You can see how the team got on with our first race of the season in Episode 2 of Finding Speed at 6pm tonight. Make sure you're subscribed!
Finding Speed returns for Season 2
We thought Season One was so good that we're doing it again, but bigger, better and more dramatic. We have some really exciting riders primed for race season, so make sure you're following the series for the 2025 Season
Here at Gravity School Racing we are excited to announce the launch of our new and improved race team for 2025. Boasting 13 riders from 3 different countries, and covering all racing categories from juvenile to elite, we’re ready to go! To see the full line up check out our Instagram page where the riders have all posted their individual rider videos from our recent team camp, at the Racing Centre in Portugal. Shout out to our riders that suffered injuries during the camp and we wish them a speedy recovery!
Talking of the Racing Centre, we have just finished the first team camp here, where riders spent 10 days training their bike skills and race craft, as well as having a lot of fun. We even built a full brand-new track for the guys to simulate a race weekend at the end of the camp. The track was fast and rough, included lots of different features such as rock gardens, off camber sections, jumps and berms. Check out Finding Speed season 2, produced by Loamlife Media, and the first two episodes of the 2025 series, showcasing all the action from our first team camp of 2025.
We have upcoming opportunities for riders to visit the Racing Centre in Portugal and to ride our new and existing tracks on either our coaching camps or our new more affordable option, an uplifted riding holiday. The first of these opportunities is February 18th to February 25th and anyone wanting to join this camp should get in touch soon before the final places are all gone.
In March we kick off our exciting race coaching camps, back for another season. These add our bespoke coaching experience at the Racing Centre, with a Portugal Cup downhill race. Camp 3 will see riders race the first round of IXS European Downhill Cup, which takes place only 30 minutes away from the racing centre – this one could be our most popular camp yet!
We have 5 of these camps taking us to the end of April, and the final one sees us travel to the volcanic Island of the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This camp was a rider favourite in 2024 and with only 2 places left for this one, people should be quick to book in before they miss out. See the Racing Centre Portugal page of the website for all the details about our 2025 camps.
In the UK, the coaching school has limited availability for race coaching sessions at the Compound until the end of March, on the following dates;
9th February
16th February
9th March
Anyone wanting mid-week sessions can contact us directly to arrange these sessions.
