โถ๏ธ Gravity Youth โ Race Preparation โ๏ธ
Great session with these young rippers, exploring the 6 Pillars of Performance and what it really takes to prepare for race day! ๐ค
We used the recent Mini Enduro race loop at the Forest of Dean to break down the key elements of race craft, putting theory into practice on the trails.
Our Gravity Youth sessions go well beyond simply developing the technical skills needed to ride a race track.
We encourage young riders to start thinking about the bigger picture:
๐ง Technical โ Developing the skills to ride challenging terrain confidently and efficiently.
๐ง Tactical โ Race strategy, line choices, timing and decision-making.
๐ช Physical โ Understanding the fitness and endurance needed to perform.
๐ฏ Psychological โ Managing nerves, pressure, confidence and the mental demands of competition.
๐ฆ๏ธ Environmental โ Adapting to changing weather, trail conditions and race environments.
๐ต Equipment โ Bike setup, tyre choice, maintenance and getting the most from your kit.
Itโs about developing young riders who can think, plan, adapt and perform, rather than simply riding faster!
Massive effort from everyone involved. Some great discussions, smart decisions and plenty of quality riding. ๐
