Youth and young adult gravity mountain bike team
Trestle Gravity Team
The Trestle Gravity Team is designed for downhill biking athletes and enthusiasts who would like to take their riding skills to the next level. Our coaches have many years of experience and are passionate about helping riders reach their full potential on and off the mountain. The team is for those who would like to enhance their downhill biking skills and learn all elements of the sport, including bike maintenance. With coach recommendation, participants may compete in gravity racing.
Riders ages 15 and under may enter the Battle of the Grommets™ Gravity races, while the Trestle Gravity Series offers more advanced riders of all ages a fun yet more challenging race experience.
2023 PROGRAM UPDATE:
Trestle Bike Park announced it is delaying the opening of the Bike Park.
How will this impact your Session?
Since an opening day has not been announced, we have decided to delay our start date by one week. The new Session 1 start date will be on the weekend of June 30-July 2 and will finish one week later on August 11-13.
If you are registered for Sessions 1 & 2, you will still ride with the Team the same number of times, but one of the days will be a “bonus day.” To schedule your “bonus day,” simply pick a day, in advance, you do not regularly ride with the Team and let the Program Director know you are coming by emailing Trip at twhittenburg@winterparkresort.com.
We ask that you give the Team at least a week’s notice so we are sure to have enough coaches.
