gravity kids programs
From the first pedal stroke to the starting gate, Gravity MTB’s Kids Programs help young riders build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for mountain biking.

Whether it’s after school, during holidays, or all summer long, our goal is to help every kid ride stronger, safer, and with a bigger smile.
