Gravity Group Coaching
Head for the Hills has a suite of programs specifically designed to help you develop your descending skills, enabling you to get down hills faster, safer and with more style! These programs are ideal for downhill and gravity enduro riders, racers and weekend warriors. They are also a great way to sharpen up your skills on the cross country bike.
There are currently three programs offered for Intermediate and Advanced riders. We highly recommend completing all three in sequence, regardless of your ability level. This will give you an opportunity to adopt and familiarise yourself with fundamental techniques that will be assumed knowledge in subsequent programs.
All programs include shuttles!
