Coaching Clinics

Gravity Nelson Ltd is excited to offer excellent value for money half-day coaching clinics for individuals or small groups.

Our coaching philosophy revolves around working with you to tailor the course to your needs, to the skills you want to develop or the trail problems you want to solve. For people to focus on technique it is usually helpful to strip out fear and risk that might exist on harder tracks, and often the stress of harder trails makes it harder to learn. We focus on the building blocks solidly before getting into anything with higher risk.

We don’t have a fixed curriculum, the course evolves dynamically based on your interests, your level, and your progress. We focus on PROGRESSION in a supportive, safe, and fun environment.

Mountain bike Coaching and clinics

Cornering coaching on Crazy Horse in Codgers, Nelson

Although we can, and do, offer all levels of coaching from beginner to advanced, we focus on coaching on Grade 3 or less trails (although we can go to harder trails by request on subsequent sessions), or on our own private track and drop zone (the “Field of Dreams”). By doing this we can remove much of the risk, fear and nerves that higher grade trails invoke, yet still teach you the skills necessary to go back and tackle harder trails.

Our pricing is aimed to encourage you to do sessions regularly, just as you need to maintain and upgrade your bike on a regular basis… we believe you should do the same with your skills, and as such we want session prices to be accessible.  We believe that once you do one of our courses you will be keen to do another one, perhaps one every month or two as you build your skills, upgrade your confidence, and advance your techniques.

Gravity Nelson Coaching Clinics

Coaching clinics on Nelson’s fantastic trail network

We have a fixed rate of NZ$199 for one or two participants. That is TOTAL, not each.  For every participant beyond the second we charge $75 each.  In winter we offer reduced bike rental rates if you would prefer to use our bike rather than your own. We are flexible about where we hold sessions, and flexible about times.

Our private “Field of Dreams” facility has a wide variety of drops, jumps, and trail features you can practice and train on.

We will soon be uploading an online booking engine so you can request coaching slots, but in the meantime it is probably best to phone us or chat to us via Facebook chat.

We look forward to hearing from you.

    Great shop and great guys

    5 star coaching session
