RIDER DEVELOPMENT WEEKEND

Let’s Go Enduro!

Gain insights from some of WA’s best mountain bikers and coaches.

Practise trail line choices and see how your times change using our timing system with multiple attempts.

WA Gravity Enduro Rider Development Weekend aiming to share insights and growth opportunities for all riders.

This will be a great preliminary event to become more familiar with the Wambenger Trails at Wellington Dam, Collie just in time for National Competition!

During entry, select your preferred day and time and we will pair you up with riders of similar abilities. Depending on the grouping of riders, you will be assigned a coach and taken to a suitable trail for training. For example, U15’s may ride on over to Black Glove, whereas Masters Men may be shuttled over to Honeymoon Pool Trails.

Entries include one coaching session. If you would like multiple coaching sessions, please email steve@wagravityenduro.org or if slots are availabe on the day, day payment is acceptable.

In previous events, we have found that a 2 hour session is suitable for riders to get some great ideas on how to be a better mountain biker!

Bringing it together

"

Organisation

Time required to bring together all facets of the Event.

Advertising

Facebook advertising, video reels and highlights, maps, website design, signage, Instagram feeds, YouTube clips take time and fees.

Sign-posted and Bunted Course

Arriving early to setup the course. This usually involves multiple people over hours or days ensuring bunting, signage and timing equipment are in place for easy navigation and fair racing.

Event Health Services

Your Entry Fee covers St John Ambulance Services being on-site for both Saturday and Sunday. We typically employ 4 x Technicians and engage with St John months in advance

Toilets

Typically, our Events exceed the venue existing facilities. Regional Services are engaged months in advance to deliver toilets. Hire costs continue to grow as Waste Management Fees continue to increase.

Race Village

It takes time to design the Race Village to enable our awesome Sponsors to arrive and setup in suitable locations to suite their needs. Careful attention to Parking, Pedestrians and Riders is needed for the safe and accessible movement of all attendees and event crew.

Applications and Insurances

Typically, several Stakeholders need to be engaged months in advance of any Event. We liaise with Local Governments, State Departments, Auscycling, Local Residents and Trail Custodians to act in the best interests of all parties while balancing a safe and exciting experience for our Community. Fees are required for Insurance and Event Applications.

Prizes, Gift Vouchers, Subsidies

We typically donate $5 per rider at each event back to the trail custodians, offer more than $2,500 in Event Gift Vouchers to podium winners and offer $750 to our Elite Men and Women winners. We offer free entries to our Marshals, pay for professional services including multiple Photographers and Videographers and assist with fuel, food and accommodation costs for our Crew.

World's Best Timing System

Our Timing System is considered the World’s Best as used at the Enduro World Series. Yearly licensing, hardware and software upgrades are continuous. Additionally, we send our timing bands back to Germany as required for battery replacements at considerable expense.

Continued Development

Once the essential Event costs are accounted for, we continue to research new ways to improve Results, Live Broadcasts, Mobile Phone Apps, data presentation, website development, manage existing equipment and improve our systems with the aim for a better experience for Competitors, Spectators and our Crew.

We aim to give you the Best Enduro Experience possible and work hard to provide the Best Value Event for your Money.
