Mountain Biking
Crested Butte Academy Gravity Mountain Bike Program
The gravity mountain bike
program comprises three components: a race team program, camps and a clinic
program. This program is designed for riders with experience on mountain bikes
but not restricted to a gravity discipline background.
The CBA
gravity mountain bike camp program offers a variety of camps and clinics that
will focus on the fundamental bike handling skills of cornering, braking, and
jumping. A lot of time will also be dedicated to bike fitting, suspension
setup, line selection, mental preparation and strategy. All participants will
gain the knowledge and skills to ride a bike better than they ever have before.
The Crested Butte Academy Gravity Race Team works with riders in the
disciplines of Downhill, Dual Slalom, and 4X. Members of the race team receive
training and race support at regional events and selected national and even
international races. The race team works with riders from the regional sport
class level all the way to the World Cup. The core of the program is based
around the Mountain States Cup Series of Colorado and New Mexico. This is one
of the largest and most competitive series in the country and combined with the
CBA training model the Mountain States Cup is the best place for a racer to
become faster.
