Fall 2023 Gravity Groms

Cubbies

Pre K - K

The fall season at Shastice park this year met youngsters ready to get out on a pair of wheels, some for the first time. Skills such as Dragon(neutral position), Tiger(ready position), and Braking were instructed by the use of cone drills and games to kids in Pre K - K. Towards the middle of the month, kids took to the dirt and applied their skills at a new level, riding the trails in and around Shastice Park. Cubbies was coached by Georgie Bass and Rynn Cobb.  

Bruins

Age 6-9

The McBride trailhead found itself to be the beginning of rad times on the trails for the Bruins group. Kids aged 6-9 took to the trails, applying skills such as braking, neutral and ready position. Trails such as Muirs Ascension and Strawberry Valley offered ample opportunities for kids to laugh, learn, and improve their skills. Fun times, good trails, and snack times were had. Bruins was coached by Payton Birch and Paige Cibart.
