Gravity

WSMTB runs both Downhill and Enduro Racing under the is Gravity umbrella.

Downhill as defined by Auscyling is a point-to-point format race involving a course of
between 1.5km and 3.5 km. Total race time should be between two and five minutes. The
course must contain a maximum of 3% paved roads and will consist of a variety of different
terrain types. There should be an emphasis on technical skills rather than pedalling.

Enduro, as defined by AusCycling, are races that include liaison stages and special stages.
Liaison stages have a maximum allowed time for the rider to complete without being
penalised. The times taken to complete special stages are accumulated to give an overall
total time. An Enduro course comprises of varied off-road terrain. The track should include a
mixture of narrow and wide, slow and fast paths and tracks over a mixture of off-road
surfaces. Each timed stage must be predominately descending, but small pedalling or uphill
sections are acceptable. Liaison stages can include either mechanical uplift (e.g. chairlift),
pedal-powered climbs or a mixture of both. The emphasis of the track must be on rider
enjoyment, technical and physical ability.
