This also allows us the opportunity to promote a stronger connection with the future generation of gravity athletes for the development of the sport.

Our annual goals throughout the year remain 5Million impressions and 1,000 individuals served.

How it works

August-December

We begin the process of working with sponsors, partners and donors. During this time we develop the schedule, operating budget and general plan for the year ahead.

October - November

October we select the athletes that we will support for the next season and offers go out to those selected. In November we welcome our new team and share there benefits which go into effect in December.

January - October “Race Season”

During this 10 month race season LRSD Corp hosts “Supported Races” where a mechanic is available and all efforts are made to support the athletes that race weekend. This is also the time we ramp up training and work with our two MTB coaches. We provide a full 10 months of structured ride training, athletic development, as well as hydration and nutrition management. This is a factory level program, that includes team maintained race bike, and all the needed maintenance through out the race season.

Throughout the year

We host a series of clinics and community rides to engage the gravity community.
