Welcome back to Finding Speed for the 2025 Downhill season! There have been a lot of changes on the team for this year, with an increased roster, new faces, and some exciting riders. Team coach and Elite rider Jack Reading took the team out to the brand new Racing Centre base in Portugal for a pre-season camp to get our riders ready for the race season ahead.
We're going bigger and better for Season 2, and Episode 1 introduces our new faces and some familiar ones as the team settle in for some riding, trail building, Go-karting, paintball and a trip to Lousa. Our Gravity School Race team has some really fast riders this year, who will be looking to take on the Portuguese National races, the European series and hopefully a few Downhill World Cups. With riders across all categories (Juvenile, Youth, Junior and Elite) Gravity School racing are aiming for fast times across the board in 2025.
The team camp wasn't without its challenges with some big injuries for some of our riders, as well as weather and logistics coming in to play. We achieved a lot as well though, as we developed a brand new line at the bike park with Trail Tools, over at Ventoso called "Through the V". Tune in to see how the week unfolded, and what's in store for the rest of the 2025 Downhill Race Season.
To see how the riders got on racing the new track at Ventoso make sure you're subscribed, as episode two "the race" will be released very soon.
We hope you enjoy the new season of Finding Speed.
