PLAN A TRIP
Uplift and bike-park booking
Understand passes, protection, bike requirements, loading and fatigue before committing to a gravity day.

Book the correct product
Day passes, uplift places and ride-only access may be separate.
- Check operating dates, arrival time, cancellation policy and weather rules.
- Confirm minimum age, bike type, tyre and protection requirements.
- Reserve hire and coaching separately where necessary.
Start below the limit
Venue grading may feel different from a familiar local trail.
- Use the easiest full descent as a sighting lap.
- Inspect optional features and obey closed-line signs.
- Allow brakes, suspension and hands to recover between laps.
Manage the uplift
Loading systems and queues require attention.
- Follow staff instructions and secure loose straps or accessories.
- Keep clear of moving vehicles and never ride through loading areas.
- Finish while braking and decision-making remain consistent.
