What is Crown Gravity Collective?

Our mission is to inspire hard work, dedication, and good judgement through mountain biking.

Founded in 2021, CROWN was born out of a desire to bring the Flathead Valley’s talented young mountain bikers together. Today, we are proud to be Northwest Montana’s largest competitive downhill, enduro, freeride, and freestyle mountain bike team, as well as a dedicated 501c3 nonprofit.

We are committed to supporting the youth in our community and their passion for mountain biking.

BEYOND THE PODIUM…

Crown Gravity Collective goes beyond the podium, as we strive to not only create better bike riders and racers but also positive representatives of our sport and stewards of the lands where we recreate.

We are committed to promoting active participation within the local biking community while teaching proper trail etiquette and safety to all our members. We believe these values are essential to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our sport and the trails we enjoy.
