About This Event

The Lone Star Gravity Series Chainless Championship is a unique, high-stakes mountain bike event that tests conservation of momentum and bike handling. Held at Spider Mountain in Burnet, Texas, this event kicks off a weekend of gravity racing in the Texas Hill Country. The hallmark of the "Chainless" format is that mechanics will physically remove participants' chains before their timed run. Without the ability to pedal, riders must rely entirely on gravity, cornering technique, and "pumping" the terrain to maintain speed down the mountain.
