Gravity Well
this was a specialized form of obstacle used in swoopchase racing. The Well was formed from a high-banked ditch. Inside the ditch was a repulsorlify engine designed to attract objects rather that repel them. These engines often sat beneath a collection of rigid spikes or other dangerous devices. If a rider was unable to overcome the downard pull of the repulsorlift engines, their swoop would suddenly be dragged down onto the spikes. Because of the dangerous and deadly nature of the Gravity Well, it was considered an outlaw obstacle by the governing bodies of swoopchase racing.
