After first delivering our feasibility study in February, 2024, Gravity Logic recently wrapped up a 16-month build of the Oz Trails Bike Park. Transforming an idea into spinning chairlifts in two and a half years is a monumental achievement for everyone involved.
We want to give HUGE thanks to Gary and Derek for asking tough questions, setting high expectations, and, just as importantly, for having the flexibility to roll with the inevitable changes once the dirt started flying.
We need to acknowledge the in-house trail crew led by Ethan that will be responsible for continuing to maintain the park and who also put in many backbreaking hours in the lead -up to the soft opening in support of the Gravity Logic crews. Their input (both creative and productive) into the trails injected (and will continue to develop) a local flavor that is every bit as important as a solid trail foundation.
Rock Solid built an amazing chip-sealed Green trail that will likely be many people’s first experience in lift-access riding.
None of this would have been possible without the big picture vision and support of the fine folks at The Runway group and, in particular, Tom, Scott, Mike, and Ethan.
Lastly, we need to mention the GL crew, many of whom have spent the last 12-16 months living, eating, and breathing NWA to build the best possible bike park they could. This couldn’t have been done without the hard work, skill, and vision of Tom, Nat, Ian, Elliot, Kyle, Hadan, Desmond, , Aaron, Alex, and Grant.
Dozens of other people behind the scenes also contributed their talents, helping to make the Oz Bike Park what it is today and shaping it for the future.
Lastly, thanks to all the riders who showed up for the soft-opening and took advantage of lap after lap after lap and who shared the stoke. We’ve seen videos of Green riders on a chairlift for the first time, of Intermediate riders sessioning Kilowatt, and of Advanced, Expert, and Pro riders hitting features in ways we hadn’t even imagined. We’re looking forward to watching the evolution of the NWA riding scene.
Thanks for inviting us to be a part of it.
