23-08-10 Here is a short update on what the GL crew has been up to and what is happening in the bike parks that we are involved in.

Summer On The Hill
22-08-10 While we’ve been preaching summer operations for years, we’re occasionally reminded that not only can a Bike Park be successful, but it can also brings events that eclipse, dollar for dollar, even the most lucrative winter event. Think of it: who wouldn’t rather stand shoulder to shoulder under the sun with like-minded people dressed [...]

Burns Lake, BC – Roadtrip Anyone?
It is a painful reality in our line of work that we’re often delayed the gratification of sampling the goods that we’ve worked so hard to create. Sometimes we hand over the job of finishing and fine tuning the trails to competent local crews once the bulk of the work is complete. Occasionally we’ll begin [...]
The Gravity Logic Forum Returns to Whistler Sept 16-18
WHISTLER, BC, July 7, 2010 – Over the past two years Gravity Logic has presented The Forum at Winter Park to showcase the evolution of Trestle, the USA’s most rapidly growing bike park. However this year, the Forum is returning to its roots in Whistler, BC.

Sunny And Warm With A Slight Chance Of Showers
While many resorts are battling drought and dust or never ending rain and mud, Trestle Bike Park finds itself nestled between the two extremes with clear skies and, if you’re lucky, tacky dirt. Sunny and warm with a slight chance of showers in the afternoon….that’s the weather forecast for any given summer’s day at Trestle [...]
Sugarloaf, New Brunswick, Opening Weekend
Sugarloaf opening weekend has come and gone and with it a few interesting stats. It is important to understand that Sugarloaf is no Whistler. At just 500 feet of vertical it is more of a bump than a mountain. It is served
Swedish Trip Report
I left Whistler on May 4th on what looked like a fairly casual trip to Sweden. I had a scheduled two day speaking engagement at the SLAO (Swedish Ski Lift Operators Association) Conference in Salen and then seven days of helping the Jarvso Bergscykel Park (www.jarvsobergscykelpark.se/) trail crew to get their bike park ready for the grand opening on June 5th. That adds up to nine days of work and my return date was for May 26th. I had cleverly fit about two weeks of sightseeing and relaxing into my trip while my GL partners slaved building trails at Sugarloaf Bike Park in New Brunswick (www.sugarloafpark.ca/en/).
Close Encounters Of The Moose (and Grizzly, and Buffalo) Kind
16-06-10 After a solid ten days of walking every square inch of terrain served by the Teewinot lift, today marked Gravity Logic’s last day of bike park design at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. True, the vertical served by the lift might be pint-sized at just over 110 meters, but we’ve managed to squeeze some serious [...]
Hot Dogs, Fries, and Golden Dirt
23-04-10 Rob, Dave, and BT just finished thier first day back at Sugarloaf Bike Park, NB. After a summer of use, and a winter asleep, we’re pleased to announce that the trails are MINT. Covered with leaves, the not-quite-dry-not-quite-wet hero dirt is now covered with a day’s worth of our tracks as we inspected (and [...]
