The Huntley Gravity Zone is one of the hottest spots in the OZ Trails as of late and for good reason. The excitement was through the roof for this build and it certainly hasn't disappointed. When you come Visit Bentonville, make sure this one is on your list.

This area is located at 22 Huntley Ln in Bella Vista. It's a short 15 minute drive from downtown Bentonville and has a decent amount of parking. Many people head up there just to session this particular area, but I've found it's perfect to get some warmup laps in and then head our for a killer XC/Trail ride around Little Sugar. You could also break off into this spot during a ride and hit some jumps before getting back on the grind.

These five trails range from green to black and provide a very solid mix of terrain and features. The majority of riders can find sections or trails here they appreciate, however, I think this area should be reserved for riders that have a decent amount of on trail time.

Tango Whiskey: A flowing berm trail that starts to get you comfortable working entry point and bike angle on berms. It's a great start to get the legs warm and the return trail is quick.

Rendezvous: Similar to TW, this one is a bit longer and wider. It'll usher in a bit more speed and has a few mellow rollers. You end up a bit lower down than on TW, so the return trip will take a bit longer.

Invasion: This one is AWESOME! It may be short, but it packs a punch! Rated a black, Invasion ushers in some higher speeds and a couple of sweet gap jumps. It's a great way to build your comfort level on something a bit rowdier, but still forgiving. Both gap jumps can be rolled if need be.

Shock and Awe: This one is located just across the street on the west side of Huntley. It just might be my favorite and for good reason: You can get going AS FAST AS YOU WANT! It's also a trail that nearly everyone can ride at their own pace and built up some confidence. Be warned, the faster you go the more you'll have to scrub the jumps. Everything is rollable and you can make the quick return trip up to do it again.

AIR RAID: I think i'm ok saying this is the star of the Huntley Gravity Zone. Air Raid is a killer, progressive jump line. It's built INCREDIBLY well and allows riders to literally drop in and roll through with nary a pedal stroke. Seriously, you can roll this entire line without pedaling. The first two jumps build well and set you up for the third, which is probably the biggest. If you're comfortable with the first three, the last two won't be an issue. That. being said, be sure to check your speed as you come into the last two.

The Gravity Logic crew have laid down something special here and I'm excited to see more riders get out and lay down some laps.

Peace Out Dumpers! ;)
