A pump track is a facility for all types of wheeled sports from BMX and mountain bikes to skateboards and roller-skates. The track is made of rollers and banked turns designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping" - generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing.
Designed by Velosolutions UK the track is suitable for all abilities from first-time visitors through to experts for all wheeled sports. Beginners can use the track and as skill and speed progresses it is designed to provide more challenges such as jumps.
