BMX - Pump Tracks: who has one?

anyone have one and want to share photos? i am going to build one in Az at the end of the summer. i got the LeeLikesBikes guide. it will be my house so i am going to use the whole back yard and maybe part of the front if i don't get grief from the home owners assoc. the property out there is very limited space wise. i will rent a skid steer.

:D

what the **** is a pump track

i don't **** know. i never had one. i read about it on the net and now i am going to build it!

Pump tracks are like a bunch of berms little jumps and more berms. That you pump. Ish. I think.

One of the local sets of trails around here has one. But it's not finished cause you know those MTBer's can't build trails :p

watch out, you've basically just invited every single other section of the forums to come over here and retaliate

i want to be able to use either the bmx or mtb. i want to keep the track fairly neutral (if there is such thing) and not cater to either.

although, i do want to build a light weight racing cruiser and try racing in the Fall. i think this type of bike could be particularly quick around the track if you are timing it.

They actually look really fun and would help me practice for the rythm section on the track.

When I raced, the 2nd to last moto was a pump race - you could only pedal to the first jump, then you had to pump your way around the track.

They do that at our track, but just for fun.

When i went to the track they would do that in practice. It's really tiring. (sp?)

The race track?

They just re-did it according to thier website. It looks alot bigger and scarier! I'm excited to go back.

HAHAHA. What did she say?

And Thursday drop me a line and we'll ride like i said...

Haha, how awkward would that be

it actually wasnt that akward, she pretty much said "dont let your father see this" and left well enough alone

I ove your mom.

i ove her too.

i ove her too.
....Awkward.

awkward is a realy awkward word

anyone been to "hilltop" in north jersey.. not sure if anyone still rides back there but a couple years ago that spot was really popular... they had a pretty good set of pump tracks.

so they are like real trails, except with less air, and more staying on the ground?

Basically like a bunch of rollers and berms and maybe a few tabletops that you don't pedal at you just pump the rollers and such. I'm pretty sure at least.

Next time i get out to the other trails around here i'll snap a picture of their pump track thing.
