Our friend Stefan in South Tyrol used the specs in Welcome to Pump Track Nation to build a snow pump track.
He plans to build a dirt track this summer. As he says, he’s working out the kinks with a zero-cost material.

Yes, at least in the beginning. Read on:

You can rock the pump without dirt — and even without wheels.

You might remember Andre from this pump track masterpiece. His new track fits into a narrow strip of formerly unused land.

Hi Lee, hope all is well… this is the little park that me and my partner designed in Jakarta-Indonesia. I have build the pump track following the guide from your book. Please have a look and tell me what you think of it? I’m planning to build another one on my friend’s backyard. Do you think the berms are not steep enough? I’ve always loose my front end on them as I get faster…. Thanks in advance

I had read a PDF of “Pumptrack Nation” a few years ago. If this question can be better answered in your print version I’ll have to order one of those.
I’m building a public track here in NYC and am planning a dual-slalom style set of rollers/camels around the perimeter of our track. I’d like the inside and outside lines to have roughly the same speed so as to not put either at a disadvantage after the berms.
What can I do? Also, If its not too much trouble, when I’ve finished my scale-drawings, would you mind taking a look at them?
– Thanks! Christopher

Yesterday we added a mini detour to the Lyons Bike Park. The resulting option is faster, flowier and funner.

As promised, here’s the report from Aussie Chris.

This week the world’s best are competing at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Canberra, Australia. That is awesome and I wish everyone well.
But the real contest goes down Wednesday on a local backyard pump track. 30 top pros. 10 timed laps. $4,000 up for grabs. Game on!
