This weekend Ian and I went to Taos, NM to build a pump track, and it came out great.
The whole process serves as a model for grassroots Pump Track Nation.

People have been roaming the Taos area for more than 14,000 years. The Town of Taos was incorporated in 1934. 75 years later, Taos joins the Pump Track Nation. Come on out. Let’s dig and ride.

Our man Kevin just completed his second series of Lee Likes Clinics, and he wants a BMX bike for pump track purposes. Good call, I say.

Lee,
I’m a 40 year old father of a two-week-old girl. I haven’t been on a dirt jump / pump track since I was 14. Now that you’ve built the new Lyons funhouse, I’m thinking about a steel P.1 for sale in Boulder. It’s $500 and in good shape. I think you know the bloak selling it.
1) Should I drop the $500 (in light of my recent fatherhood/life changes)?
2) Why?
Thanks (for your advice and for your work in Lyons!)
Dave

The other day I marked the slalom course and set a benchmark time for 100 Laps of Pump Track Love.

We still have some work to do, but the park is ridable. We got a few shots at the end of yesterday’s work/ride sesh.

Hey Lee. Great site .. love it. I just bought your ebook “Pump Track Nation” and had a question about bike selection/course design.
I’m primarily an XC racer (some super D and road racing mixed in) and I’m looking to beef up the handling skills. I’ve got no problem on technical trails but keeping my speed through the corners and bumps is what I need to work on so a pump track would be great for me. Problem is I fell in love with 29″ wheels and the few pump tracks I’ve tried seemed to be designed for smaller wheels. I’m sure a large part of it is just learning the skills but do you have any recommendations for the big wheel crowd? How to adjust your riding style? Or how to adjust your track plans if you’re planning on building?
Thanks! Matthew
