Hey Front Rangers, Superior got its grant and I got the gig to build a bike park in town. We start digging this fall. It’s time to talk details.

In the past year, the Lyons Bike Park has become a fixture of the community and a destination for the region. The entire project, from materials to equipment to final shaping, was driven by volunteers, and it really showed what a community can achieve with tiny budget and huge love.
Last year’s dig day was so teeming, I couldn’t thank everyone by name. Saturday’s dig day — the birthday spruce-up and prep for June’s Lyons Outdoor Games — was so sparse it’s easy to thank everyone individually.

The Lyons Bike Park is already a year old. She’s in great shape, but we want to give her some love before next months’ Lyons Outdoor Games.
Please come on out next Saturday, May 29, to clean up, make improvements, ride bikes and eat BBQ. Work goals include axing weeds, clearing rocks, re-shaping jumps and (if we have enough workers) building a new inner line on the pump track.
We’ll be out there all day. Who’s in?
Hey all, I have a private pump track/DJ project coming up in May. Who wants to build cool stuff and earn a few bucks? Email me with your intentions and qualifications, or leave a comment below.

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.

Hi Lee !
First of all, thank you for the help which you brings us by your website and your book.
I created an association (in France) and we plan to build a bike park of 4500 square meters with 4 zones :dual/pumptrack/dirt/freeride.
I look for software of drawing which would allow me to conceive the park in 3D ???
Thank you for your advice and a long life to your website
PS: Excuse me for my bad english (translator)

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