BOOK: WELCOME TO PUMP TRACK NATION
Welcome to Pump Track Nation
How to build and ride the best pump track on Earth — Yours
|
By Lee McCormack
Through www.leelikesbikes.com I get lots of questions about designing and building pump tracks. I answer many questions on the site, but I thought it was time to put all of the essential info in one place. This ebook contains never-before-published information about designing and building pump tracks. If you spend less than 10 bucks, you’ll spend less time building — and more time riding!

I bought the book last year. And have built a trak. Just wondering if you are ever in my erea could give some pointers or help in my layout. I just cant get it right. Have you ever built one for some cash?
Thanks
Hugh

Yes.
- I do custom designs, fully documented so you’re ready to build. I’ve done these for parks, companies and private people.
- I can also get the track built.

Man
I have been trying to buy the ebook but goolge and paypal won’t register me. I live in Australia they don’t recognise my state, Western Australia. Weird. Can I get a copy some way else.
leelikesbikes Says May 6, 2008 @ 8:56 am
Hmm, that’s a pain.
If you live in a place that neither Paypal nor Google supports:
Write me a 100-word essay describing how your pump track will make the world a better place. If the essay rocks, I’ll email you a download link.
Grammar and punctuation count! This will be graded (and maybe published).

so what you are telling me is if i right you a 100 word essay about how i got my wife to let me build a pump track in my back yard you will hook me up with a free eBook.
it will be on its way
leelikesbikes Says May 23, 2008 @ 3:09 pm
You better spell “write” correctly, and I expect some punctuation. Here are the rules:
- It must have perfect spelling and grammar.
- It must grab me by the heart.
If you rock that action, the ebook is yours.

Dear Lee
My husband turns 40 soon. He is a lovely husband and a great dad. He has both our daughters on fancey bikes doing tricks and stunts as well as going to school or local shop. A pump track may not make the wider world a better place but would fill my little part of it with happy smiling faces. I plan to build one for them and have even brought a new spade for digging! unlike l’oriel they’re worth it!!
Make a birthday boy happy and send a link thanks -the cycling widow XXX
