Pump track
What makes a track a pump track? - It is a track where you generate momentum on your bike by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing. Pump tracks cater to all members of the community, creating a space that unites people from diverse backgrounds.
Ride smart - These are unsupervised facilities. Ride at your own risk and look out for others.
Before you ride
- Check your bike is in good working order, especially the brakes
- Wear an approved helmet and enclosed footwear
- Consider gloves and pads for extra protection
- Lower your seat slightly to improve control
- Follow the one-way track direction
On the track
- Give way to riders in front
- Ride within your ability and stay in control
- Keep the track clear when not riding
How to pump - A pump track is all about body movement. Try these basics to get started:
- Stand tall on your pedals in a relaxed, neutral position
- Bend your elbows as your front wheel climbs a roller
- Bend your knees as your back wheel follows
- Push down with your arms and legs as you crest the roller
- Stay centred and balanced as you move through the track
