There are a lot of concepts on how to build a pump track. There are professionals who have experience building pump tracks. One such example happens to be “local” - DirtSculpt owned by Dave King out of Lehighton, PA. They built the pump track in Bensalem, Philadelphia, and more. The two started the conversation to lead to a discussion about building a pump track in Lititz, PA. Their full-length conversation is available at https://youtu.be/atlbARdt2q4?si=V0lTnyXNX0WbpBaP Their website shows: https://dirtsculpt.com/services-pumptracks “A pump track provides a community hub where the fundamentals of riding are learned and perfected. An optimal track layout will provide a radical time for riders of all skillsets. From children just learning to ride, to professional cyclists, the rider is only limited to their imagination of how to approach the course. Starting on a raised platform the rider carves around the track by pumping (pulling over and pushing down) a series of rollers (mounds). These rollers are connected by a series of berms (banked turns). The flow of these features provides the rider with an endless circuit of pump lines (routes) to enjoy.” https://dirtsculpt.com/about Vision Our vision is to strengthen local communities by cultivating bicycling experiences. Mission Our mission is to construct world class bicycling facilities for everyone. Dave King has over 15 years of experience and is acclaimed to be one of the world’s best bike park builders. As a kid I started building trails and jumps in my backyard. These early projects laid the foundation to go on and help build the world-renowned BMX trails, NAM and Catty Woods. Although NAM is long gone, Catty Woods still attracts riders from around the world. Bringing together like-minded individuals over the shared passion of cycling cemented my lifelong mission to construct facilities for other riders to enjoy. After providing years of unincorporated build services across the nation, I formally established DirtSculpt in 2009. Since then, it has been an amazing experience working with organizations, local governments, and corporations from around the world to cultivate cycling experiences for all to enjoy. The DirtSculpt Crew is comprised of professional riders that transcend multiple riding styles. I couldn’t be more stoked to have their input when designing and constructing a new build or redesign.
