Here’s the fun part — people will try almost anything on a pump track. 
Using that as a foundation, here are five of the strangest (yet real‑world) things people have taken onto pump tracks:

🛒 1. A shopping cart
Riders have pushed or ridden inside shopping carts on smooth pump tracks. It’s chaotic, loud, and usually ends quickly — but it definitely happens.

🧹 2. A broomstick “hobby horse”
Some BMX and MTB creators have filmed themselves riding pump tracks on broomsticks or stick‑horses as a joke. They pump the rollers by running rather than rolling.

🛼 3. Office chairs
Yes — the wheeled, spinning kind. They don’t corner well, but on mellow rollers, people have tried it for laughs.

🛴 4. Kids’ ride‑on toys
Plastic push cars, balance bikes meant for toddlers, and even those low plastic “plasma cars” have all made appearances. They actually handle rollers better than you’d expect.

🧊 5. A cooler on wheels
Some coolers have built‑in wheels and handles, and riders have used them like scooters. It’s ridiculous, but it rolls, so someone will try it.
