Pumptrack is gaining popularity with young participants especially. The pump path is a continuous circuit with bumps and bends that follow each other rhythmically. It is a cross between a BMX track and a skate park. This makes the pumptrack suitable for cross bikes, mountain bikes, stunt scooters, balance bikes, inline skates, longboards and snowboards. So basically for all the sports of cycling and skateboarding. Using your own weight at the right time will help you move along the path. Many adults and children quickly master this sport.
