i'd definitely be interested in a wall ride video! my nearest (paved) pump track has a wall ride just like the one in this video. i don't have enough jumping confidence (maybe not enough skill) to get onto it the way you do here but that looks like so much fun! my home trails also have a wall ride after a couple tabletops but there's usually a bump between the dirt and the wood due to rain erosion. still, i've been working on not braking so much before and through berms and plan to get up on that wall before the riding season ends this year.
Thanks for the video. I didn’t know pump tracks could be so fun and useful. I’ll definitely see if I can find a track wherever we travel with our bikes.
I love pumptracks! I used to go there every week. And I need to pick up that old habit soon. Got a bit frustrating that I couldn't clear a 16ft double on the pumptrack... even after 2,5 years trying
Thanks for the love & of course!! We’re straight up SPOILED with these tracks in CO. Within 30 mins from where I live (Longmont) I can ride FIVE Velo tracks 🤯🤯
There are now THREE velosolutions tracks within an hour of where I grew up, in North East, TN! I actually bought a bike to leave at my parents' house so there's no reason I can't go when I visit. One of them is so close, my kids and I will ride to it from the house. Bummer the closest one to where I live is 2 hours away and the closest VS track is like 3+
Warning, kids, and Moms always get directly in your way almost every time. IDK why, its just their nature, be patient and careful. If there is too many kids I just leave, and ride something else
That can certainly be a scary downside! I always try to do my best to educate...but sometimes it's best to come back another time, when it's less crowded.
pumptracks are designed one directional if you go backwards your forcing everyone ellse to stop so you can ride backwards.... come on fool how can you ever tell people there desinged one way then tell people they can go backwards... yesterday I litteraly gave a father shit for doing that and his son followed him as they both forced 5 riders to stop and wait for there dumb mistake.... on a pumptrack with direction arrows of all fricken places..... be like driving wrong way on one way road..... your going to cause a crash or injury
forgot to add that father and son snaked us 5 riders just to go backwards... seen a little kid ride backwards get hit... seen a girl snake a rider then stop infront of him... caused a crash.... there are rules at a pumptrack for good reasons going backwards is a rule that was made for a very important reason everyones safety everyones fun.
pump tracks really work your legs, lungs & heart too!! Also your lips 👄… they turn upward into a smile ‘cause once you get your flow goin, it’s a total blast! definitely p/u good bike handling skills using a P-T 🤙🏼🫶🏼
Absolutely & great addition!! No matter how fit I feel on the gravel or MTB, a pump track ALWAYS reminds me I need to do more laps, regularly. Haha. Couldn’t agree more on the smile per mile ratio on pump tracks too! Straight up roller coaster fun! -Mike

Love this! Thanks for explaining how pump tracks work so we can go practice all the skills we've watched in your videos.
Thank you!! They’re seriously a GAME CHANGER when it comes to developing skills fast. Much love!

Thanks for the great video. And the info on finding more tracks. I live in Denver and only knew about Valmont. 🙄

Regrettably, there's zero chance of Alaska getting such a nice, paved pump track.
