The Pump Track has been generating alot of interest, as its really taken shape since the Christmas vacation, with Dirt Magazine interested in doing a feature on it as soon as it opens!
After a really cold, wet and snowy Winter, its been great to finally enjoy some dry, sunny and relatively warm weather the past week, which has allowed the Pump Track to dry out and proper riding sessions to start
I'd also not ridden my Mythic Rampant properly in months, and after fitting a new Pivotal saddle / post, new bars, bashguard and alloy / titanium bolts and fresh set of Fast Trak tires, it feels really sweet to ride - damn had I missed riding that bike!!
Yesterday we installed the lower section of what will become a quarter-pipe (it will be extended to reach vert at about 8 foot), we are integrating lots of cool timber stunts into the Pump Track including north shore sections, kickers, wallrides and other stunts
Of course, as soon as we had installed the 1/4, it was time to session it, which felt weird being on 26" wheels with a longer wheelbase after riding my BMX on this kind of terrain in the past
It was great fun, and we should be extending the timber upwards next week, when we'll be able to start getting some proper height and doing tiretaps / nosebonks
Here is a link to a short video I shot of me riding the Pump Track on my Rampant, prior to putting in the 1/4 pipe: http://www.pinkbike.com/video/125296/
more news coming soon!
