Advanced Pump Track Features
Complex Size – The track is designed over an area of between 700 and 1,500 square meters. It is possible to design and adjust the shape of the track to the existing terrain.
Track Level – The track and its level are specifically designed for advanced and experienced riders.
Ages and Levels – Suitable for children, teenagers and adults.
Bicycle Types – Suitable for all types of bicycles.
Pump tracks are built in safe environments where the risk and speed are lower while the level of improvement and enjoyment are higher.
Pump tracks are suitable for all types of bicycles and for every rider, from five-year-olds to professionals, where children first ride with pedaling as they improve their proficiency, while professional cyclists can ride without pedaling and improve their skills and their heart and lung endurance, in an effort to complete as many loops as possible without pedaling.
Advantages for the Rider
Completing a pump track loop takes a relatively short time and allows a learning experience of quick and dynamic improvement with each loop and an immediate sense of accomplishment.
Developing co-ordination, agility, body language, overcoming obstacles, anaerobic training, upper body muscle training, sprinting.
Riding on the pump track is done using the “pumping” technique. A rider riding the track will have to take a break after a small number of loops in order to recuperate, and this increases the interaction between the riders as a larger number of riders are using the track simultaneously.
Pump tracks are a facility for fitness and for improving one’s riding technique to the highest level.
Safety
Pump tracks are designed as a safe environment providing a riding experience with a sense of safety.
Pump tracks are built from durable materials that, combined with the soft and natural surrounding environment, offer the rider a sense of safety in case of a fall.
Instructional and guiding signage creates a safe and responsible environment when using the facility.
Infrastructure and Materials
The track surface is made of a reinforced asphalt concrete foundation coated using epoxy and acrylic paint available in a variety of colors, placed using a unique technique and giving the track durability over use and weather, protection from UV rays and surface heating. The surface complies with the American LEED@ Credits standard for green building (an index for the ability of a material to reject solar energy).
The track surface was designed and fitted by Mountain Goat for the sole use of extreme riding on pump tracks; the surface went lab friction tests to adapt to the level of grip needed for its purpose.
During design and execution, special attention was given to draining the surface and the entire track; drainage components are utilized during construction; the facility can withstand rains and drains large amounts quickly, thus ensuring safe reuse of the track a shortly after rains.
Stabilizing the slopes using vegetation is important to protect against erosion over time, for the safety and aesthetics of the facility.
Multiple Users
Using a surface coated with epoxy and acrylic paint allows the track to be used also by Carver skateboards, kick scooters and roller skates – an innovative solution that answers the needs of multiple users.
