What is a Kids Pump Track
Short, circular riding tracks of about 70 meters that include rollers (smooth mounds) and berms (raised turns), where one cycles not by pedaling but rather by carefully timed body motions (“pumping”) while creating and maintaining riding inertia.
Kids pump tracks provide a complimentary track to larger pump tracks as part of a riding park accessible to the public at all times.
Kids pump tracks are designed for clients with a large enough budget and enough space to construct two tracks of different levels – one for adult riders and the other for kids.
Kids Pump Track Features
Track Rate – The pump tracks level of difficulty is designed and customized for each client according to his or her demands.
Ages and Levels – Suitable for young riders and toddlers
Planning – Designed using professional and dedicated architectural planning.
Aesthetics – An aesthetic space, green and natural, that blends with the environment, friendly and inviting to the riding public and their families.
Advantages – Provides for an effective training facility for riders of all levels and a dedicated platform for organized activities such as riding classes, competitions, summer camps and rider meet-ups, all in a safe and inviting environment.
Pump tracks are built in safe environments where the risk and speed are lower while the level of improvement and enjoyment are higher.
Kids pump tracks are suitable for all types of bicycles and for any rider ages 3 and up. The children will first ride normally as they improve their skill until they develop the ability to ride 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
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.
