What is a pumptrack?
A pumptrack is a bike track with humps that allow you to pump speed into your bike instead of pedaling.
The speed comes from you reducing the weight on the wheels when going uphill and increasing the weight on the wheels when going downhill. This way you can pump speed into the bike by bending/stretching your arms and legs at the right time.
Which bike is best?
A pumptrack can be used with all types of bikes, but the lighter and more cash the bike is, the easier it is to pump speed into the bike.
A BMX bike of approx. 7 kg is optimal to use, where a mountain bike with full suspension, large wheels and soft tires is more difficult to pump speed with, but all bikes can in principle be used.
