What is a Pump Track?

A pump track is designed for all things on wheels. From bikes to scooters and skateboards, a pump track is a playground for all. By combining rolling jumps with turns and berms they are accessible for all. Teaching the basic skills of carrying momentum, balance and speed by using your arms and legs to pump your bike/board/scooter around the track. As you get better the tracks are designed to provide more challenges for you with no changes to the construction.

The Tumbler Ridge Pump Track

This project was a paved pump track in downtown Tumbler Ridge. The project was administered by the Tumbler Ridge Mountain Bike Association and is owned by the District of Tumbler Ridge. This paved facility is open for a wide array of users and skill levels, from beginner to expert, from scooters to skateboards and bikes. TRMBA intends for this to be a welcoming and comfortable community space that families and residents can enjoy. Construction was completed in 2021.
