Building a pump track in the backyard

[sixstringsteve]

I might be able to make it Steve.

We got a ton of work done yesterday. The pump track is officially complete.

 

[sixstringsteve]

and we did a little 50 minute session back there. Fun times!

Awesome Steve!

Looks pretty cool but I saw a whole fence line without dirt next to it, I don't think your done yet!

That's impressive Steve, nice work!

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Super cool. I thought it was done after you had the back section built. I missed the rest of the thread.

Thanks guys. It took a lot longer to build than I had planned, but it has already been worth it. I get more of a work out on that track in 3 minutes of riding than I do in 30 minutes of mountain biking. It's insane. I'm glad it's not any longer, I can't even do two laps without running out of breath. I'm getting faster though, and I'm getting less tired each time I ride it. Best of all, my neighbors love it!

Now I've just got to figure out a way to keep my homeowner's insurance from taking the hit if anyone gets hurt, then we'll have a BBQ riding night.

many thanks to my friends who helped me dig all those hours. It really came together. Now it's time to RIDE!

Great video Steve, that was fun!

looks good steve, wish I could have come down and given a hand moving some dirt. You look like a pro out there Kyle.

I knew this thread was somewhere, I needed some inspiration. This is going down in my backyard soon! (In Northern California though).

Sweet! If I help dig it, can I ride it? It was a really fun project.

I'd love to build one of these for my daughter. Hmmm

 

[sixstringsteve]

The one at the Draper bike park is world-class.

Haha, pretty sure you can just come over when it's done. We have plenty of room.

Hey @sixstringsteve guesstimate on how many digging hours you had into this? I volunteered to help a neighbor with a backyard pump track, wondering if I'm going to regret it
