easy
Distance 0.5 km
Easy. Wooden training elements on flatground.
On a pump track you learn how to master balance and body control. You ride it by “pumping” generating momentum by up and down body movements. Super fun! Pump tracks are designed for mountain bikes, but are also used by skateboard and scooter riders.
Author’s recommendation
Great for kids and beginner mountain bikers!
