Well velosolutions built it. We worked for 7 or so years to get here. It's looking pretty damn good. The small beginners track is 100m long. Can't wait to roll a bike round it.
Anyone suggest a decent not too expensive pumptrack bike?
I can't wait to not have to chair so many meetings.
Congratulations! That looks pretty epic.
Excellent!
Wow that looks impressive! Well done, must be satisfying to have all your hard work come to fruition!
The cricket club are gonna be pissed!
Clark & Kent have just finished the new pump track near my house. I thought it looked the bollox until I saw this one!
Looks great.well done.must have cost a fortune.
amazing!
Location - Edit: Scotland! a bit far for me.
Epic. Need to get the end of your username changed to hero.
MODS!!
Aye it's pretty impressive from ground level.
That looks pretty epic. I suspect there will be a road trip on the cards soon from Chopwell.
For the one near me, I built up a Dialled Holeshot (long) with 100mm Sektors, Pro2 on Flow with Table Tops, and single speed. Feels sketchy compared to the FS but flies round the track. It's way, way better a bike than I'll ever be a rider.

Exactly my thought! Amazing what you can get away with in lockdown though. 🙂
SSH they'll never notice 😆
that looks awesome, just wish I could ride it (I'm not close and I don't have the skills)
that looks ****ing epic!
if only i lived closer than 9 hours away!
That looks impressive indeed!

Real ale would be my guess?

Well done sir, superb. I've ridden a few Velosolutions pump tracks, and they are utterly fantastic things.
I love taking friends and teaching them how to pump - even though I am shit, its such an awesome feeling when you get it right and realise you are going waaaay tooo FASSTT! for the next berm 🙂
Every major town should have a pumptrack its not as if you need a lot of land for the usage it provides. They're so accessible from kids, beginners to pros
That's the best use of a cricket pitch I've ever seen. Great work!
Peebles needs one of these. The local opposition would be spectacular.

Agreed. And every urban cyclepath should have a pump track section parallel to it. No cars, no obesity and plenty of fun. I'll tell Greta and David

We have one and our town's a shithole.
Absolutely brilliant, well done!
Nice!
Cheers guys. I'm trying to figure out how to tell Mrs 100th that I have to leave for work 40 minutes earlier than usual most days.
Hopefully it'll get folk coming just for a day's play.
When is it due to open? It looks amazing. I live in Innerleithen and my 2 daughters use the Cardrona one. Their eyes lit up though when I showed them pics of this.
I love a good pump track and that one is spectacular!
Was pottering about on the Comrie pump tracks with my 3 year old son on his balance bike, me on my drop barred gravel bike, both of us having a great time.
Will try and fit a visit in to our next trip to the tweed valley, not far from the a68 so not a big diversion.
All being well Sheffield will have it's own version by the end of the year!

I find that wee one in Cardrona really hard its so short everything feels like you haven't quite finished the last one!
All things being equal we'll be "open" the end of this week. 😆

+1 The nearest to me is a 50 mile round trip to the middle of nowhere in a small village, there's literally nothing else there other than a few houses. It's fun but a bit small. There's a better one but that's an 85 mile round trip.
Been packed all day with 2 year olds to 62 year olds ,even busy at 7 this morning
Looks fantastic 🙂
I learned to pump properly aged 50 odd on a cruiser BMX, never too late to get the hang of something new.
“A day oot o Hawicks a day wasted” as they say. Well done (from a jealous Gala man!)
Good effort on that - looks awesome, just waiting on some funding requests to come back to get Clark & Kent to redesign and resurface the pump track near me.
(Don't think i'll get the funding for a track that big tho!)
