Pumptracks
Pumptracks

Pumptrack allow cyclist to move basically without pedalling. By “pushing” the bike on jumps with arms and legs (hence the expression of "pumping") and using the gravity and centrifugal force, the cyclist speeds up and to overcomes the circle. From lap to lap you can get a pretty good speed, which makes staying on track a real challenge. Therefore, remember about the helmet (obligatory for everybody) and some protectors (if you're a beginner). You can go on the track with virtually any type of bike, even children cross-country bike will do, however to achieve optimal fun, bmx or mtb bike is recommended. We encourage everyone to try it, because such training looks calm only from the outside, but if you do it properly you can really get tired. It's therefore a good way of developing fitness, balance and skills to cope with similar obstacles on natural or prepared flow / singletrack paths.
Of course, all tracks with a smooth surface (asphalt / synthetic) are also suitable for skaters, skateboarders and scooter riders.
In the Małopolska region, first pumptracks were established about 2012 in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska and Myślenice and they were earthworks. The facility built in 2015 in Nowy Sącz, consisting of as many as 4 tracks, remains the largest asphalt object of this kind.
