Pumptracks

Challenge your balance in one of Nesbyen’s two pumptracks.

The purpose of a pump track is for you to “pump” around the track instead of pedalling. The pump track requires good balance and technique, and are great fun when you master the skills needed. The biggest pumptrack can be found here.
