PUMPTRACKS
What is a Pumptrack?
Velosolutions pumptracks are hotspots for all riders that seek a fun action-filled sports experience. The asphalted tracks are both a playground and training facility for MTB and BMX riders, skateboards and scooters at any level. Riders enjoy practising the basic skills of carrying momentum, balance and speed around the pumptrack. As the rider gets better, the track is designed to provide more challenge with an increase in speed and skill, all with no change to construction. A feature that a 5-year-old can roll through becomes a gap jump for a pro.
Types of Pumptracks
We have been driving innovation in the industry for years and as such expanding our portfolio with the inclusion of a wide variety of different tracks.
We can design tracks specifically for kids, urban sites that include concrete skate features, pump bowls and jump lines.

Construction
We have developed a specific asphalt process. The technique ensures the cleanliness of the track and makes it almost maintenance-free.
We recommend building with asphalt because of its outstanding advantages:
• Durability
• All-weather suitability
• Low rolling resistance
• Maximum traction
Maintenance is limited to the green areas and annual inspection of the slopes and drainage.

Consultation
We offer a highly experienced and talented team of professionals who draw from more than 20 years of experience in mountain biking and design. We are always happy to consult with clients on any number of trail related issues including feasibility studies, risk management, community consultation, trail auditing and assessment, staff training, maintenance planning, signage systems and design scope.
Design
We offer a comprehensive trail design package from the initial concept designs through to the final detailed submissions. We believe thorough design is the root of all successful trail projects and we always consider all facets from the outset. Trail grades, topography, soil types, trail sustainability, safety risks and sites of environmental significance are all variables that we carefully consider before applying the appropriate solutions to ensure a smooth and successful construction phase.
Construction
We have considerable experience building all kinds of recreational and event purpose trails. Our combined skills and expertise allow us to build in some very challenging environments without deviating from the design or sacrificing build quality. We work hard to get the best out of every trail; whether it’s an easily accessible green level trail, or a super challenging black descent, they all receive the same care and attention and are finished on time and on budget.

Sustainability
At Velosolutions, we value the connection between outdoor recreation and nature. This connection to nature is a major part of why we fell in love with riding in the first place. Environmental protection and sustainability are not just priorities for us, but fundamental principles that guide our approach through all stages of design and construction. Where possible, we aim to integrate our trails with the natural surroundings and try our best to manipulate the terrain using local materials and resources. Through thoughtful trail design and responsible construction practices, we aim to mitigate erosion, preserve biodiversity, and maintain the ecological integrity of the landscape. We often employ the expertise of ecologists to eliminate unnecessary disturbance to local flora and fauna. Our commitment to environmental stewardship not only provides unparalleled trail experiences for riders but also ensures the preservation of these places for generations to come.
We are proud to collaborate with Trash Free Trails, a CIC aimed at cleaning up our trails from single use pollution. www.trashfreetrails.org
