Posted March 23, 2005 Pump track fever: Taiwan style Since I posted the story about our pump track here in Boulder, the world has come down with a serious case of pump track fever. The kids in Whistler are carving them into the ground, and Ray from Ray's MTB is building one out of wood. Pump tracks make you smooth, fast and strong, and they require little space, so -- yeah -- they should be everywhere. A couple weeks ago Chris Papworth built this twisty pump track at the Riding High riding park in Taichung, Taiwan. He'll soon return to the UK to distribute Element bikes. I don't know what he accomplished while he lived in Asia, but he certainly left a fun little legacy. Photos by Chris' wife, Vicky. Track layout. Start way. First straight. 180.   Double back. Snake in. Snake out. Donut.   Chris digs. Chris rides. Do you have pump track fever? Tell me about it.
