Hi Lee, I purchased your excellent book Welcome to Pump Track Nation v2 (hardcover) because my son and I are building a pump track in our backyard. I was wondering if I could ask you a question. I’ve gotten a dirt sample from a friend who’s got an excavator and can deliver it to me. […]

Before I tried them, my response was “I don’t need no help. My pedal stroke is awesome. Those are for people who suck […]
Here’s a great question from our remote coaching student Stefan in Switzerland. One last question to the drops and speeds: Is this reasoning right: given all things equal with the drop except its height, I could approach all drops smaller or higher with the same speed I‘ve been using now? With higher drops I‘ll land […]
