Wildwood Park Pump Track in Chico, CA
Pump Track Nation is growing!
I worked with local officials and riders to create designs and build specifications for beginner and (very) expert pump tracks. The locals, led by enduro star Kyle Warner, executed what looks like a beautiful build.

Awesome examples of awesome riding
I want to put some of the best riding — ever! — in one place for us mortals to study. I’m looking for clean shredding.
Check these out, and tell me what I missed!

Aaron Gwin wins — chainless!
By now most of the internet knows Aaron Gwin won last week’s World Cup downhill in Leogang without a chain. He broke it out of the gate, shrugged it off then railed and pumped his way to a win — over the best riders in the world — the rest of whom pedaled!
Totally rad. Go Aaron. Go America. Go God.
Update July 3, 2015: Added link and summary of Dirt article “Aaron Gwin – Chainless – How did he do it?”

Check out this pair of pump tracks I designed for a 5-star resort on the coast of Portugal.
These tracks were built by the resort’s construction crew — and they look fun!
The beach view isn’t bad either.
Must-do-list before building the pump track
A new member of Pump Track Nation shared this note from his wife:
The LLB Spring 2015 Moab Camp was so rad
Our first multi-day destination camp is done, and it was beyond awesome. I’m still jazzed … and I’m planning improvements to the next camp.
Check out the epic tale and photos:

Keeping weeds off a pump track
Hi Lee,

Sincerely,
Jerome
