New WCoLEP?
It appears the World Championship of Lyons Endurance Pump has a new owner. I think it’s about time we solidify the protocol and make this official.
Read more for David’s new P.R. and my new proposed world standard.

Lots of pump track love in a small space
Hey Lee,
How much pump can you pack into a small space? More than you think. A few years ago you posted a few pics of my PT (sweet little Santa Barbara pump track) that I built weeks after seeing your first track. It has since gone through a few changes. As soon as you think you have it dialed, the mighty shovel starts screaming.
Thanks again for the initial inspiration. Here’s a video of the latest incarnation.
Marshall
World Champion of Lyons Endurance Pump
Until today, our friend/rival Will at LateApex4Life held the record for 100 laps of Lyons pump. The jerk actually texted me right after his ride: “Will McDonald, June 27, 100 laps on Lyons pump track, 31:59.2”
OK Tough Guy, it’s ON!
Taos pump track: a fine example
This weekend Ian and I went to Taos, NM to build a pump track, and it came out great.
The whole process serves as a model for grassroots Pump Track Nation.
Pump track build/ride in Taos, NM this weekend
People have been roaming the Taos area for more than 14,000 years. The Town of Taos was incorporated in 1934. 75 years later, Taos joins the Pump Track Nation. Come on out. Let’s dig and ride.
Pump track weapon: small and inexpensive
Our man Kevin just completed his second series of Lee Likes Clinics, and he wants a BMX bike for pump track purposes. Good call, I say.
New dad: Should I rock the pump?
Lee,
I’m a 40 year old father of a two-week-old girl. I haven’t been on a dirt jump / pump track since I was 14. Now that you’ve built the new Lyons funhouse, I’m thinking about a steel P.1 for sale in Boulder. It’s $500 and in good shape. I think you know the bloak selling it.
1) Should I drop the $500 (in light of my recent fatherhood/life changes)?
2) Why?
Thanks (for your advice and for your work in Lyons!)

Urban pump track — inadvertent style
