Hi Lee !
First of all, thank you for the help which you brings us by your website and your book.
I created an association (in France) and we plan to build a bike park of 4500 square meters with 4 zones :dual/pumptrack/dirt/freeride.
I look for software of drawing which would allow me to conceive the park in 3D ???
Thank you for your advice and a long life to your website
PS: Excuse me for my bad english (translator)

You might remember Andre from this pump track masterpiece. His new track fits into a narrow strip of formerly unused land.
Hi Lee, hope all is well… this is the little park that me and my partner designed in Jakarta-Indonesia. I have build the pump track following the guide from your book. Please have a look and tell me what you think of it? I’m planning to build another one on my friend’s backyard. Do you think the berms are not steep enough? I’ve always loose my front end on them as I get faster…. Thanks in advance
I had read a PDF of “Pumptrack Nation” a few years ago. If this question can be better answered in your print version I’ll have to order one of those.
I’m building a public track here in NYC and am planning a dual-slalom style set of rollers/camels around the perimeter of our track. I’d like the inside and outside lines to have roughly the same speed so as to not put either at a disadvantage after the berms.
What can I do? Also, If its not too much trouble, when I’ve finished my scale-drawings, would you mind taking a look at them?
— Thanks! Christopher
Yesterday we added a mini detour to the Lyons Bike Park. The resulting option is faster, flowier and funner.
Today was sunny and seventy. A perfect day to ride. Or, I suppose, to work on the Lyons Bike Park.
While hundreds of riders rolled past on their way to sweet trails, Glenn, Chad, Ron, Ian and I placed the wooden takeoffs for next weekend’s jump comp, and we started sprucing up the pump track. We return tomorrow to dial in the pump track — and hopefully to ride.
Last night Nick Simcik and I did a little ride/shoot on my new little trail. The conditions were steep, loose and very raw. We got a few shots for MMBSii, and we both learned something about the fine art of bike cornering.
… I did scratch a short trail into my yard. It’s short, steep and very technical. And it’s lined by cactus.
Yesterday I rode 30 laps for about 60 minutes. Awesome fun so close to home.
Today I spent most of the day at The Wife’s hair salon (she’s supposed to be on bed rest, so I had to wife-sit). Tonight I squeezed in a short session on the home trail. I blew a turn and rolled it out — right through a cactus patch!
The Wife just spent 90 minutes pulling needles from my butt. The joys of marriage.
Thursday’s Giant Bicycles pumpfest at the Keystone Stables was even better than Monday’s. The track was even more dialed, and even more riders rocked it.
Last night’s Giant Bicycles pump-athon at the Keystone Stables rocked! Expect a full report after Thursday’s session. For now:
There was rain. And mud. And pony piss. But I’m proud to say Giant Bicycles’ temporary pump track at the Keystone Stables is ready to rock. A tale of logistics, precipitation and teamwork.
6 a.m. — Taking off to import and place dirt for the temporary pump track at Keystone. I have an awesome crew coming up to shape/pack/ride tomorrow. This is going to be sweet!
As for you: Heavy feet, light hands!
