The Mongoose Pump Track Challenge.
Thursday the 25th of August.
The Pump Track is pure and raw racing on any bike! Expect an influx of BMX riders/racers taking on the MTB fraternity to be crowned the Mongoose Pump Track Champion! Racing against the clock, riders will have a rolling start across the start line as they pump and jump their way around the track. With just one run to count, the riders will have to bring their A-game and put it all on the line to take the win.

The top five riders will then go through to the ‘Super Final’ for one shot at the title!
