The Mongoose Pump Track.

Thursday the 26th 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. Expect the competition to be fierce with close times means this will go down to the wire. 

Race entries are £10.00 payable in advance and online and are limited to 32 riders aged at least 13 at some point this year (they can be 12 years of age and still race as long as they are aged 13 at some point this year). Note there is only one category (Both Male and Female racing each other).

Mountain biking is an inherently dangerous sport with the distinct possibility of severe injuries, or even worse. No matter where you ride or how well you know the course you should never ride beyond your skill level and always ride in control and in a sensible manner. Riding in control does not just mean being able to stop, it also means having the requisite skills to recognise and avoid potentially dangerous situations on the course. You must also be able to recognise where it is safe to stop on the course. Avoiding accidents with other riders is an essential mountain biking skill. Riders must use the course in a sensible manner compatible with their level of experience. Riders should walk the course, observing current ground conditions, making yourself aware of any obstacles prior to riding the course. We ask riders to accept that they will ride the course at their own risk and accept that no liability can be accepted by the event organisers.
