With the start of the Downhill World Cup season nearly upon us, Velosolutions is proud to announce the following news!

Velosolutions partners with Adrien Loron
Velosolutions is proud to officially announce Adrien Loron as an official Velosolutions rider. Adrien holds the 2013 title for both the Crankworx Europe and Crankworx Whistler RockShox Pumptrack Challenges and it was a no-brainer that Adrien would be the ideal ambassador for Velosoltuions.

Adrien and Brendog exchange notes at the Gstaad-Scott DH Team's training camp last month.

Not only is Adrien a super fast and stylish rider, he's also a pumptrack designer and role model for the BMX and MTB kids in France. Adrien will be competing at the Sea Otter Classics, Crankworx and other selected events, and will also be participating in the process of designing and building new Velosolutions pumptracks.

The next level of pumptrack: The Velosolutions Pump Park
Designing and building a pump-park has been a dream for Velosolutions for a long time and the town of Sils i.D. in Switzerland made it come true very recently. Right in front of the town's school, the team was able to build the first Velosolutions Pump Park.

Right next door to the local school, the new park is in a perfect spot for the kids to learn their bike skills.

It's also a pretty good venue for the more accomplished rider!

Buttery-smooth asphalt. The lines are limitless.

The difference between a pump-park and a normal pumptrack is that the users are not restricted to a track anymore, as they are free to choose their line anytime and anywhere. Built with our signature asphalt, it allows incredible speeds and crazy jump combinations. Check out the photos and be ready for videos coming out soon, when Timo Pritzel, and his Scott Voltage team hit it! The official inauguration party will be on June 14.

 That new pump track park idea has already been done at what used to be Esher shore north shore park, it was just a pump track with a crazy amount of different lines, unfortunately it got flattened but still this one looks Insane!

 I always wonder how you could talk while riding downhill, it seems hard to focus.

 The moment you just do the whole area you have the same issues skateparks have with riders going opposite ways. Also, If you're going to use reclaimed asphalt you might aswell go all the way and just concrete it since you cant change it anyway.
