Pump track on steroids basically, so instead of all rollers going in a loop, a nice long loop of jumps rollers, and weird ass features that you flow round in a loop, with shit going all over the place, but everything kept small
yeah i get what your throwing down there. thats the glory of pumptracks aye, open your creative eye and you can build anything. thats basically why i love mountain biking. theres no rules on what to build its all about being creative.

Just the straight figure of eight or more intricate tracks that contain just rollers or even 90% rollers im not a fan of, with jumps you can mix it up more, esher was better as it had so many transfer options, but still limited as is inherent with pumptracks

Almost finished extension.

Here's the one I spend time digging, original was built by me and a group of volunteers a couple of years ago and the extension by me and one other over Christmas. Old part's going to get a makeover come Spring as its looking a little bald in places and could do with some new lines.

Yeah, this gets ridden througout the year in any weather so needs some kind of protection. The extension has a 20-30mm layer of tarmac plannings which the club got for free as a sub-base then 10mm of Blue Alvin (although any fine gravel would do the job I guess.) No idea if this will stand the test of time but the old track has just the fine stuff on and its worn through in a lot of places and needs some tlc before Summer! Hoping to concrete or block pave the 180 berm just out of shot though if I can source the materials for free/cheap.

Nearly done my pumptrack now, just needs a bit of tweaking and then gravel. The green things are raised beds for growing vegtables.
