The ‘pump’ in a pump track is made possible by its two components, Rollers and Berms.
“Pump” refers to the pushing-down and pulling-up action performed by riders as they make their way around the track.
It’s a thrilling ride, where users experience an up-and-down feeling of weightlessness, just like the drops and climbs in a roller-coaster, but on a micro-level.
Pump tracks are designed this way so they can be ridden completely without the need for pushing and pedalling.
