Riding EVERY type of BMX Bike on the Pump Track!
Built in September of 2019 the pump track at the Hahnbucher Straße in 51580 Reichshof, Germany is still a fun ride. 280 meter in length gets your legs tested if you do a couple of laps in a row. It can get a bit complex if multiple people ride it at the same time as there are no signs for direction and the way it is designed, people could ride it either way. The extra "kids" pump track is a smart move. But we wonder how much time they'll spend there before they want to ride the "big track". Rollers are a bit steep and edgy and the double to table is easy and fun. The asphalt used it on the rough side, which helps with grip, but it's important to not crash on it if you don't wear your elbow and knee pads. Add some hip pads too if you think you're going to have a few bails and a helmet of course. You'll thank your decision to pad up in case you take a digger.
