Raleigh has introduced a new modular pumptrack at Forest Ridge Park, enhancing its recreational offerings. This above-ground riding course is designed for riders of all skill levels, offering an opportunity to improve balance, coordination, and bike-handling skills through body movements known as “pumping.” The track’s design includes smooth rollers and banked turns, allowing users to gain momentum without pedaling.
The pumptrack represents a significant addition to Raleigh’s outdoor amenities. Its mobility allows it to be relocated as needed, providing flexibility and the potential to extend this experience to other parks in the future. The city aims to encourage outdoor activity with this innovative feature that appeals to both youth and families.
The mobile nature of the pumptrack will eventually enable it to rotate across different parks in Raleigh, making it accessible to a broader community. Whether for beginners or experienced riders seeking skill enhancement, the pumptrack offers an engaging way to enjoy biking outdoors.
