Building a pump track
Water management
When building bike trails and facilities, it is extremely important to know how to deal with heavy rainfall. Drainage systems are essential, especially for jumps and banked curves, but also for larger sealed areas.
After all, efficient drainage not only means longer periods of operation, but also less maintenance work.
Artificial obstacles / equipment
Often, natural obstacles do not meet the requirements of the respective track or type of facility and must therefore be extended by artificial sections. The possibilities range from additional stone fields to complex constructions made of steel and wood. Any kind of artificial elements are possible.
Building a pump track sustainable
Building the “right thing”
For us, sustainability means first and foremost building the right track/facility for the right target group. Multifunctionality should always be the main focus in order to reach as many sporting groups as possible. Relevant sporting facilities which are tailored to the sporting behavior of current and future generations. This is the only way to guarantee that facilities are being used sustainably and for as long as possible, further reducing often unnecessary construction work which occur due to changes in sporting behavior and therefore minimizing the impact on nature.
Impact on the enviroment
Of course, we are aware that we have an influence on nature that is by no means undeniable. Therefore, our basic principle is "as much as necessary, as little as possible" when it comes to intervention in the natural environment. We keep changes to organic terrain forms to a minimum and place a deliberate focus on renaturation. Because even if many construction measures appear irreversible at first glance, a part of the original "nature" can be restored with a well thought-out approach.
Durability
The "right" construction is only effective if you ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Therefore, under the aspect of sustainable construction, the focus is also on the durability of our trails/parks. All central points of our construction measures as well as the choice of building materials aim at keeping the maintenance effort as low as possible and showing maximum durability against wear and tear caused by use.

How is a pump track built?
The construction of an asphalt pump track is similar to classic road construction projects. After an initial consultation and site analysis, a preliminary design is created, forming the basis for detailed planning. This is followed by the construction phase – from excavation to the final shaping of the pump track.

Who is a pump track suitable for?
The first pump tracks were made of dirt and used mainly by mountain bikers. With the introduction of asphalt pump tracks, the concept has expanded significantly: today, they are suitable for both beginners and professionals, with a design that can focus on different target groups. On an asphalt pump track, the rule is: anything that rolls works – from mountain bikes and skateboards to scooters and even wheelchairs.
How much does a pump track cost?
The cost of a pump track depends on its size and construction method. Dirt pump tracks are the cheapest option but require high maintenance and offer little flexibility. Asphalt pump tracks are more durable, with costs varying depending on the asphalt type and the chosen track elements. A simple balance bike track differs greatly in price from a professional facility with jumps and curves.
What are the advantages of asphalt pump tracks?
The main advantages of an asphalt pump track are its durability and low maintenance requirements. Its robust construction makes it resistant to wear and vandalism. Another often-overlooked benefit is noise reduction: at around 80 dB, asphalt pump tracks are among the quietest sports facilities – significantly quieter than football or tennis courts.
