Napier’s bike pump track was designed by Jeff Carter of Rotorua’s South Star Adventures, the pump track is inspired by a track located in Mendrisio, Switzerland and has been popular since its completion in March 2015.
The basic goal of a pump track, besides having fun, is for the rider to learn how to pump the terrain to maintain speed. Pump tracks are set up with a series of rollers and berms that allow the rider to gain and maintain speed along the track without pedalling.
This full size pump track covers an area of 60m long by 30m wide and consists of 500m of continuous tracks.
The track caters for a wide range of skills, abilities and ages and can also be used by keen skateboarders and scooter riders.
