- I started building my pumptrack in March. I've built dirt jumps before but this was my first track. I learned quite a bit since I broke ground and I thought I'd do a video going through some tips and the mistakes I made. hopefully this can help you if you plan on building your own.

Out of all the build videos I seriously think you gave me the most actual knowledge on building
That's awesome man! Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching. Build some cool shit!
My son just got interested in BMX. So I'm starting to make a pump track in our yard. But I just wanted to say I laughed when you mentioned the private property signage. Because as a kid, I would go into a large wooded area in my hometown to play paintball with my friends. And we walked down someone's driveway to get to our spot. Looking back on it, I now realize that must have been someone's property 😅
Hahaha I have almost identical stories. I miss the paintball in the woods with my friends days. But pumptracks are fun as shit. Hope yours turns out well and you guys have a blast. Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks for pushing the inspiration, and the berm info. When the rain let's up I'm getting the shovels out.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. Bust those shovels out and get digging!
@@acebikemedia will do!
Sick man
Thanks for checking it out!
Wacker packer will literally change your life ❤ the small amount of gas it takes will literally out weigh the overall benefits. Trust me your pump track will be so much faster and you won't get it ever going back soft.
Ps if the back of your shovels aren't paintless you haven't slap packed enough ❤
Last tip make a 4x4ft square with 2x4s and use chicken grate ontop and nail it all down and clip the edges. Place ontop of wheel barrow and you have no more rocks! 😊
I’m also starting my pump track this spring, waiting for this breakup period to end as I’m located in central Wisconsin. Hard part is over as I already convinced the wife! Mostly plan to use this with our Onewheels this summer but my 10yr old and 6yr old mountain bike as well.
Great video, definitely helps a lot getting others take in their experience!
Glad the video was able to help. If you have any questions once you get digging feel free to hit me up here or on our Instagram. Thanks for watching
I am planning a backyard pumptrack and i have that book in my amazon cart. Does it cover how to convince your wife to get on board with the pump track? So far its a hard no
Not specifically but it does talk about how to make it look really appealing which could help. But that gives me an idea for a future video lol.
Great tips. I might hit you up for some tips this next year.
Thanks Mike!
You should definitely build a pumptrack!
🙏
When is the next pumptrack video coming out??
Man, hopefully soon. I have like 4 other videos to do but it is coming. Thanks for watching. And don't forget to subscribe.
Good idea 👍
i like n sub you 👍
Thanks! Appreciate it.
@@acebikemedia 👍the best
i want to make one. i have no land
Find a local reserve or forest preferably a discrete location and bring friends and make sure no one knows about it
@@Patrick-ps1hf Thank you so much. I have no friends or anyone else here that rides. so it'll be a secret for sure Hehehehehe
@@DirtDigglerDetecting remember that you can keep progressing your jumps and be patient and don’t rush it or you’ll stack
