What is a Modular Pumptrack?

Above all, the Modular Pumptrack is awesome fun.

It’s the pump track riders trust, and it inspires safe fun for all ages – anyone who loves to ride a bike, scooter or skateboard.

How we take the guess work out of pump tracks

Our distinctive pump track design, significantly reduces the time (and cost) it takes to produce a guaranteed ridable result, for all seasons.

Made of either precast concrete, fibreglass, or composite, all pump track designs meet the Australian Standard.

The Modular Pumptrack System uses pre-engineered, certified modules to create bumps and turns designed to propel riders around the track without pedalling.

Parkitect’s proven pump track geometry creates the safest, most enjoyable playspace on wheels.

Modular Pumptracks are excellent for riders of all ages and skill levels. They’re great for beginners as they learn to ride and they’re safer to learn on compared to riding on the road.

As riders become more confident, they increase their skills in balance and movement. More experienced riders learn to gather momentum and speed, navigating the turns and bumps like the pros.

Riders naturally move in one direction, avoiding collision.

Modular Pumptracks accommodate multiple users at the same time – all year round.

Why is a pump track called a pump track?

The ‘pump’ in a pump track is made possible by its two components, Rollers and Berms.

Rollers: These are the bumps in the track.

Berms: The berms are the corners of the track.

“Pump” refers to the pushing-down and pulling-up action performed by riders as they make their way around the track.

It’s a thrilling ride, where users experience an up-and-down feeling of weightlessness, just like the drops and climbs in a roller-coaster, but on a micro-level.

Pump tracks are designed this way so they can be ridden completely without the need for pushing and pedalling.

    Our old skate park was out of date and the equipment needed replacing and updating. In conjunction with the local youth, through our Youth Centre, it was decided to look at a different system rather than replacing like with like, and the Modular Pumptrack was seen as an ideal alternative.

    The response from the community and the riders has been extremely positive, the youth were in attendance whilst the modules were being pieced together and could hardly wait to be let “loose”.
