Welcome to The Haverhill Pumptrack Project
Our intention here is to share ideas,
comments and expand the vision:
Haverhill can have a pumptrack that is the benchmark for the region and accessible to all.
Pumptracks...?
The internet says:
A pump track is a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping" to generate momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedaling or pushing.
​
Really, a FUN space outdoors for exercise and activity.

ALL AGES
LOW RISK FREE FAMILY ACTIVITY
“Pumptracks are the basics to a lot of action sports. Kids learn how to handle their bikes, without a big risk of hurting themselves. Pumptracks are a lot more accessible than skateparks, many more kids will get involved in sports. In my opinion, pumptracks should be found in every town just like a soccer field.”
Joost Wichman, 2013 UCI 4x Mountain Bike World Champion
