And we're back.

We've been very busy since our last post.  At the beginning of April we were through in Glasgow at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome for the Scottish Bike Show.

As you can see from the pictures we had been allocated quite a large space, room for the pumptrack and a selection of our features.

We had enough room to put in several see saws which the kids love, as well as rollers, skinnies, limbos and the kicker/table top/ramp combo.  These were set up in a way that gave the participants lots of space and options, it's important that they have the chance to try the easier features first and build their confidence or go round them if needed.  

The team did a fantastic job getting everything set up, we had to use trolleys to bring all the equipment into the arena.  That took us most of the Friday afternoon but with all the rest of the team there on the Saturday morning we got the finishing touches done before the public arrived.  From then on we were very busy for the whole of the weekend, the features were a big hit, especially with the younger ones and the set up enabled us to get more people on bikes then ever before.  We did give some of the younger members of the team some time off to go and meet a local hero.

They were happy to be there, honest.

Whilst some of us were busy at the Scottish Bike Show, other members of the team were busy finishing a pumptrack for London BMX.

This was a slightly different build to normal as they wanted something similar to our original pumptrack but with a bit of versatility and highly portable.  With this in mind Rich and the team used a similar construction to our forest track but in a pumptrack style.

 We supplied them with rollers, kickers, ramps and table tops so they could set the track up as they wanted.

Here you can see the track with rollers and the kicker/table top/ramp combination.

Here you can see it all packed away into their trailer.





The next couple of weeks are going to be really busy, we are in Blackburn on Saturday, then through to East Yorkshire for just over a week.  As well as that we are going to be in Perth and Alloa this weekend and Bolton the following weekend.  Be sure to look on our Website or our Facebook page for upcoming events.  And when we're not on the road we'll be building another pumptrack that has just been ordered.  Exciting times.
