Dirt Factory: Bike Pump Track in the Park

26th October 2022 11am to 3pm 

Stoneleigh Park, Buxted Road, Derker OL1 4TG

Come along and have a go on our  pump track! Out track has a series of mounds and banked turns that is designed to improve a rider's bike handling technique. Pump tracks are usually in a circuit so that riders can complete multiple laps by 'pumping' — generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing.

The Modular Pump Track is a portable bike track used in places such as parks, festivals and schools. The aim of the event is to provide an activity which engages the local community, encourages more people to have fun on their bikes, improve skills, health, well-being and confidence. The Pump Track includes 3 x bikes and 10 x spare helmets. 

Dirt Factory will set up a mobile bike track in the park for members of the public to spend their leisure time and/or use for exercise. It's a fun activity aimed at all ages and abilities and we provide a small number of bikes and helmets for any one who does not have their own.

The session is delivered and supervised by three members of staff from Dirt Factory who are trained and DBS checked.
