GMC Pump Track Challenge

Pump track is made up of a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping" - meaning to create momentum by moving their bodies up and down, no pedaling or pushing permitted. The GMC Pump Track Challenge will test rider's ability to find their flow. Riders will be timed on 1 full loop of the track with the goal of earning the title of Pump Track Champion.
