Saturday Nov 21st marked our first PumpTrack event on the new Brooklyn Bike Park built by Velosolutions and it was awesome!! For the remainder of the year and 2016 we decided to create a pump track winter series for all the local riders in the NYC area to get the Sugar Cayne Bike Fest experience with a day full of a variety of competitions to enjoy!
For our first event we did time trials around the entire track, chase races, time trail relay, longest wheelie and best style. Most of the competitions were solo rider based but the time trial relay grouped the riders into teams of 4. Each rider on the team did a full lap then tapped the next rider on their team, whichever team had the shortest total time won the race. The Chase race was an elimination, head to head race where two riders start on opposite sides of the oval pump track and go around until one rider catches up to the other.
