I had some time to myself last night so I thought I'd try a bit of pumping. Trouble is I can kind of do it but I tend to get a bit out of tune with it all and end up bouncing up and down and not really getting anywhere...
OK, smut aside
I was out on Ashton Court (Bristol)'s new quarry trail which is quite BMXy with several bumps there that are clearly designed for pumping. While I can do the whole 'pump on the downslope' thing, I'm struggling to really see why I'd bother. I can go faster by pedalling instead of pumping so why would I pump? Or are you supposed to be able to do both at speed?
Let me know how you pump...
