Wanna Help Us Build A Pump Track?

I think this is a great idea and good luck but isnt at least some of the point of a pump track is that it takes up hardly any space so you can build one anywhere ie an urban location. That way anyone (including non driving youths) can ride it and just grind out a quick 30 minute session.
Building it in the middle of a quarry so you need to drive to get to it seems like you are missing a trick really.

Pump tracks are pump tracks. Put them wherever you can. Then love and joy will rule the world
They generally aren't worth driving to but as there's so few at the moment I guess people do. I think the urban things was more about the fact people could squeeze them in your typical (American
backyard.

Not too far from where the big 4x4-blocking stones and dirt banking has been put. You'll see a big black Mercedes Sprinter van on the verge most likely. You'll probably be able to see us from the road anyway as the spot is close to the road. If you watch the start of the video we did earlier this week you'll see what/where I mean...
See you tomorrow!

I hurt now. Got a lot done today despite the blazing sun, sand storms, howling winds and lashing rain, oh and the concrete mud we were digging through. Might have to take it easy tomorrow and go digging at Gisburn
Oh and Matt your rear passenger side brake light is out on the van
