It's only taken me 30 years but you're never too old to try... Right?

Just fancied one for the few pump tracks that have cropped up by me recently and then may try and kill myself at the skate park.

It will almost undoubtably end badly but any tips?

If I could find a 2nd hand one with a 21" TT I'd join you. You're never too old to embarrass yourself in front on the youths

Off the top of my head I'd say £150

I only got something cheap. An Eastern Warlock with 21" TT from CRC for 215 quid. Should have been 460.

nice cheap ones do come up a m8 got a very nice wtp for 100...... I built mine for 250... Superstar Carlton 21.4 TT

I use mine for Asda runs for Ben an Jerrys and walking dogs sometimes as well as pump tracks, they're just so much more nimble round town. brakes are very interesting.

I'd use your leg pads if you've got pedals with pins thou but pump tracks are great...

you'll be surprised how knackered you'll get once you start blasting around em thou it's a good little workout
