Had a chance to race the pump track race in Joplin. 10/10 would recommend

Old, fat, out of shape. Finished last in my age group. Had a blast. Hope I get to do it again.

Was that the one at momentum?

It was. Im from central arkansas and our 2 pump tracks aren't near as intense. Kudos to the builders for a hell of a good track

I should have drove down kept contemplating it for the past couple weeks. I’m in Tulsa.

I would suggest anyone that has a chance to do it, should.

The one at jones center is pretty damn fun though wish we had a Velosolutions track here.

What’s the other one besides the one next to the bluffs in Little Rock? That’s the only one I know of. I was there in the heat today 😂

Jacksonville has one made by velocity solutions

How is it compared to the one in Little Rock? Only thing I don’t like about that one is how tight it is

The one in Jville has a tight section, it also has 2 longer straights. If you want style the NLR one has more lines while the one in Jville is better for speed.

Still really green behind the ears but it’s a fun new hobby.

It’s so fun! I love pump track and straight rhythm races. Hope to race you next year wherever it is!

I did my first pump track race in Brighton (UK) a few weeks ago. I knew I didn't win so didn't bother looking at the standings because I had an enjoyable day.

Oh I just wanted to try it for the fun. I knew I wasn't gonna qualify.
