The Würth Bike Park is the new pump track on the Bal­len­wasen sports grounds. In Sep­tem­ber, the con­struc­tion project of SSV Gais­bach 1973 e.V., spon­sored by Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG and sup­port­ed by the munic­i­pal­i­ty of Künzel­sau, was com­plet­ed. The park-like facil­i­ty has a total area of 4,500 square meters with an asphalt­ed area of approx­i­mate­ly 920 square meters. The remain­ing area is intend­ed as a wild mead­ow with recre­ation­al facil­i­ties, espe­cial­ly for chil­dren and fam­i­lies. With­in less than 14 days, the com­pa­ny pumptrack.de has mod­eled and asphalt­ed the cir­cuit for all kinds of roller sports equip­ment by hand.

What is a pumptrack?

Pumptracks are play and sports facil­i­ties where motor skills are trained on roller sports equip­ment. It is a closed cir­cuit with waves, steep curves and jumps. When rid­ing on a pumptrack, speed is built up exclu­sive­ly through weight shift­ing and tar­get­ed pulling and push­ing move­ments. With a lit­tle prac­tice, the course can be rid­den entire­ly with­out turn­ing the ped­als. The rid­ing tech­nique, which con­sists of tar­get­ed load­ing and unload­ing, is called “pump­ing” and also works with many oth­er sports equip­ment. For exam­ple, a pump track can also be rid­den on a skate­board, long­board, inline skates or scoot­er. Espe­cial­ly small chil­dren devel­op coor­di­na­tive skills in the best way with a run­ning bike while rolling on the circuit.
