Velosolutions is of course known for the construction of PumpTracks, but advice also plays a major role in our daily activities. And how fun is it when 5 teenagers get to work on building a PumpTrack themselves?
Marin, Thijs, Jetze, Job and Luuk are cycling enthusiasts who like to go out. But in their own municipality of Deventer they missed the cycling challenge. The PumpTrack in Laren (Gelderland) was very popular during a visit and they came up with the idea; can't we build it ourselves?
They looked for a suitable location, went to the alderman and he quickly agreed. The municipality agrees that the addition of a PumpTrack to the De Scheg leisure strip in Deventer fits in with the philosophy of the area. The condition is that the boys build the track themselves and ensure that it is neat and well maintained. In return, the municipality provided an excavator with a driver from Dusseldorp, so they could get to work!
Designing a PumpTrack in such a way that it is attractive to everyone and remains of good quality is not easy. That's why the boys knocked on our door. We advised them free of charge on the design and maintenance, resulting in a diverse track. Advantage of the fact that the PumpTrack is unpaved? An extra jump can always be added. Disadvantage? The men have to work more often to keep the track tidy!
From idea to construction in 3 months? It's all possible as long as you come up with a solid plan, implementation and motivation. Velosolutions Benelux is happy to help with these types of resident initiatives!
