Under the guise of 'Red Bull Backyard Digger', the municipality of Heeze Leende was one of the lucky municipalities where Red Bull realized a mud bicycle cross track, also known as a dirt track. This track was built with local BMX riders and contained high humps and jumps. The maintenance was arranged by the riders themselves and partly because of this it became a great success among the inhabitants. The initiators got older, moved away from the municipality and the track unfortunately fell into disrepair. Urban Sports are also on the rise in Heeze Leende, and after the skate track in Heeze was refurbished, the idea arose during the corona period to revive the bicycle cross track on the Loofvennen. Velosolutions Benelux supported the residents with the renewal of the PumpTrack. Curious about how this worked? Read our blog!
And in 2025, another great step was taken at this PumpTrack, we were allowed to asphalt it! In this way, the PumpTrack is not only accessible for cyclists but also for steppers, skateboarders, inline skaters and wheelchair users. A great development in this relationship of years, in this way, the PumpTrack will only become more popular.
The PumpTrack is the result of Lind on Wheels, a youth initiative supported by parents, Cordaad Welzijn and the municipality of Heeze-Leende.
