Billingshurst Pump Track Project

Billingshurst Pump Track Project
Why this petition matters
I would like to gather local support to help my application to Billingshurst Parish Council for the installation of a Pump Track
What is a Pump Track? A Pump Track is a type of off-road terrain for BMX and mountain bikes, made of circuits of banked turns and features designed to be ridden completely by riders “pumping” — creating momentum by up and down body movements.
They are a great fun for all - adults as well as kids - and are suitable for all skill levels. They teach the basic skills of carrying momentum, balance and speed by using your arms and legs to pump your bike around the track. As you get better the tracks are designed to provide more challenges for you with no changes to the construction. A feature that a 5 year old can roll through can be used as a gap jump for a professional.
Pump tracks provide a sustainable, safe and fun environment for all year round biking. They have helped to breed Olympians and world champions in DH Mountain Biking and BMX racing and have brought communities together to enjoy a fun filled activity together.
