“Pump tracks are definitely something that’s evolved over the last 10, 15 years,” said Moseley at the track’s opening on Friday.
“It’s amazing, things have changed so much, cycling has become a much bigger sport and it can only keep growing if we keep creating these facilities.”
Shaun Scarfe, from Four One Four Skateparks, which designed and built the £210,000 track, said local authorities were now making more enquiries about pump tracks than about skateparks.
“I think that is down to the wider inclusion of pump tracks,” he said. “At a skatepark, your dad’s probably not going to sit at the side and watch.
“Here, your dad can jump on his bike and roll around himself.”
