UPDATE: Our web-savvy alumni Jason Van Horn, is up in Portland building his own – and y’all should head on over to his person site for a moment of inspiration as to what is possible with time, tools, and land.  The story is here.

You mean, aside from a dream backyard playground?  Just imagine taking an empty, unused lot in San Francisco, and terraforming the flat and unremarkable lot into a miniature earthen replica of an ocean wave, a miniature pump track, and suddenly you have created the new community hangout, getting riders young and old to come out and have fun on a human powered rollercoaster.

The city is still reviewing our plans for a McLaren Park bicycle skills development area, which would include a pump track.

A pump track certainly wouldn’t be much of a hit with the youth:

And, if you look far and wide, you might just find a pump track in the least likely of places, like your local Jaguar dealer

Of course, if anyone has a backyard pump track they feel like sharing any time, we’d always like to hear about it.  Ahhh, dreams.

Keep dreaming, and we’ll keep pushing for those dreams to become reality.
