IMPROVE YOUR PUMP TRACK RIDING!!

[@quicheboy5971]

I really needed this! 😅 Almost died the other day while accidentally getting air on a pump and nose diving into the upcoming jump

[@TomCardy]

I hope this helps dude!

[@quicheboy5971]

Tom Cardy certainly has

[@luiasori87]

Been there, was my worst crash so far. I happened to me because I wasn't carrying enough speed and to compensate a pulled the bars (pop) too hard. The result was me flying like a rocket (pretty high, but not so far) and casing the landing with my front wheel.

[@Lucas-hk6gn]

Yeah same thing has happened to me.

[@hippo4g93]

That’s a fine choice of words lol , a lil dramatic but funny as hell never the less ! I can imagine it hurt

[@onerider808]

Going to our pump track is one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. The stoke and flow are palpable. I got some great lessons from some sick 12 year olds yesterday.

[@Pienimusta]

Definitely a skill that can improve your riding no matter what discipline. Once made the mistake of bringing slack 29er to small bmx (or maybe kids) pump track. Bike fitted into 2 pumps at same time :D

[@TomCardy]

I agree dude! Keep sending!

[@Duncan23]

Short wheelbases make life a lot easier on pumptracks

[@SquadronLeadr]

Best intro to pump tracks that I've found. 👊

[@MrTKorho]

So, there CAN be good weather on that track!

[@TomCardy]

Yea dude!

[@MarmiteFerret]

The chesty pov is really useful - I can film myself and compare as this is the track I ride most often. Thanks!

[@Oslegend71]

Excellent video. Watching alot of these at the moment due to an accident i had resulting in a damaged shoulder. Back to basics for me.👍

[@matthewcrisp8309]

Can you do a instructional video on the physics of a pump and how you do it?

[@LPx007]

I wish I had a pump track near me...anyway great Video Tom, those are very useful tips! 😎

[@kgoudge]

Thanks mate. I'm takin' the big ripper to Lithgow this weekend.

[@jimjr4432]

Thanks so much, I'm going to be 77 yo tomorrow and figure I need to learn some of those skills. Cheers!

[@matiasm.3124]

That pump track is awesome !!

[@mydearriley]

Every skill is NUMBER ONE!

[@mloskot]

Cheers for the bunch of great tips! p.s.What trousers are you wearing in this clip? Are the knee pads integrated?

[@MB-dz5hx]

Great Howto that covered all aspects of pumptrack fun ! Hope to see you next year competing at the Red Bull Pumptrack challenge...

[@Doty6String]

Bro you killed that track!

[@LCfit]

great video, what pumptrack is this? looks sick!

[@davecardy3984]

Amazing make it look easy as always great explanation and tips 👍

[@sharonaharrington7389]

Great , advise and nicely explained do you do coaching sessions?

[@justjordan8018]

Gosh I am not sure if I want to do the Fist skill or the First skill first, heck I might just as well go for the First skill instead :)

[@austinwebs123]

Hey Tom, I know the concrete track but where is the dusty track on your video at 8.30 mins? Reason for asking is it looks more for beginners with a few more table tops that would be really handy for me! Thx

[@JuanEnriqueSerra]

THANKS A LOT TOM!!!

[@dcooksey503]

Man what type of hub do you have in the jump bike? That buzzing is phenomenal. Love that sound.

[@StreetRallyAsh]

Hope do loud hubs :D

[@willharmonicawilde]

Hi Tom, great videos, thanks! Can you give me any advice on cornering? I went to Horsham pump track today, I'm pretty quick over the rollers and round the first two 90 degree corners, but I always mess up and lose my flow on the three hairpin corners. I find i get thrown out wide on to the grass on the corner exit. Any advice on lines/ body positioning etc would be much appreciated. Thanks, Will

[@gregmossed]

In case someone else comes along, two big things that helped me. 1) don’t try to ride higher than the speed you have. 2) enter high and exit lower. You can kinda carve/pump the exit, as I imagine you’ve figured out in a couple years. Also of course, lean through the turn, don’t try to be upright.

[@ACWheels]

Great video 👍🏼

[@hippo4g93]

Bro those cut scenes on the beginning , are you ok ? That is some crazy shit 🤣🤣 did not know half that was possible

[@qwasd0r]

What do I do when all the pump tracks in my area are A) small and B) have way too big features for their size. How am I supposed to learn anything?

[@jacksims8488]

Sick

[@unzulaessig]

FETT! wish i had a nice one like this in my area, but northern Hamburg all poor poor poor =)

[@olliebenham5463]

Yo horsham that's my local so sick u rode there

[@K61r]

Was looking for general tips and then suddenly realise you''re at my local.... no excuse not to be shredding now

[@jerrymtb988]

I went to the pump track today and I was coming really fast around a corner and someone didn’t see me and walked in front of me with his skateboard and I tried to stop and hit him a little but as I was trying to stop I put my foot down on the upside of the roller trying to stop and jammed my knee really bad. (On second thought I probably should have not even tried to stop and just let him get hurt for walking in front of me).

[@שי.ז-ע2ע]

very good video to begginers like me:)!

[@XxBlueSkiesx]

Hello Tom. Do you run the same suspension & tyre pressures when you aren’t on the trails?

[@that44rdv4rk]

I've got a flat section of trail that could really use some rollers. How does the wheelbase of the bike relate to the size of the features?

[@gamblore5148]

Man I wish I had a pump track that good near me...

[@franticfrancis9710]

I’ve got two within 20 miles of me

[@daltonmasonbestfriend4life]

Yesterday I was at a pump track and I went to high on one of the turns and I injured my knee very bad and it hurts very much

[@cookietheguineapig9424]

I love all of your videos😊

[@JonathanLangborg]

Can you pump with your suspension locked?

[@luiasori87]

Hi, pumping benefits from a stiffer set up, so the harder your suspension and tyres are, the more speed you can get while pumping. A locked suspension on the other hand, is meant for climbing, I guess that set up would be very good for pumping as well (althoug increasing the pressure in the tyres and suspension would be the best). Just don't locked it while practicing jumps, as many suspensions are not designed to take hits while locked.

[@hippo4g93]

And to add insult to injury he wheelies through the whoops 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ! My bikes are now all for sale

[@Tom.Handy1]

Is your arm better now

[@laurawalker984]

It looks like a narrow BMX track - MTB is so technical. I am so confused which bike I need. Sounds like several (LOL)

[@TheNightwalker247]

N+1. Number of current bikes plus one

[@eldelabicidecolores]

Dirt Jump bike :D

[@olliebenham5463]

I am always riding there w my friends be so sick to meet u there

[@lukemtb6800]

Where is this place dude

[@freddiegoossens]

[@tavern93]

[@eldelabicidecolores]

lmfao I also realised there are various step 1s haha

[@jackshuttleworth6570]

Ay up cardy

[@TomCardy]

[@robstringer100]

Where is this track ?

[@scoot3221]

don't ride pump tracks because they r 2 far away from me . my local trails 20 mins away , Shropshire hills Eastridge , is closer

[@j4m35doc9]

There's a pumptrack 5 minutes from Eastridge.

[@scoot3221]

@@j4m35doc9 lol I forgot snail beach pump track . I'm such an idiot

[@paulmartin9482]

Where’s this pump track?

[@awesomeperson8092]

Where is this pump track

[@bohdilama]

I wish you would have included a better HOW TO pump example. Great video nonetheless.

[@AleksCoreBY]

I have no pump track in my city, well, in a whole country no pump tracks xd

[@Airsoftsnipe02002068]

build one, do u have dirt?

[@ups6037]
