Support the St. John's Pump Track

Avalon Mountain Bike Association, in collaboration with Canary Cycles and the City of St. John's, is developing an asphalt pump track in the area of Quidi Vidi Park. A pump track is a continuous loop of berms and “rollers” (paved mounds) that is ridden by “pumping” your body up and down over features to generate momentum, without pedaling or pushing. Pump tracks can be used by cyclists of all ages and skill levels, as well as scooters, skateboards and wheelchairs when paved. Pump tracks are a great way to develop balance and handling skills for everyone from toddlers to professional athletes and offer an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy cycling in a safe, traffic-free environment.

In order for this project to be completed, AMBA needs to raise $30,000 to fund the remaining portion of the project.  Contributions have already been secured from Canary Cycles at $100,000 and $60,000 from the City of St. John's.
