A [W] pump track is a special, artificially created track that can usually be ridden with mountain bikes – more advanced riders tend to choose smaller and unsprung bicycles such as dirt bikes or BMX bikes. Especially depending on the surface, a pump track can often also be used with skateboards (or even inline skates and kick scooters).

A pump track has strategically placed hills and depressions, so you can go over the whole track in circles without using the pedals on a bicycle at all, just by “pumping” your body up and down.

Note: not every BMX track is a pump track.

How to map

A racecourse

Draw a path way and add:

When using leisure=track you typically won't need to use a highway=* tag.

A site

  • Preferably draw it as an area area (or use a node node if the dimensions are unclear) and add:
  • leisure=pitch
  • name=*
  • sport=* – Commonly used values for pump tracks are cycling / bmx / skateboard / roller_skating / kick_scooter (values can be combined using the semi-colon value separator).
