Mark Weir's Pump Track

Published by Mike Maxson January 4th, 2007 in General
After climbing over 1-million vertical feet in 2005, Mark Weir discovered a new passion in the comfort of his backyard, a.k.a. "The Peacock Pit." Why is it the called the Peacock Pit? Because there are peacocks there. And what do they have to do with the pump track? Nothing, other than they're slowly getting squeezed out like deer in the 'burbs as this thing, "grows like a wart, blister after blister."

    Brohams - Weir's pump track looks Rad!!! I've got a nomad and a blur. Which would be better to ride a pump track? How can I earn a chance to ride Weir's? Thanks, Ryan

    We need Mark and a crew of guys to do a TV show on building pump tracks in back yards of those who don't have time to do it. I have the space and I have even started the track. I just don't have the time to put it all together. I spend what free time I have on riding.

    This sound like a lot of fun! So I have decided to build a track or two in my back yard. I am logging my progress at http://www.epicbiking.com/pumptrack.html
