2015 Pump Battle Series #1

After the success of the Pump Battle Series in 2014, the pump track race series is back for 2015.The first stop of the series will take place during the Papendal Bike Event on May 9th and 10th in Arnhem, Netherlands and feature a "straight rhythm" style track. MTB riders from all disciplines as well as BMX riders will battle against each other in a head-to-head racing format.


Two identical Bikeparkitetc modular pump tracks will be built next to each other. The pump tracks will be 100 meters long with a Pro Gate BMX start system. Be aware, you are aloud to pedal out of the gate.

During the qualification runs, all riders have one chance to set the fastest time on the pump track. Remember, you only have 1 shot to set your time! The 36 fastest riders will qualify for the head-to-head finales.

During finales, riders will race head-to-head and the fastest rider from every heat qualifies for the next round. At the end there are only 2 riders left for the big finale who will battle for the title of Pump Battle King of Papendal.

On Saturday we will be organizing a special pump track kids day with try out sessions and pump track demonstrations by Crankworx Rotorua Pump Track Challenge winner Joost Wichman and Olympic BMX finalist Twan van Gendt in addition to small races for kids up to the age of 10.

Registration can be done HERE or on-location Sunday morning from 09:00 - 11:00AM.
