Buck Woods Urban Skills Spot

Buck Wood in Thackley on the edge of Bradford is an urban BMX / Pump track with a number of jumps and drops for all abilities.

Like this?

The Buck Woods skills track is built on an existing bank formed from excavations of an old railway tunnel which runs underneath the wood.
It is formed in an oval shape with tabletops and doubles with the progression of skills for abilities designed in. There are jumps and drops for the beginner through to the advanced plus a handcrafted pump track.
It is also surrounded by the woods of Calverley, Esholt & Buck Woods itself so it is often a good place to start a non-waymarked XC ride with a bit of a play.

Clubs

Bradford BMX Bandits is a club based in Peel Park, Bradford, with it's own track there which competes in BMX racing contests nationally and internationally.

The Friends of Buck Woods Society & Crosstrax drove the plan with Bradford Council in around 2006.
SingletrAction were involved in making this happen with over 300+ Voluntary hours spent in to completing this. SingletrAction act as caretakers in cooperation with Bradford City Council. They typically hold a few evening build sessions in late spring to address any issues, and tweak any features that need it and carry out any work requested by BCC. Bradford City Council have a very positive and progressive attitude towards MTBing and SingletrAction have worked with them a number of times on projects.
