Pump Tracks in Yorkshire and the North East

Pump tracks and BMX tracks across Yorkshire, the Humber and the North East, from village recreation grounds and city parks to club race tracks, area by area from North Yorkshire to Teesside.

About this guide

A pump track is a loop of rollers and berms (banked turns) that you ride by pumping your body up and down rather than pedalling. Get the timing right and you can lap without a single pedal stroke. Most of the tracks in this guide are in public parks and recreation grounds, and many welcome scooters, skateboards and balance bikes as well as bikes.

We have included BMX tracks too, because riders use both and the riding overlaps. Some are club race tracks with a start hill and gate, and many more are smaller BMX tracks in local parks. Each card says which it is, and where a track is run by a club or ridden in booked sessions.

Yorkshire and the Humber come first, with North and North East Lincolnshire alongside the East Riding, then the North East from Northumberland down to Teesside. South Yorkshire has the most tracks, so Sheffield has its own section. Heading south? See pump tracks in the East Midlands. For what to ride, what to wear, track etiquette and the other regions, see our guide to pump tracks in the UK.
