rockshins Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I have seen some videos of McAllister Park in San Antonio, they just added a Velosolutions pump track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to the trail stewards, and never heard back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing here. No pump track, no park. just a bit of empty lot behind dart bowl. i did a 'suggest an edit' on the google page to remove.

It seems like paved is the way to do for a pure pump-track. Dirt is so much upkeep and wood rots away eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeend Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 What is going on with the east Austin Bike park?I dont do the FB thing but see some of the pics on IGram.

Chongo Loco Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I read something about one in Cedar Park. Are there BMX tracks in San Antonio and Phgffulgerville?Had time to kill this a.m. while kid was at dentist and took doggies for a walk at Milburn Park. They sure have upgraded the track since the last time I was there 5-6 years ago! All the ramps are concrete and the wall is 8’ at least. Was pretty soggy so didn’t get off the trail to look closer at the full track. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckt Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wish I could jump, that is just around the corner from me. Seen too many Friday Fail videos to give it a serious try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen too many Friday Fail videos to give it a serious try. +1 Also, the Milburn park pump/jump track, never hit those concrete faces without first looking at the other side. I also used to ride this sparingly before the concrete was added and one time, I had a big moment when I hit the jump, and hadn't noticed the backside had a huge rut that wasn't there the previous time. The rest of it is fun but doesn't necessarily flow great for a beginner. Also, if anyone has a spare broom, it would be useful to have one there. Last time I wanted to do some sweeping but there was no broom in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeend Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 As far as PVille.. yea not a pump track but there is a huge skate/bmx park . Bowls,walls. The usual and a lot of funSent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4fun Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Pflugerville has a BMX track, not really too small kid friendly. Took my kids out for a begginer clinic and none made it past the first straight away without tears of fear. Was talking with the operator and they recently spent 5 million revamping it so they could host UCI world cups. I hope they do well, but when I was kid the 5-8 year old age range were the biggest classes and I don't know how a track makes enough money without having those classes full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pervi concrete, I assume. This article mentions that the park was built by Evergreen Skateparks. I don't see any mention of the concrete style on their website, but they do mention drainage below the park. They could mention it in their blog someplace--maybe I'll dig though to see if my hunch is correct. Lot of very cool looking parks on their website.

AntonioGG Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I rode by Milburn park yesterday, and it looks like they'll be doing a massive extension of the pumptrack. Lots of flagged trail on the open area. Looks like all the kids/adults with an RC buggy/truck were out enjoying the jumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I drove out to Taylor a while ago to visit Texas Beer Co. and see Taylor in general and happened upon that skatepark. the atmosphere seemed chill with skaters and bikes sharing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place is fun and has a ton of potential! My son & another kid found a random scrap plywood and drug it over to the seesaw to cover up some missing planks. They were proud that got the thing to work. I wish there were more rollers to pump and flow on. Is the one at McAllister park worth a trip to SA just for that?

mtb_jeremy Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The pump track at McAllister park is really nice. Went last week on Wednesday and only two other guys there at 11AM. People at the track were super cool. It was Spring Break, but still likely busier after work hours. There are the other trails at McAllister to explore, and a site or too in San Antonio.
