My very bestest crew is moving away to almost 8 acres land in New England. Yeah I'm not happy about it, but he needs to do what he needs to do. With 8 acres he should be able to build himself a pump track. One of you out here has done this as I recall. Whats involved?

and contacting his local mountain bike club (or bmx club) would probably help him build a trail or advise.
In Roswell, Ga there were several parks that wanted trails that the local mtb club built.

I have an extensive pump track on my property. Its a fantastic cardio workout. I also am in process of creating a flow track, basically a pump track with jumps instead of rollers. There are some insane tracks on the west coast and a good bit of info online. Its mostly trial and error to get the track designed but there are some basics that help getting started.
Let me know if I can help ncmbm at hotmail dot com.

Get this book. It's a good place to start.
