Majors Road Pump Track at O’Halloran Hill.
The Majors Road Pump Track is located alongside the Sam Willoughby International BMX (SWBMX) facility in O’Halloran Hill. The track opened in May 2023 and has been built to cater for community use as the BMX facility is for club members only.
The pump track is an endless loop with rollers, berms, jumps and transfer options that are designed to be ridden without pedalling. Instead riders use a pumping motion, pulling up on the face of rollers and pushing down on the backside.
The majority of the track comprises of long straights which will allow riders to generate speed and rhythm between the various single, double and triple rollers. Each straight contains slight direction changes to allow for the hipped features to enrich the riding experience and flow.
The south east corner of the track is compressed into a berm to berm, allowing for riders to lean into some switchbacks, and also provides a good location for the timing gate during race events.
The pump track was built by Common Ground Trails.
