The newly merged Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Department (PPR) has teamed up with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP), Advanced Sports Inc, Neighborhood Bike Works, and the bicycle shops of Philadelphia to launch the Philly Pumptrack project; the city’s first ever, public pumptrack.


Pumptracks are one of the fastest-growing attractions in biking, are small in scale and can be enjoyed by cyclists of all ages and skill levels. A pumptrack is fun and teaches riders essential riding skills while building fitness, all in a low-risk environment. A pumptrack in Philadelphia will provide a place where young and old can ride bikes in safe numbers and in mixed-age groups. The Philadelphia Pumptrack will be a venue where riding and spectating can be a community affair.

Skidmutro Creative Donates to Pumptrack!

Skidmutro  has made a generous donation to the Philadelphia Pumptrack! Owners Travis and Sierra Skidmore have been long time advocates in the Philly cycling scene and they have once again stepped up to create a better world for cyclist!

Here is a big fat logo of theirs!


 "We felt inspired by the Philadelphia PumpTrack vision and wanted to get involved to help see that vision become a reality," says Travis Skidmore. Skidmutro sees Philadelphia PumpTrack as an amazing opportunity to create a special place for kids to gain skills, exercise and participate in something that offers an alternative activity to organized team sports."


If you find yourself needing some design work give Travis a Sierra a shout. 

Thanks Skidmutro!
