Mountain bike skills development: Pump Track

Ever wonder why the fast riders are so fast and smooth?  They use their legs and body for more than just pedaling and turning.  They use body movement to gain and maintain speed without pedaling by creating acceleration and momentum.  Riding the pump track is a great tool for learning how to use legs as suspension, corner acceleration and pumping down-slopes while flexing extremities upwards on the up-sloping terrain.
