Leende, Netherlands

Under the guise of “Red Bull Backyard Digger,” the municipality of Heeze Leende was one of the lucky municipalities where Red Bull realized a clay bike cross track, also known as dirt track. This track was built with local BMX'ers and included high humps and ramps. The maintenance was handled by the riders themselves and partly because of this, it became a great success among the locals. The initiators got older, moved away from the community and the track unfortunately fell into disrepair. Urban sports are also on the rise in Heeze Leende, and after the skate track in Heeze was refurbished, the idea arose in the corona period to revive the bike cross track at the Loofvennen. Velosolutions Benelux supported the residents in the renewal of the PumpTrack. Curious about how this worked out? Read our blog!

And in 2025 another beautiful step was taken at this PumpTrack, we were allowed to asphalt it! This way the PumpTrack is not only accessible for cyclists but also for steppers, skateboarders, inline skaters and wheelchair users. A great development in this relationship of years, this way the PumpTrack will only become more popular.

The PumpTrack originates from Lind on Wheels, a youth initiative supported by parents, Cordaad Welzijn and the municipality of Heeze-Leende.
