Jodie Potter wrote this about the build of their Pumptrack enjoy!
This past June Dave and Mark of DirtSculpt Parks arrived in Philipsburg PA to build a new pump track in our local park. They came with their 4-wheeler and a couple shovels and a plan for our track in mind. We supplied a couple skid steers and lots of dirt and pizza. Despite the rainiest June in recent history, after about two weeks, what they left was a work of art and a treasure for our little town. We now have a pump track of approximately 1/4 mile of rollers, table tops, and berms
The track came to be with the help of local volunteers and support of the Philipsburg Borough. After the build, the borough purchased a supply of helmets and handed them out to kids who didn't have one. In the last few months , we have seen hundreds of youth and young at heart taking their turn on the track. It has attracted pro riders from neighboring towns, lots of folks who just love to ride, some new riders who are intrigued by the rollercoaster looking creation, and many kids who spend hours on end pumping around the track. Obviously, this is a gem for our town, and folks are having a lot of fun riding. There's something else going on here, though. Dads are spending time teaching their kids how to maneuver the track. Kids are gaining confidence when they try and succeed at something they weren't sure they could . Not every kid will love or excel at organized sports like soccer or baseball. This place gives them another option. When it comes down to it, this track is really an investment in our youth. It is making our community and its members stronger.
