Dirt & Asphalt Pump Tracks
We focus on design‑first, low‑impact construction and clean finishes. From concept to first laps for communities, schools, resorts, and municipalities in Cape Breton and around Atlantic Canada.
Asphalt vs. Dirt — What’s Right for You?
Asphalt Pump Tracks
Best for: Municipal parks, schools, resorts with high daily throughput
Benefits: All‑weather ridability, minimal maintenance, broad skill range
Consider: Higher initial cost; requires engineered sub‑base and looks best landscaped
Dirt Pump Tracks
Best for: Community clubs, skill parks, phased budgets, events
Benefits: Lower initial cost, tunable lines/features, quick modifications
Consider: Seasonal tuning; drainage and re/surfacing plan required
Our Process
(Concept -> First Laps)
Feasibility & Site Review: Space audit, access, soils, drainage, neighbors, services.
Concept & Budget: Scaled linework + schematic, materials outline, staged budgeting if needed.
Engineering & Specs: Sub‑base, grading, drainage, edging; asphalt or dirt build spec; safety considerations.
Build & Commissioning: Low‑impact earthworks, compaction, shaping, asphalt or dirt surfacing; test, tune & enjoy.
Training & Handover: Maintenance guide, seasonal plan, optional hands‑on crew training.
Communities can leverage pump tracks to draw visitors from far and wide. Day trips turn into vacations. Vacations turn into relocations. Pump tracks provide safe, fun, healthy options for young people and can be used as hubs to drive tourism and community activities. An investment in a pump track is an investment in the future of your community.

HRM Dirt Jump Parks (12+): Standardized safety practices; six sites with integrated dirt pump tracks.
FAQs
How much space do we need?
We tailor layouts to site constraints. Compact community builds can work in smaller footprints; larger sites enable multi‑loop flow lines.
How long does it take?
Concept to first laps varies by scope, permitting, surfacing, and weather. Multi‑day to multi‑week builds are typical.
What drives cost?
Access, excavation volumes, sub‑base spec, surfacing (asphalt vs. dirt), drainage, edging, and amenities (lighting, fencing, signage).
What about maintenance?
Asphalt: periodic inspection and debris management.
Dirt: seasonal tune‑ups, drainage checks, and surface refresh as needed.
Do you work outside Cape Breton?
We focus on Cape Breton and Victoria County, with select projects elsewhere in Atlantic Canada upon request.
