The Velosolutions Pump Track at MOmentum Bike Park in Joplin, Missouri is a full-size asphalt track measuring 193 metres along the ride line. The layout combines fast, flowing sections with tighter, more technical features that reward both speed and precision, making it enjoyable to ride and exciting to watch.
A distinctive feature of the track is the alternate jump line along the main straight and a wall ride leading into the first berm, giving everyday riders creative line options outside of race use.
Alongside the main track, the park also includes a separate beginner pump track, allowing new riders to progress while keeping the main circuit free for training and events.
MOmentum Bike Park is the largest municipal bike park of its kind in Missouri. Set within a 95-acre park, the facility includes extensive bike-specific features and miles of purpose-built mountain bike trails, serving riders of all ages and abilities.
