The Zone 7 BMX Track announced the second edition of the Pumptrack Challenge, taking place at the Generation Schools Sandown Campus. The event takes place on Sunday, August 3.

Whether taking a tentative roll, a seasoned pro, young, or just young at heart—on a BMX, mountain bike, or any other bike—the Pumptrack Challenge is all about the exhilarating joy of two wheels.

The competitions that have a variety of games are set within a family-friendly atmosphere.

More than just a day of riding, the event is also a fund-raiser dedicated to fostering the growth of the sport of BMX riding. The proceeds from the event will go towards maintaining the BMX track at Zone 7.

Participation for interested riders is secured with a pre-entry of R150 per rider through entry ninja, while walk-ins are also allowed at R200 per rider.
