Riders Thoughts: Bluffdale Pump Track, Skatepark and Bike Park

Day Ranch Park is a great place for any wheeled enthusiast to spend a day. As a longboarder, I found the asphalt pump track to be the highlight of the complex. The Bluffdale pump track has a good flow to it with a few unique features. I enjoyed “cement surfing” the smooth transitions and banked turns of the track on my longboard.

The asphalt section of the Bluffdale Pump Track is made by Velosolutions, my favorite pump track builder. So the asphalt is smooth and the transitions are too!

The layout of the Bluffdale Pump Track creates an opportunity to take multiple turns in different directions during a single lap. The humps in the track are great for aiding riders in the building of momentum and speed, but the mellowness of the track makes it good for riders of all skill levels.

There are a few other great pump tracks Utah. The Spoke is a very fun pump track in South Jordan. Here you’ll find steeper features that allow riders to go a little faster than this pump track in Bluffdale. West Valley has a unique pump track/bike park worth checking out as well. Overland Pump Track in Eagle Mountain is another great Velosolutions build. And though a bit of a drive, the Richfield Pump Track is the largest pump track in Utah! And it’s the best in my opinion (so far).

One feature that I found to be unique to the Bluffdale pump track is the “w” shape found on the largest banked turn in the center of the track. This little hump in the middle of the “u” seems slight, but can really affect the line of a rider. And one corner of the pump track has a very tall wood banked turn that bikes can use.
