Road trip to Switzerland?


Watching random sports videos the other day, I saw this video for "The World's Biggest Pump Track."  As a fat, old, Has Been BMX guy, pump tracks look really fun, and a good way to get myself riding again when I get another bike and lose a few more pounds.  But this place in Zurich Switzerland is downright amazing.  Pump lines, jump lines, and all kinds of berms to rail and tranfers to try.

Like I said, I'm old.  I was alive when BMX and later mountain biking were invented, both in California.  I remember when all the best riders were from the U.S. of A.  But the shit's gone worldwide now, and there are people ripping all over the place.  I've known for years that Vancouver, for example, has great outdoor skateparks, insane MTB trails at Whistler, and really cool pump tracks built more recently.  But Switzerland as a world leader in great places to ride?  That's a new one on me.  So here are a few videos of this place.  Enjoy.  The grab a shovel and get to work.
