One of the tiny tots kept lapping the track after his required two laps were over. Others did one lap and called it good.
It was the 10th annual Idaho State Pump Track Championships held this week at the Ketchum Bike Park—a challenge for cyclists to navigate rollers and berms by pumping their body, not their pedals, up and down.
The competition has fielded up to 200 cyclists in its 10-year history. Enjoy the ride as Eye on Sun Valley’s Karen Bossick takes you there.
