A World Class Facility for the future of Bampton
In the last few years, there has been a huge rise in mountain biking, bike riding and skating. We feel there are inadequate facilities in our area for this growing passion. With the unfortunate increase of vandalism within the village it’s become more obvious that there isn’t enough facilities within the village for the "teen" age group. With some resorting to anti social behaviour to entertain themselves. This suggests there is not enough being done to address this and a Pump Track could well be the answer!

The Whimple track caters for cyclists, scooter riders, skaters and skateboarders, together with a smaller track for younger children on balance bikes. In total the track is almost 200 metres in length and is already proving to be the envy of a number of larger villages and towns in the South West.
With technical support from Daniel Crew of DC Cycleworks in Whimple, Cllr Richard Lawrence worked with Kye Forte, himself a former world bmx champion, to design and build the track which went way beyond what anyone could have imagined.

Lots of exciting changes coming to Bogey for 2023
This year we’re simplifying things. Cutting back some of the lines so we can tidy things up a bit - making it easier to maintain - while gaining more dirt to make the most ridden lines even better ?
We’re a very small BMX club running this jump park - So anyone that wants to get involved, have fun on their bike, learn how to build jumps, help cut the grass…. whatever…. You’re more than welcome! We are here every Sunday afternoon from 1pm.
This wet start to spring means we’re not close to riding yet, but the crew have been making the most of it and working on the jumps every Sunday.
Also shout of to Ash for bring his strimmer today, and starting the first grass cut of the year.

Braunton Freeride has been created by a local group of Mountain Bike Riders and parents who wanted to create a fun and inclusive place to ride. During the pandemic and the limitations on travel there was a growth of unofficial trails and jumps being built. We want to harness all of that enthusiasm for riding by providing the right space to enjoy the sport legally and safely. The site is being managed by Braunton Freeride with the express permission of the landowner.
BENEFITS To provide an outlet for young people to stay active and be actively engaged in a community project
COMMUNITY To provide a safe, yet challenging environment for riders to progress with benefits to mental health & wellbeing
ENVIRONMENT To create trails that fit comfortably within the natural woodland, mindful of the impacts to nature and the environment
WHERE: Not currently open - stay tuned. DO NOT ride there until it is open.
