Project management appointment for a pumptrack. We conceived the Lalevade-d'Ardèche pumptrack to give the village something both inventive and lasting. Its 225 linear metres of track are split across two routes — a blue line round the outside and a red line through the middle — offering rollers, whoops, doubles, tabletops and banked turns for flowing riding and striking transfers. Designed to help riders progress, it takes BMX, mountain bikes, scooters, skates, skateboards and balance bikes. The project turned a former car park into a planted sports site, giving more than 60% of the space back to nature. Beside the river Ardèche, it has become a fixture for the riding community and an example of responsible development.
